...since a lot of the time people will buy your product (even after Pirating it) if they like the game and like YOU as a dev.

The only funny thing in this whole scenario is how pirates think this is a personal challenge to them.

Meanwhile, they keep weeding out any and all potential flaws and get to a point where we’ll have to stay logged into a server that checks your copy’s legitimacy every 10 minutes just to play a single-player game.…

I don’t know why they just don’t make good games then people will buy them.

Yeah, lending the game to a friend is the same thing as releasing a cracked game to hundreds of thousands of people for the price of one.

its not an mmo. im assuming the backend is just a db of names and maybe whatever changes you’ve made to the planet, like a hole you dug or something that gets synced across all clients

1:33 - Tried a third time, this time destroying the giant mushroom before launching my thrusters. Ship took off without a problem. Jason 1, Mushrooms 0.

He was charged with being in possession of an air gun, if I recall from the article.

Are you on drugs? That’s a regular ass HDD. Nobody is putting a fucking SSD in a console to sell at retail.

Telltale actually employs over 240 people, they're hardly a "small indie" studio.

Yeah, this is a dead project.

If 500-2000 people were outside your house, across the street at 3 AM, making a racket, and you had to get up to go to work, would you still have the same opinion?

The game is causing legitimate problems and people are disrespecting their public parks with trash and violence. IMO the devs really should work with these people out of good will, ninantic can’t be blamed for people being assholes but they are in a position to work something out

What are you on about? Shadowrun Returns was decent at worst, there wasn’t anything especially good or bad, and HBS even took the criticisms (how mediocre the plot and characters were) and improved them drastically in Dragonfall.

Starring and replying so I can clear up the confusion here. From what I’ve read (after speaking out about this particular issue) the RimWorld devs actually asked the Prison Architect devs (Introversion) if it was okay to crib their art style. Their answer was, “yes.” Thus, you have the art style.

Yeah I read that but it still makes no sense to me.

So she publicly states this guy groped her deliberately multiple times but isn’t going to press charges?

She’s using Pokemon Go as an excuse to bitch about Trump, that’s it. There’s nothing even remotely insightful here regarding politics.

that’s the thing about Kotaku, it lacks professionalism at times

Per Pokemon GO’s download numbers, about 30 million people.

Hey, racist author. Why don’t you mention the recent murder of the “white” person by the police? Oh right. It doesn’t fit your narrative.

Data suggests that you are more likely to be shot, when encountering a police officer, if you are white, than if you are black. It’s just that, unfortunately, minorities are more…
