A good government composed of multitude of people should be able to walk and chez bubblegum at the same time.

To be fair, most laws should follow this logic: they are not telling people who don’t like it to swallow it, what it does is tell that the baseline is thus for everybody from here on.

As a programmer, I’ll tell you right off that it is a BAD IDEA to rely on a OS kill-switch for everything and expect that every application handles it perfectly in all cases.

If they don’t include cameos of the Grim Dawn universe I’ll be greatly disapointed!

First paragraph and trailer mention “on steam”.

I think the criticism is not the worldbuilding itself or the amount of data being fed, but HOW it is delivered. As such, the critism is the not the story, but the storytelling.

Writ large, it’s the “common ennemy” tactic: focus on an external threat to force/achieve cohesion inside a group.

That’s not what they did: we are talking about a PC port. Complete and in working order.

Wrong: recreating software code is not blanket protected:

Even then, it’s safe: he used bulk resellers to build it.

I remember the CD that came with the Killer Instinct SNES package. That thing is a collector treasure now.

It right there in the credits of nearly any game: “the totality of the code, music, assests and IP are the sole property of Nintendo”, or something similar.

There is also the problem of the assests, which are being re-used as-is. And assests are also part of this, and can be separately used in a copyright strike.

Another take: since the guy is French Canadian (he lives in Laval, near Montréal, if I remember correctly), you can use the french pronunciation, and a pun emerges:

Ho yes, it was by design (not the original one, mind you): it was amended about 25 times if memory serves, and not once was it modified to prevent political gridlocks; it always requires supermajorities to modify it, because it would require either of the actual two parties to accept to let go of de-facto veto power…

Come to think of it, with the exetremely slow release schedule, going game by game would make more sense than having a one-size-fit-all emulator approach.

The American problem with unions as an American problem at it’s root: the American Constitution. An archaïc, out-of-date, woefully inadequate for modern times, ming-boggingly difficult to modify (by design) and revered as divine when appropriate (to give the fig leave of “exeptionality”). The end result is a patchwork…

Among other things, the N64 used cartridges. Cartridges are not just memory to read like a memory stick; they could also perform calculations like a external silicon add-on. One very notorious (non-64) example would be the SuperFX chip in some SNES games, like StarFox, who was literaly one of the first GPU in history,…

Three scenarios (from good to bad):

I’m aware of the Fallacy Fallacy. There is plenty wrong in your argumentation for sophism as a tool on top of being a fallacy in itself.
