many games also supported external audio chips, many machines had 2 cart slots, one for games and one often used to extend the audio capabilities of the machine or add ram, Konami had their own custom audio chips on carts so their games sound a lot like their NES games www.msx.org/wiki/MSX-MUSIC

I actually think Block Game could be absolutely huge and there's tons of people that grew up with Minecraft, are too old for roblox and fortnite and would love a more curated/different block game

He clearly didn't, I think he got too much in his bubble and he should have followed his own advice, his YouTube channel on game development and marketing is one of the most followed 😅 unfortunate fumble, can happen
