GOG barely turns a profit most years, sadly. PC gamers (and publishers) overwhelmingly choose the option locked down with DRM.

Yeah haha the Australian ratings board are sticklers; we didn't even get an R18 rating for games here til like 2012, before that stuff had to be censored.

When I was a kid the ratings stamps were a lot less intrusive, but in the early 2000s they updated them to this, probably too many parents accidentally buying GTA for their kid and catching them murdering strippers and shit lmao

Me too, and even as they are smaller I think the PSP and the NS1 also have excellent box arts ratios (PSP is a small line on top, NS1 a square at the left top corner) that value them, and another reason I completely abhor any GKC or dislike the NS2 editions, there is a wall of text in the front cover bottom on top of it.

NS2 native games (that are not GKC) are fine, the bar on top is a bit bigger than the one on PSP games and definitely not as good as the square from NS1, but the red boxes they come with look good.

Blue boxes for PS, green boxes for XB and red boxes for NS look really pleasing lined sideways when stored but not lined to show the spines.

I really like this platform distinct color coding we have currently, and the color and even the stronger tone from all three of them look good and suit them.

In Germany the tiers are 0 (white), 6 (yellow), 12 (green), 16 (blue) and 18 (red):

Both tiers (and their color code) are the same for video games and for movies... but most movie covers (DVD, Blu-ray and UltraHD) have a flip cover. So you flip the cover and on its back is the same cover without the age restriction logo (and often also without the barcode). Some movies even have the German cover front and an international cover on the back.

I wish flip covers were the standard for video games,too.

That thing is huge tho, lol. And it's actually shaped kinda like the Brazilian flag even xD.

Yeah, reversible covers are nice, usually when they happen it is with a different cover art tho.

I do have Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth games for the PS4, and 1 and 2 have different reversible cover arts, but 3 has the same cover art as the reversible for some reason. The USA version.

Reversible covers also can happen when something minor happen to the box and art, so you could flip it if the back art is still good.

Fun fact... Sony are not the only ones who manufacture bluray/dvd/cd discs. Several other companies produce them and will continue to do so as long as there are customers who need them. So music and movies and games will still be made on physical media..... just not from Sony.
