I highly doubt that. I may be wrong, but these places have insane security requirements set by their insurance, especially with cars where a stolen rim could cost $10k. It might be a bigger deal than it sounds like. I’d guess it was a set sales event of some kind, or he was stuck in finance but was far enough along…

If you don’t notice that your going 100MPH in a 55MPH zone, that’s just bad driving. 

So learn to control it. My old car had 325BhP and a rocket full of torque, and I never was going 100MPH in a 55MPH zone and didn’t realize it. This guy wasn’t going 80 in a 55.. He nearly doubled the speed limit on a highway.

I have no sympathy. One of my best friends was driving a week before her high school graduation when a wild dude in a sports car t-boned the SUV she was riding in. She lost her hand from the elbow bc she was riding with it leaning out the window and he pushed over her SUV. It wasn’t just 100mph, it was 100 in a 55.…

Support a builder and buy a hot rod, something hand made and insane. 

Don’t be naive.. He fully gets it, he just doesn’t care. 

IMHO, Microsoft hit the nail on the head. Free,with a small disclaimer saying it’s fan made, and it’s totally cool. Just don’t sell it.

Do you guys think that Mario Maker will make it harder for Nintendo to sell regular 2d Mario games? Whenever I played Mario for Switch, I just kept thinking “I payed $60 for 40 levels when Nintendo has the ability to easily make hundreds of levels without extra coding, and empower fans to make thousands more.”. 

You realize that doesn’t make any sense. People go to the movies they want to see. If fans choose to see a rerelease with some stupid crap at the end, it’s because they wanted to. Endgame’s rerelease is already booked Friday here, and all the middles are gone on Saturday. Ego driven or not, it’s what people wanted.

I feel the line is clear, monetization. If you are selling fan fic, there is an argument to be made that you are profiting off someone else’s base work, and reducing their income as some people might buy the new work over rereading the original. If it’s free, then it should be allowed. 

Lol awesome.

The Renton factory is so weird.. On one hand, it has absurdly tight security. BUT, it’s also on a municipal airport so you have new airliners waiting on the tarmac for some dentist’s Cessna to take off.

Stasis was super important for me. Especially when you could freeze an object, beat it to hell, then unfreeze it and watch it go flying.. I used that a ton to move stuff,

Agreed. For decades my dad made jokes about how his old Jaguar used to fall apart when the wind blew too hard, and he found a leftover stapler between body panels and people just laughed and said “it’s soo pretty!”. 

I think the issue is sales. If it’s released for free, it should be left on its own. If it’s sold, then that’s another issue. Just to remind people, sometimes this seriously hurts creators. Even at big studios, many people at all levels have bonuses that rely on how a project sells. Yes, the fan made games are a…

I know everyone will hate me for saying this, but I think the sheer decibel level of a Harley is something younger generations aren’t into. I’m not saying it’s the only or biggest reason, but I do believe there is a market for a Harley styled (especially vintage) bike that is as loud as a normal car.

You may be correct. I would argue my point if it were any developer other than Valve, but I find I really have ZERO understanding when it comes to decisions they make.

I don’t agree. Mods and small stuff is one thing, but if they think it will reach a large audience, they will crush it. Allowing violations, however small, really does make it harder to enforce your trademark, even from simple piracy. Also, there are a bunch of issues with devaluing your own IP. If someone is feeling…

Every single one of these big fan projects ends the same way.

Sometimes the issues aren’t about viewership or quality. For example, Brooklyn 99 was canceled over an issue of licensing production. Fox didn’t own or make the show, they bought seasons for airing, and so they didn’t benefit as much as they would have for a show they owned, even if it had a smaller audience. I don’t…
