PCs costs much around year 2000. and porn and email and messenger where the bonus to games. its was like
“hey look counter strikes etc .. nice games”
“hmm not sure”
“ there is also porn”
“bought”
I bought PCs around year 1998, and I don't remember porn being in the selling point, furthermore everyone I knew in 2000 had PCs because they had to use office. PCs had already infiltrated the market at the point the internet became a going concern.
In other words the internet was relatively cheap for people.
