Not to mention that useful information was harder to find and more difficult to verify, especially for niche technical topics like the inner workings of specific games.
In 99 we only had crappy dialup and I didn’t really know how to browse the web, even if I sort of understood the basics (and I would have been six, admittedly). My dad would look up cheat codes at work for games I was playing and download the Web page onto a floppy drive to bring home to me. It was wild times.
That to say, the infrastructure was all there, but it’s hardly guaranteed as a kid that you’re browsing the web and know where to find all the best glitches.
Yeah but not a lot of people actually had it, let alone a computer.
