This article argues that the core value of video games lies in their inherent democracy and equality, symbolized by the '100-yen coin' philosophy. It critiques modern industry trends like free-to-play and subscriptions for potentially undermining this principle, contrasting them with Nintendo's consistent focus on accessible and equitable gaming experiences across platforms like the Famicom and Nintendo Switch 2.
