here's the evidence

over this

after my latest order I'm never buying from them again.

Hmm… this seems like a weird move. I assume they had a contract, wonder why the guy caved.

Comments seem semi-offensive and a bit dumb, but not terrible enough to cause the cancellation. Then again, UK is in a very weird state now as far as policing the internet goes.

I mean Russia had the Dendy and not the NES. Maybe that doesn't apply to this, but yeah some countries didn't get a Nintendo. Dendy is the NES to people who grew up in Russia.

Sounds like they're being stupid about a stupid comment.

i get the feeling it one of those 'you'll never work in this town again' things? except i can't tell if it's real or just in the heads of these people that they go after? they always seem to be so intimidated...

what makes them the even the least bit offensive??

I make pretty much the same comments on here to our collection of 8/16-bit avatars who for some reason think it was cool to be playing Sega Master System in 1996 or some crazy shit.

A guy thinking SNES sucks is not less capable of knowing the SNES library of RPGs and having a clear and objective opinion about it.

People have become unbelievably dumb.

Bitmap Books suck anyway. They remove negative reviews from their site to pretend their books are fantastic. The one about all JRPGs was riddled with mistakes and a total waste of money. They never published my negative review.

Cancel culture does not exist.
It's been replaced by "give all your royalties to charity forever" culture.
They didn't have the balls to cancel the guy completely because they would probably lose too much content for an already planned and announced book.

Shame. I wasn't going to buy this one, but I own and have enjoyed several of their books, at least for the printing quality and the iconographic content.

These cannot be the tweets lmao.

Well, that's embarassing. I thought the 'wanting to appeal to everyone and everything' trend was over, but evidently not.

I bought their War of the Worlds book. The art was really bad.

Most of their retro books seem to just be pasting some key art and screenshots on the pages and then calling it a coffee table book.

Nerds will see this combination of Googled images and a description of the game which an AI could've written and be like "I need this"

Brazil also didn't get the NES, it was a shit ton of clones thou. Maybe the most known was Dynavision 2 - the first one was an Atari 2600 clone
