It’s not “incorrect”, it’s just an opinion that is currently not shared by jurisprudence. But I would certainly be appealing this case, because not only is my take not “incorrect”; it’s “correct”!

Well, if he’s bringing Alpha over from Dollhouse, then I guess he had no choice but to do what he did to Wash in the movie.

First of all, the design is not in question, the likeness is. My likeness is my own. The tattoo changes that likeness. Any recreation of my likeness would necessitate a recreation of the tattoo. This is not hidden from the tattoo artists, as any rational person understands it to be true. So with no malice from the…

If someone puts a tattoo of mickey mouse on me, then they would need licensing from Disney to do that.

This sucks because as big a fan I am of getting paid for your fucking work, I am an even bigger fan of bodily autonomy and independence. If the ink is inside me, it’s mine. I won’t recreate the design for profit, but I don’t owe you a license fee if I license my image. That’s a bridge too far, for me. At the VERY…

I have very detailed and specific metrics for what constitutes earnest efforts and “betterment”, but I’m not going to tediously list out the entire specification.
It’s, honestly, pretty simple: if it seems like “that’s kind of shitty, but they’re legally allowed to do it”, that’s a point against them. If it seems like…

I don’t care what you think is cowardly.

Sorry, I don’t quite follow.

The article’s fine; just colorful prefacing. Representing the quote, here, was the only point.

Why even write the article if you’re not going to include the one and only message she had:

Among many other publicized things which you are free to educate yourself on, they aggressively enforced manipulative terms against a personal friend of mine. They abused IP law to their advantage and have enough money to prevent restorative justice. And while I have many other third-hand accounts of similar behavior,…

Oh, for sure! I think my preferred set up would be one volume rocker on either side that is touch-sensitive (in case of lefties), and three more buttons, elsewhere, with an additional dedicated power button.

Right? I mean, even if they retained all rights to use any of their IPs on any of their own products and just licensed the IPs out, it would be a breath of fresh air. They would still be shitty for the lopsided profiting, but at least they wouldn’t be actively stifling the original creators making money from their…

I’ve only played parts of 5, but I did not much care for 3 or 4 (hence the limited time with 5). But I’ll agree with you that 2 is the best! What an absolute achievement! I’d rate 1 higher than three, but I do think that’s because of how closely it ties in with 2, so I get not ranking it as high. Gameplay and UX-wise,…

I’m not punishing anything that I consider “good” behavior.

The “too” is incorrect because I don’t desire this behavior from Konami. The only thing I desire from Konami is their unconditional release of their IP to appropriate parties.

I don’t care whether the reasons are “good” or “bad”. When someone is hostile towards me, I will not reward them. When an artist makes something, I will not subject myself to arbitrary limitations in its consumption, just because you want to call it “stealing” (or any other moral evaluation).

I don’t care what lesson Konami takes from my, or anyone else’s actions. I hope they fold and lose all of their IP. Fuck them for hoarding it all, in the first place. Call it entitlement, but I do think that people who create art deserve some ownership of that art. Not just the people who happened to occupy the…

Consumer rights advocacy at it’s...uh... middle-est? Least obvious? Mentally gymnastical?

It’s getting released; there’s your win. I don’t owe you a purchase any more than someone who’s never heard of it would owe you a purchase.
