Still got it wrong, should be minutes, maybe even seconds.

Also depends on how narrow you look. Astral Chain is getting review bombed on meta because of people mad it’s a Nintendo exclusive. Ooblets was just two weeks ago. They wrote this article because they spoke to Steam at an even over PAX weekend, which just ended Monday.

Thing is, the number of developers that announced it to another platform then switched is VERY small. Metro, Shunmue.

And clearly you had no horse in the race, or you’d known that Ooblets was a pateron thing that had no level in which the supporters were promised a copy of the game and at no time they did they say what storefront they were going to be on.
Is EGS really the shittest on the market though? So it doesn’t have things you…

2% is high. I think the average % of users that care about achievements anymore on the systems that offer them, was pegged at around .01% of all users. Since the switch doesn’t normally offer them, I’d suspect the % is even lower.

A good portion of what Pitchford has "done" is rumors and wild accusations. Even if half are true, not buying the game if you were going to hurts the employees of gearbox that have spent years working on this game all because of the actions of their CEO, which have been quite mild compared to other CEOs honestly. 

They also never said the rest aren’t even coming, they just aren’t coming to Sword/Shield. Others could pop up in future games.

See, there’s the problem, it’s not a “benefit” to the consumer, rather, it’s not a “benefit” to the consumers in general, not in the long run. It benefits a single consumer when they buy it, that’s it.
All secondhand keys on a site like that are either: stolen, hacked, promos, or bought when on an extreme sale (like a…

If you look at the history of Nintendo v fan games, its rarely a copyright infringement and more often a Trademark infringement, which is different than copyright infringement (though I believe Pokemon Uranium ran up against both, as its a trademark violation to use the term “Pokemon” and a copyright violation when…

Hearing about this yes, he’s talking the wave of reviews that rolled out today because they let a lot of the various media play and report on the game. Of those articles, this is the only one bringing up the Pitchford or Hardwick parts.

2K Australia, who did such a bad job (and ignored several dictates from Gearbox) they got shut down. Gearbox only did the story and voices on it.

Again, he could claim it wasn’t him on the phone and get out of it that way. The PI works much in the same way as sending someone to deliver a court summons; yeah you can mail it, but they can claim they never got it.
The timeline seems a bit fishy. Matteo claims they talked to him, then gave him the strikes on…

I don’t see it as unnecessary in this day and age, I see it as almost a requirement. As a business you have to do a certain amount of fact gathering to sue, and more if you want criminal charges. Unless you can say, we talked to this person, face to face, and this is what they told us, the person is going to lie to…

Both Twitch and Take 2 deny that it was ever set to public, but an exploit was used to cause it to switch.

According to both Twitch and Take 2, the Twitch streams that he accessed using the information from the public videos were set to private, meaning any information gotten from there would be a violation and required questionable methods. When you become a Streamer, and he was, you sign an agreement with Twitch to not…

Unofficially, yes. A lot hinges on who really owns the data in question. In that case, the only reason Gawker lost was since Hogan didn’t know he was being filmed, he never gave up ownership of the video and therefore it couldn’t be published without his permission unless it was of great public interest or for the…

Let’s break down your stances then, shall we?

No. GB/TT weren’t required to know about it, only that Twitch said it was secure. Supposedly this exploit was discovered via data mining and shared on Reddit. So unless Twitch knew exactly where to look on Reddit, they likely didn’t know about it either. No idea long how long its been around, and its possible no one…

But your hypothetical changes the case. “from a link at Disney they didn’t realize”. The law only protects Disney if they take all reasonable precautions to keep the information secret. Since they made the mistake, it’s on them. This guy admits to using an exploit to access things he wasn’t supposed to be able to…
