What advantage does a player gain by using an emulator instead of original cabinet hardware? Does the player still need to perform all of the same exact actions that one would need to perform using conventional hardware?

No, what’s ridiculous is claiming a game’s ludonarrative dissonance bothered you so much and made you feel so uncomfortable that you felt you had to stop playing it.
Why? If you think the way a game tells its store (or fails to do so) makes the game less interesting, why is that not a valid reason to stop playing it?
Username certainly doesn’t check out in this case.
Depends on the game. I really really wanted a cyberpunk game so my group decided to try and start Shadowrun. We didn’t even finish making our damn characters. One of my friends had to create a spreadsheet to keep track of stuff. It was just so damn complex. This was their 5th edition I think (the one before this most…
If you don’t wear a seatbelt, it is not just you you affect. Seeing your mangled remains wrecks the mental health of witness, road crews, first responders, and a lot of other folks in and around the various industries who have to deal with car wrecks and keeping roads clear. It wrecks your family, not just mentally,…
A smartphone flashlight is only suitable for situations where the power goes out suddenly and you need to find yourself a PROPER flashlight. A smarphone’s flashlight mode travels only a few feet ahead and will rapidly drain the battery. A dedicated flashlight is vastly superior - even a cheap one you buy for $10 will…
Along those lines, I saw the 2017 Jumanji movie the other night. In it, one of the characters is from 1996 and he keeps hearing the modern day characters talk about needing their phones to do things and he’s like, “does phone mean something different in the future?”
A real flashlight is going to be considerably brighter, have more range, and last much longer than your phone light.
They’re not being allowed back because they breached a contract by violating the terms of service. The court ruling over links to outside payment doesn’t retroactively change that. I’m pretty sure that I’ve pointed out to you before that their store is a private business and that the government can’t force them to…
Yep. Epic’s choice to kick off the legal argument by deliberately violating the developer agreement was very short-sighted. Apple’s entirely within their rights to say they won’t allow a dev that willfully breeched their terms back on the App Store, and so Epic’s cut of iOS Fortnite sales goes from 70% of millions to…
“The reason it’s a win for Epic is that they now have a way to let Epic keep that 30% (or less) of purchases in Fortnite that Apple would have otherwise received.”
I’m sorry, but how is this a win for Epic? Sure Apple can’t force users to use their app store for purchases, but Epic won’t be able to benefit from that because they’re still off the platform.
Not at all. Kotaku fucked up the headline badly. Even Tim Sweeny tweeted that this isn’t a win for them (And that’s in the article and Kotaku still didn’t understand they screwed up the headline).
Exactly. Epic did not win this lawsuit.
No, there was more to it. Epic wanted to put its own store on iOS and the judge said no. That’s the biggest deal in this whole case, Apple doesn’t have to open itself to other app stores, just other payment methods. That’s huge.
more like a quarter win because the only thing the judge ruled was that apple couldn’t block 3rd part payments, Epic lost everything else and Apple can still keep them or anyone else they want out of their App Store/devices if they want.
You have to add the rest of the ruling though, Epic won’t be able to make use of any of the payment ruling so far because Apple doesn’t have to let fortnite back on the App Store and they don’t have to give Epic back their developer account.
You didn’t mention that Apple won every single other count besides this one.
