Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Ben Bero Beh on their November 15, 1984 issue as being the fourth most-successful table arcade unit of the year.[2]

gollark: Oh, I assumed you mean you didn't care much about it, which would be a lie.
gollark: What?
gollark: You shouldn't really, unless you plan to lean heavily on dictatorial direct control. Make the other rules clearer.
gollark: Rule changes should occur if there are actual issues needing to be addressed. Some of these changes do indeed address issues people have raised, but as far as I can tell nobody has actually had an issue with advertising and cargo-culting unnecessary strict and unclear rules from larger servers is actually bad.
gollark: Again; do you actually have a justification for the advertising rule change beyond "all rules should be stricter because [things]"?
