In the "old days", consoles were pretty simple affairs compared to what we have today - largely manufacturers relied on the cost of the physical cartridges to ensure lock-in and control over the available games on their systems, along with copyright control over the documentation required to properly code against the system.

Other bus companies may be suffering a loss as passengers switch to fake "zero emission" transport.
If you used such a bus because of the zero emission claim you might ...
