To me, when you say “cartridge”, I think “full blown PCB that can have added chips doing stuff”, like NES/SNES/N64 games. Since the Switch (and (3)DS) games are just storage, calling them “cards” akin to MicroSD cards makes more sense to me.

But advertisers didn’t pay for that TV spot regardless. They pay based on the ratings, which use a sample population and statistics to estimate how many people were watching at the time. Ads on websites work the exact same way, except they have actual population numbers instead of estimated ones.

Yes, LucasFilm (thus Disney) was likely making money off of those rereleases. But that doesn’t mean they had any active participation, beyond cashing the check; the releases would have been covered by their pre-buyout agreement.

No, the repackagings don’t mean anything. Fox still holds the video rights for everything through 2020 (except A New Hope which they hold indefinitely); Disney doesn’t get a say.

Other PlayStation trophy stats indicate that two-thirds of players haven’t even completed one of the game’s papyrus puzzles, one of the most basic and abundant sidequest offerings in the game.

Unionization won’t protect against a company going bankrupt.

The end of the Disney deal was only announced a week ago. I think taking a week to try to find alternative funding and contracts before shutting down isn’t unreasonable.

No, 98 years ago is not “modern day”. (Anything more than fifty years is definitely not modern day; I’d consider setting the bar even lower, maybe twenty years.)

Technology didn’t make the writing worse on that project - poor project management did. The need to come up to speed with a new engine should have been budgeted for.

“Going okay”? It wasn’t available to preorder from online retailers, and they’re all out of stock now. It’s just as much a shitshow as the NES Classic was.

Submitted a DMCA takedown notice requires affirming that your request is valid “under penalty of perjury”.

Fine - then complain to Google, get them to ban him. Don’t commit perjury by lying about DMCA violations he didn’t commit.

How does a minor have no buying power? People between 13 and 18 can walk into their local grocery store or Target and buy a Steam gift card with cash, then use it to make Steam purchases. All completely aboveboard.

MC (Microsoft’s Computer, because it’s sure not mine when using the Store).

Personally, I’m waiting for my Xbox One X before I dip my toes back in.

To the extent that “Windows Store” can be considered PC.

Wii, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One (at least initially - not sure if the non-proprietary headphone jack was an addition or replacement?), and PS4 controllers all have them too.

I can imagine someone who started with Mass Effect 2 or 3 hating it. It really seems aimed at fans of the original game.

Do want.
