Well, the point is that the contract defines a methodology of payment. If you’re extremely dodgy (which few are since you can spot that trouble from a long ways off), you can get around that by paying developers in some unorthodox ways. If the developer is primarily paid in bonuses, for example, then it was never…

They’ll be paid what they are owed by whoever holds the debt in the future, it’s in the employee’s contract that they have to be paid. The question is when and how long will it take to pay it out fully.

They work hard, so more people pay

To be fair, with such a gigantic project that was clearly a secret to most of the galaxy, there is almost no way that there was just one gigantic set of plans laying around anywhere they could be stolen for security and compartmentalization reasons.

It depends on the type of bankruptcy laws that exist in the country where they are and which ones they use. In the US, the primary way to go is either Chapter 11 or Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In Chapter 11, your company is forced to undergo significant restructuring, but you’re able to retain near complete control of your…

It isn’t. It’s on the record that VR is an optional feature in the game.

Just here for the Ace Combat 7.

Absolutely right. Fabulous take on the genre.

Typically systems like that can be very embedded into the game’s engine, and sometimes the game has a dependency on certain features that the service provided (e.g. user information, settings, etc). Combine that with the likelihood that all of the original developers have either moved on, completely forgot about how…

Now that’s how we do it.

The only thing worse than 90s CGI is this video’s editing.

So will Ubisoft’s response come in the form of an email that a fake Ubisoft spokesperson put in the trash that you can hack to get in a Watch Dogs 2 patch?

I think you have to define what you mean by “could have done it” then. I don’t think the will or military projection existed to actually do it, and this was compounded by the fact that Canada had no interest in helping the American campaign.

That is very unlikely. Initial attacks were resounding failures, and Canada was in no way interested in America’s “liberation” campaign. The relatively small America at the time would have had to occupy the entirety of Canada since popular support was against it. America was poised to lose in the short term and the…

Well, actually, 8% would have.

Haven’t really seen any indication that he’s a chosen Jesus yet. Given everything we’ve seen so far, it seems more likely that the expedition is in serious trouble when the game first starts, and he gets promoted to be captain of lead scouting party. Coincidentally, the lead scouting party will likely have the most…

I believe we can fully expect most citadel species to be in the game. If someone is sending an expedition to another galaxy, you’d better believe that nearly every species lobbied to get at least a small team on board to go.

The publisher’s twitter says “Those other guys made a terrible product. Ours is better.” The developer’s twitter says “No, we respect those guys’ product. No reason to get down in the mud.”
