Very interesting, but why on earth is it the fashion now to put up bloody text to what I am actually hearing?
Basically lack of B-roll to flesh out the stories visuals.
its patronizing to say the least. Why isnt there cuban text for example with the english narrative.

This reminds me a bit of when Extra Credits was doing those episodes on gaming culture/development/etc in countries not typically considered to be a big part of the gaming market. Its really interesting stuff and I'd love to see more pieces like this. Good work Polygon.

I want to rebuild SNET at my house. it seems really cool, that these physical cables connect most of the country and span hundreds of miles. its really hard to believe.

Why on earth would the government clamp down on this? so ridiculous -and they're already heavily sanctioned. Let the citizens enjoy entertainment!

This is super interesting, but given the nature of the topic I almost feel like we should keep this quiet. Y'know: the one rule!
