    I didn’t realize some of my favourite games were running under the speed cap for years sometimes

    Same, in my case as a European. PAL is weird.

      Oh, that’s a whole other subject. “Old games were so polished and fully finished”. Meanwhile, half of the planet was either playing games squished down, in slow motion or both. And most of them didn’t even know.

      It’s not as simple as that, either. May people think all games ran 15% slower. Many games did have some retiming somewhere, but it was definitely not great and people didn’t complain because with no internet, they often didn’t realize what was going on.
