Interesting little thing I just found out.
It turned out that Sega wanted to have Digital Downloads of games way back in 2000/1 with the Dreamcast, something they called the "@barai system"
You would pay a small fee to download a trail of a game and if you liked it you could purchase the full game for a cheaper price than actually buying the Dreamcast game physically. I'm not sure if they implemented it in Skies of Arcadia like they said they would but it's very impressive they had an idea for this years before it came to fruition.
MAYBE IT'S STILL IN DEVELOPMENT HOLY SHIT GUYS 14 YEARS OF DEV TIME THIS WILL BE THE BEST GAME EVER RIGHT MOVE OVER HALF LIFE 3 THIS GAME HAS MORE WAITING TIME THAN YOU.
