So SEGA and Konami (the corporation) knew about it. Let’s assume that. Are there records or interviews (from studios, individual developers, games historians, etc.) from that time on record saying they played and enjoyed it?

Simultaneous/independent invention in a highly experimental and novel industry is way more likely to me, but if you can produce some sort of proof of influence on studios that explicitly iterated on what 005 did, then that’s much more convincing than a Guinness World Record that only “proves” they were first (historically, they did barely any fact-checking and, in some cases, you could bribe them).

It also hurts the credibility of the article for it to say “people liked it,” and then not link to any sources like reviews or sales numbers. How can I know that anyone liked it unless I do independent verification of these claims? It’s striving to be informative but with a “trust me bro” type of approach.

FediOnFire was a simple, public-facing project designed to showcase a firehose of public statuses across the network.

For… showing public comments on a live feed? How nefarious. /s
