If you don’t you get No Man’s Sky’s “WHERE’S THE GIANT SNAKES” *all the time*. Sometimes things don’t make it in a final game, but you can bet your ass there’ll be tons of people complaining about that when normally they wouldn’t have given a shit, just because they got to see the process and then pretend like they…

I would wish it on him. He’s done a lot of harm, unrepentantly. I wish anything on him that removes him from a position of power, and this is one of the more peaceful ways to go about that all things considered.

That would be *hilarious* but really unlikely. Blizzard’s a highly competent shop, and competent shops make backups.

Yeah at this point I assume it’s just a matter of policy and practice. These things are easier to manage if you never make exceptions.

I’m so glad someone else wrote this up :D

There’s definitely arguments for why someone might suffer from the result of the code’s release, but I’m *so* glad to see someone actually critically engaging with morality here instead of just assuming following the law is the definition of morality.

Why isn’t it his? Legally it’s not, sure, but law =/= morality. Curious what your justification is for why it’s morally wrong for him to keep or sell it.

I would like to hear the moral argument about why this was the correct choice

when you say “rightfully” you mean “legally” right? and not morally right, right? Because if the latter I really want to hear your argument for that.

You’ve been playing too many games :D

But I can’t judge, I’ve been all my dreams lately have been set in Persona 5...

aside from referencing a historical event that was much, much worse than anything that has happened to this man, you both simultaneously call him selfish while also saying it’s just like a situation where people lost everything and got nothing in return. What?

I’ve been severely depressed and I’ve never stalked anyone. Same goes for a lot of people.

Depression isn’t a condition that this kind of behavior results from. It may contribute to it, but it’s not the causative factor.

I couldn’t figure out the name of that then I found this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bras_d%27honneur

There’s still plenty of opportunity for misinformation — those Trump supporters who would negatively be affected by this don’t hear about it until it’s too late, because the news outlets they trust don’t report accurately on it. Or after that, the politicians will come up with excuses why it’s all the liberals’ fault…

From the article, I gathered that that quote was from an independent analyst, not someone from Nintendo.

Boat is probably riskier. Not a high risk, but boat-based piracy does still happen sometimes I guess.

Honestly, I thought it was a better set of reactions than previous WHCDs, especially considering the subject matter. I have *never* seen Wolf Blitzer change his stone-cold-bitch-face in previous ones but he actually had a bit of a more generous, relaxed face on at the end of Minhaj’s CNN bit.

Why do people think it’s a good idea to say “welp, that’s the law, that’s what happens.” As if there aren’t unjust laws and people shouldn’t be outraged about them? I don’t get this stance at all.

“he deserved what he got...” but he didn’t? huh?

I 100% agree with your Mario Kart opinions. I was hoping for a Pipe... Land? stage in this re-release, the one from Double Dash with all the pipes, that one was my fave...

oh my god you just reminded me how much I used to love Sonic R

I tried to play it with an emulator a while back... it performed even worse than it did on my childhood PC, which is really saying something
