Thank you for writing this, I really appreciate it. I've been following Itagaki's career since the early DOA days (and yours too since your time at 1UP, btw), so this really means a lot. I had no idea you two were *that* close.

You don't even mention Xbox anymore even though your own game is available for it, too.

Are you aware of bsky.app/profile/unse... and the book The Games That Werenโ€™t (Bitmap Books)?

79 would be terrible for Ubisoft. I'm guessing low-to-mid 80s.

It was meant to differentiate "computer role-playing games" from "[table-top] role-playing games". So basically digital vs. physical. I think later on, the term "CRPG" has also been used to differentiate western RPGs from JRPGs.

The IGN acquisition was the beginning of the end, the removal of the comments function is the continuation. :(
