The EU is essentially a proto-USA. For “EU member nation” read “US state” and you see the correlation.

Great for them here's hoping we can get legislation like this in Canada soon so we don't pay artificially inflated prices on digital goods. Granted we would still be at the mercy of the dollar conversion but often it is still a better deal. I get that physical commodities have an added cost when going across the…

Oh $9.5 million huh? I guess their CEOs are shaking in their boots, knowing that they are going to have to reroute 5% of their annual travel and meal budget to pay these fines.

Seriously. By FGC standards this is literally nothing. It’s the mildest joke I’ve seen. I’m wondering if there’s something else he did, that no one is privy to, because if not then NRS has the thinnest skin of any dev.

Weak.
Fighting game players have a long history of calling out “cheapness” and exploiting cheap tactics while griping at the developers. It’s a semi-rowdy heckling thing that gives the scene texture and makes it feel less like sponsored corporate nonsense.

If NRS can’t take a little legitimate ribbing then they need to…

What’s with the random authoritarianism? No need for any specific punishment as such, why should the guy forfeit a round when nobody was insulted, threatened or otherwise harmed?

*me after squinting at the name for several minutes*

Rules are rules? As mentioned in the article, the rules is “I can disqualify whoever I want for any reason”. That’s not a justification.

Or how about just no penalty and have him change the name?

NetherRealm being tone deaf towards the community and petty?

Streisand effect in full force.

Classic private company making a situation a bigger deal by getting salty about it. Just tell him to change it and it’s literally never discussed. Now it’s A Thing. Solid work!

Bleh.....sort of resigned to the fact that Windows is adopting command line elitism while dumbing the gui down.

Windows updated “new features”:

I'm 5'4" and would love to do more 37 work

Does anyone else ever see a machine and be like "damn, I wanna work on that thing"? I'd love to see what makes that crusty piece of shit tick. Be a nice change of pace from the A320's I'm used to.
