Right to Repair would be hardware. The idea doesn’t really make sense for hardware, as there’s nothing to break open to repair.

Incorrect. Copyright does not disappear if not “defended.” Copyright is automatic. You’re thinking of a trademark.

No, it’s DMCA and its ilk, which state it’s illegal to circumvent DRM to modify software. It’s a loophole corporations figured out to prevent people from doing legal things.

That would make sense, except the world is filled counter examples to your claim. Can I enter a race with an “unofficial” modification of a car? Yep, sure can! How about enter a golf tournament with an unofficial set of modified Nike clubs? Have at it! Create an event exclusively featuring custom Rock ’Em Sock ’Em…

In case you didn’t need anymore proof that software copyright is completely busted!

Yeah, the difference between the US is pretty amazing. In Japan, your local 7-11 has Gundam model kits on its shelves.

It’s currently called Ambrosia, but because of a naming conflict we’re likely renaming it Clockwork Ambrosia.

To say that nobody but Nintendo should ever be allowed to make Metroid games is tantamount to saying you believe other people would be better at creating Metroid than Nintendo, therefore Nintendo should have a stranglehold on the property so that they can make inferior games and still maximize profit. If Nintendo is…

Actually, that reminds me of our game a bit. One of the premises is the island is composed of rogue machines, but also native creatures. Our level designer worked very hard to make sure the game can be completed without killing any of the local fauna (or at least minimize it). And he’s trying to convince me to add an…

Let me ask you this: Which version of copyright’s side are you on? Is it the 14-28 year-long version like the founding fathers gave us? Or is it the your-great-grandchildren-will-profit-off-your-work-without-ever-lifting-a-finger version that corporate lobbyists gave us?

Saints Row got sillier over time, and this means that the “perfect” version of Saints Row is entirely based on your own personal preferred level of absurdity. Assuming that Volition intends to follow their previous playback of getting sillier with each iteration, it makes the most sense to hit reset at the lowest…

When reached for comment, a spokesperson from Wata said the following:

I’m always torn by this kind of look. I like stylized realism, but watching/playing it too long can sometimes make me nauseous. It’s literally sickeningly cute!

This kind of thing happens a lot. I used to make a list of holiday games just to keep track of it all. Sometimes it’s November that’s overflowing with games, and sometimes it’s February.

Man, I couldn’t disagree more. Coming into Death Stranding I was hoping for another crazy reward-fest like Metal Gear Solid V; that game kept giving you more ridiculous tools you didn’t need but sure did love. The original version of DS therefore felt a bit lacking in my mind. The game needed more delivery tools,…

This is, as far as I’m aware, the first Marvel tactics game ever. It could have no story period for all I care.

I am very glad this game features X-Men! Was a bit worried after the last Marvel vs Capcom.

The biggest problem with a “both sides” argument is that it incorrectly implies the scales are equal. Can you find Democratic politicians willing to lie in bed with corporations? Yes. But they’re about as easy to find as a Republican politician who isn’t.

The fact that as long as someone else does the act, a company can legally shift the blame is ridiculous.
