Clooney has a done a ton of Nepresso commercials in America. Snoop also does a bunch in America at this point, for Bic Lighters, Burger King, chips and Corona beer.

You’re wrong. He bitched about it in December. It was there in December. He’s just mad as shit that the affordable housing part was zoned right next to his property line.

Look at the proposed map and you can see Dave’s issue. The new development is right up against his property. Not only that, the proposed low income part of it, is right up against his property. He’s “not going to explain himself”, since he already threatened to pull $64m in investment out of the town if he doesn’t get…

Dave is mad, if you look at other articles because the new housing area, namely the proposed low income section, is right up against the edge of his property. He doesn’t care how bad this makes him look, he doesn’t want it near his house. It’s classic NIMBY.

The $300k houses are the non-affordable part they’re building, not the affording housing part.

Get the fuck out of here with this lie. Even in December:
“As part of the PUD, the development will include single-family homes, two- and three-bedroom duplexes, and 1.75 acres for affordable housing, which, according Zoning Administrator Denise Swinger, could hold up to 28 rental units.”
Affordable housing has been…

“But why doesn’t stuff otherwise just go into the public domain when the creator dies?”
Because either the creator made it for a company, and therefore it belongs to them, and those rarely die. Or so the family of the creator can at least profit/decide what to do with the creation.
That’s what’s supposed to happen…

In Ohio the current AVERAGE cost is $194,000. So no, $300k is not affordable.

Most countries have treaties that say “You acknowledge our copyrights and trademarks, and we’ll acknowledge yours.” Most countries in the world have these treaties with each other, the only real outliers are China (duh) and Russia, and whoever is hosting Pirate Bay this week.

“What anime companies want here is absolute control on the way their IP is shown, so any “review” you might see is one approved and paid for by Toei (if at all, they seem like a company that promises “exposure”), telling you exactly what they want to tell you, and have no other point of comparison.”
Sorta? I’ve…

Nintendo lumps them for reporting. Just like they normally lump both versions of the Pokemon games despite being two (or more) different SKUs. Minecraft has sold about 238m copies across all platforms. By June of 2016, they’d already sold 107m copies, and the Switch version didn’t even exist yet. VGCharts puts the…

It’s Red/Blue first. Then Skyrim, then Diablo 3 for single player RPGs. Sword/Shield sits at 23.9m, Red/Blue is 32.55. Sword/Shield comes in at #5. Gold/Silver at 6. Diamond/Pearl at 8. And X/Y at 10.
Over half the single player RPG best selling list is Pokemon. (for reference the only three games I didn’t make that…

That’s a more recent shift though. For the first year or so, the switch had an impossible attachment rate because people would buy games before they could find the system, making the attachment rate go off the charts for a while.

Minecraft isn’t even close to making it. Nintendo does report those numbers off to the side from time to time. Minecraft has sold 2.81m copies on the switch. In the grand scheme of things, that is where it stands on the list that includes 3rd party sales, it’s #30 (It’s numbers were last reported in Dec 2020). That…

NAw, they buy companies when they feel its a good fit. They bought Level One games at the beginning of 2020 and no one batted an eye.

The switch can’t natively run RE Village because the system doesn’t have the specs for it, not because it can’t run the engine. Almost every engine out there, including the bigger ones like UE4/5, Unity and the Cryengine all work on the switch. Anyone they bought, if told they had to make games exclusive to Nintendo’s…

The majority of the “treasury shares” are owned by Nintendo itself and a single other person, assumed to be a company set up by Hiroshi for the family (Nintendo isn’t required to disclose who owns them). Looking at the rest of the stock, 50% is owned by foreign investors, and 50% is owned by Japanese based people,…

Challenge of grabbing either of those companies is they’re public traded on the Japanese stock market. So to get them, you have to get the majority of the shareholders to agree to sell (which is actually why Act/Blizz happened, the board of directors had a majority and agreed to sell the company.)
With Capcom, that’s a…

Exactly. A bunch of QA formed a union in Washington a few year back. Microsoft encouraged it even...then stopped using the temp agency that was supplying the unionized QA workers as soon as it finished forming. They really don’t care.

Not only that, Nintendo is listed on the Japanese stock market and most of it’s controlling shares are owned by Nintendo itself, followed by major Japanese banks. Just getting enough stock to even begin the hostile takeover would be a challenge.
