I know that. I’m saying the law is an ass.

If someone wants to create a guide for a car I made 30 years ago then that’s fine by me.

None of those analogies hold up, have a nice day.

If it was someone creating a reader’s guide for articles from three decades ago then I think most people here would come down in favour of the guide.

Threatening to sue an artist for creating a game guide for a thirty year old video game is the textbook definition of anti-consumer you absolute loon.

Making a game guide literally destroys the developer’s game to such an extent that they can’t ever sell it again, are you serious with this metaphor?

If those creators made their game thirty plus years ago and still think that an illustrated guide is lawsuit material then they can get fucked as well.

It’s been a good run, but I guess we’d better shut down the whole of gamefaqs, then. Unless you’re saying that a few drawings make all the difference, morally?

Like I said. I’m sure that’s how the law works. That isn’t the argument I’m making. I’m saying it’s shitty behaviour and they should be publicly ridiculed for it.

Just want to point out for any right-wingers who showed up just for this one article: Jack’s point about “twenty to forty years” is one of inevitable demographic shifts due to an ageing populace. In a decade or three, every single Western democracy will be bidding on immigrants, because there will be a chronic…

It’s a very easy concept to understand. And I’m objecting to it. It’s dickhead behaviour and deserves to be treated with contempt.

Does this guide in anyway harm Nintendo? No. Probably not. That doesn’t matter though.

Um.

If I was doing business with this man I’d end it immediately. Anyone working with him in any capacity is explicitly saying that they’re cool with enriching him and his terrible, terrible opinions.

You’re not really helping the cause here.

If someone prefers Ready Salted crisps to Salt & Vinegar then I don’t really care about that. If they’re foolhardy enough to out themselves as a supporter of a bill as horrifically unjust as this, they go on the blacklist forever. They knew what they were doing.

Right. I don’t like their viewpoint but I’ll defend their right to it. It’s the blatant, unapologetic hypocrisy that really bothers me.

This really needs more companies to come forward and say that they’re cancelling future contracts or otherwise monetarily hurting this developer. That’s the money that actually speaks in this instance.

If it’s Steam we’re talking about, you have a chance, even if you’re past the two-hour mark. If it’s PSN then you can go get fucked according to Sony, even if you only played a second or two of it.
