multi-user

games

...

directly

...

inside

the

system's

...

main

...

teleconference.

...

This

...

was

...

important,

...

because

other

third-party

...

developers

...

had

...

created

...

multi-user

...

games

...

that

...

allowed

...

users

...

to

...

chat

...

while

...

playing

...

(or

...

watching),

...

but

...

it

...

scattered

...

users

...

around

...

the

...

system.

...

This

...

innovation

...

by

...

Moonshae

...

Telecomm

...

allowed

...

the

...

users

...

to

...

be

...

in

...

the

...

regular

...

teleconference

...

and

...

play

...

the

games

...

-

...

users

not

playing

would

not

be

burdened

with

sold

to

to

become

the

Edition

...

's

...

teleconference.

...

These

...

games

...

were

...

released

...

under

the

Galactic

name,

and

were

incorporated

into
