Message: [QUOTE="valosagutas, post: 212069, member: 77791"] Yes. In ancient companies you can see their attempt to sell the same thing with different names and appearances as if it's a better thing. However legally there was a good reason for it: Especially in America there are lots of registered trademarks with tons of names. It means you are not so flexible in America part of because of this and part of how their legal framework is. However this logic is valid for every part of the world and their legal system. So it caused why regional versions of products looking different and having a different name despite they are the same product. However things are not that simple. Ancient companies sometimes believed "this wouldn't sell there because of its name and how it looks like so let's change it" and "perhaps thus we can make people buy these products for like collection or let's fool them they are different" lol. How it reflected in video game industry in most popular example is how SEGA Genesis and SEGA Mega Drive are the same but people around the world had no idea lol. It caused chaos in early parts of the internet so hard people were keep claiming "Megadrive is urban legend, what there is is only Genesis" and vice versa and whatnot BS lololol. Eventually there was a thing that either side claimed the other is "bootleg" version of the console like it's pirated fake console lol. It was popular thing for SEGA fanbois to hate Nintendo, then they were also in digital wars with each other. Even the fact that same game exist in seemingly different console did not make people ensure these consoles basically the same thing lololol. However before internet we were living our lives in total ignorance so we had no way to "fact check" everything. There were indeed fake consoles that can run real games, we just had no idea which is real. It took many years for ancient gamers to realize they were actually playing on fake consoles that the game were pirated lol. Nintendo had tons of bootleg consoles. So much fake versions of NES.
