Phantasy Star remains to this day my favorite RPG. I was the kid in the neighborhood who's parents bought a SEGA Master System instead of a NES. I would play Final Fantasy a bit over their houses but it always paled in comparison to Phantasy Star. I recently replayed it on Nintendo Switch. Still a very challenging RPG and stil feels great.
I agree that borrowing against unrealized gains is crap, it's lead to major economic divide. However, just make borrowing against unrealized gains illegal. Taxing unrealized gains is the wrong solution for a real problem.
I don't know if closing the gap on features with Boa and hardening for production use will also bloat the compilation size. Regardless, for passing 97% of the spec at this size is pretty impressive.
You may be correct, but the rate of change in baseball is glacially slow compared to the other sports. One of baseball's intrinsic values is it's legacy, tradition, and history. Some may scoff at that, and I think there are good arguments against legacy/tradition as a reason to withhold change, but there are a lot of people out there that believe this. The MLB Commissioner's have largely been tasked with protecting that tradition and history.
