It’s from Jonathon Nolan and while many people will point to his work on Westworld, I point to his best work IMO; Person Of Interest (of which Micheal Emerson was obviously a main character).

I am mainly wary of two things:

I was already excited to see this, but then I saw Michael Emerson in the trailer and now I’m doubly excited.

Idk if Bethesda is competent enough to release something on the scale of Phantom Liberty. Or, rather I don’t know if the ancient Gamebryo Engine would be capable of supporting something like that.

Hell, I think Skyrim has more daily players than Starfield RIGHT NOW.

He’s setting himself up for disappointment if he’s expecting Starfield to be the next Skyrim. He’ll be lucky if it’s the next Fallout 4.

They own the government, so of course it’s not going to get addressed practically.

It’s Sony’s store and any time a game got pulled because of a publisher or a license issue people who previously bought those gsmes are still able to re-download them. So even though Discovery is also at fault it’s on Sony for not keeping the files available on their servers or giving refunds.

As always, there’s an xkcd for everything.

Congress out here having hearings on AI that isn't remotely ready for prime time, meanwhile corporations out here straight stealing from people.

Torrenting can't be stealing if paying for it isn't owning.

Contracts don't make them immune to legal action. It just makes things more complicated 

The myth of digital media is that it can last forever, pristine and undisturbed.

I bet they will be. Its a classic class action suit and I don’t see how you couldn’t win.

Yeah, the mass digitization of media gives corporations a lot more control of things you believe you owned. This is just a small example of anti-consumerism.

They really should be taken to court for this. Licenses expiring is a common thing in digital distribution. The solution is to pull the licensed content from the store, not user libraries. That’s been the standard practice for games, I don’t see why it should be any different for movies or TV shows.

No

This reeks of the “three steps backwards, two steps forward” strategy:
1- Implement a feature that you know will cause backlash among target demographic of buyers.
2- Let the backlash explodes.
3- Offer a “solution” that rollbacks parts of the “problem”, while looking humbled doing so.
4- Let time pass so that people…

He didn’t say they were lying about the incident *being* an error. He is asking for more clarification on the *nature* of the error. Probably something like: Was this a new feature being tested that got leaked? How did it come about that timely, live advertisements are tied to in-game button presses? What about…

Why are they called Steamed Decks when they are obviously grilled?
