And this is hardly the first site that Nintendo has threatened/sued.

Considering that it’s currently impossible to legally obtain the Wii game My Life as a Darklord, I’m not sure how true that statement really is.

Your retirement investment is most likely a collection of indexed and mutual funds. Rarely does a 401k include any amount of direct company stock.

I doubt the patent is that specific. Apple’s patent for “scrolling on a touchscreen” literally obscures the only useful portion, which is the math used to register the direction and strength of a scroll. That pretty much flies in the face of the entire concept of a patent: Anybody reading the patent should be able to…

I still can’t believe you can patent what amounts to “a mathematical formula to simulate XYZ.”

While basically everything mentioned in this article is extremely scummy, the bathroom camera one seems like the work of a rogue actor, and the company took appropriate actions in response.

Years ago, Kotaku made posts about game companies and their scummy CEOs, with Bobby Kotick a popular target. For whatever reason, Kotaku decided to stop that practice. Maybe they thought it was too mean-spirited, or maybe Activision threatened them. Either way, with a complete lack of accountability this was always…

In the mid 1000's, tradesmen were the only form of business in existence. They were considered middle class. If your goal was to make money, you’d join the church or try to make inroads within the monarchy. Business was never supposed to be about profit.

And that money is somehow speech...... Meaning that free speech is limited by your bank account. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So much this. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read “businesses exist to make money” from posters. Like, what? Pretty sure they exist to provide a service to customers.

Wait, when did we decide that proprietary storage was a good thing?

Here’s another interesting test: There are 115m PS4s sold. So, for every 11 people you know with a PS4, does one of them have a PS5?

He is technically neither. The entire case was thrown out, meaning Cosby was neither convicted nor acquitted.

There very much is a difference legally. For example, a No Contest plea represents “technically guilty” but not “actually guilty” and therefore has different liability. 

I Don’t Know

The sad part is that Mario Run apparently didn’t sell well, which caused Nintendo to abandon the pay-once route for basically all their mobile games.

If you’re in charge and something happens repeatedly, you’re complicit in a coverup.

Yeah, I have a strong feeling Facebook misinterpreted “irritation” in this case. They thought it meant an allergic reaction, which was very low. When in reality it was a skin rash from rubbing, which turned out to be far more common.

Um, it’s really not that bad, and certainly no worse than a token/counter heavy deck would already be.
