Is it free free or just another “free trial” like your Mario Rabbids bait and switch last week?

It doesn’t hurt to ask

You seem to be conflating the idea of the monkey pictures with the ideas of NFTs in general as property. The monkey pictures are indeed just links to pictures and you are right that the owner of the token possesses nothing, because the token itself grants nothing. Because possession of the token confers no ownership…

King’s Field games are best played on an n64 controller.  Matches perfectly to the controls.

Taking a play right out of the casino’s book.  What a surprise from a company who’s entire business model is based on fleecing people with addiction and gambling problems.

There is no link to any document. An NFT in this case is not a link, but is instead like a coin (or a token, or even a non-fungible token) that is minted to represent shares of the card. That coin is then cut into a thousand fractions and each of those fractions becomes it’s own NFT. These tokens can then be directly…

It doesn’t matter how hard you try, sticking your fingers in your ears and yelling very loudly isn’t going to make them go away. People are legally able to sell ownership shares of a physical item, with or without the NFT tokens. What specifically do you think makes it impossible? Do you think people can’t sell shares…

You are making a lot of assumptions about these NFTs and seem to be comingling the ideas of an NFT image and an NFT ownership token. In this case the NFT does not link to a server with an image but is instead a token that ostensibly represents a percentage share of ownership of the physical Pokemon card. Whether the…

Nintendo has claimed that gameplay is copyrightable. I don’t know of any court case which has agreed with them. Feel free to show me one.

I disagree. There might be a claim for contributory infringement or vicarious liability, but I think it is a stretch. Remember, the argument is that the mod author has not produced any infringing material and is not distributing any infringing material. It is entirely his own work.

As far as I know, it is not accepted that gameplay is copyrightable. It is software that is copyrightable, as in the source code, binaries and assets. The reason gameplay is not copyrightable is because the game changes all the time in response to the player’s input. But what I know about that is from a few years back…

Even if that were true, it would be the user violating the copyright, not the mod author.

He didn’t license the game for his mods.

I won’t. GTA 5 was just okay and RDR 2 was the worst horse simulator I ever played. I don’t have any expectation that GTA 6 will be worth my time.  

He’s providing a service, with their game, for money.

This is abuse of the DMCA system. Hopefully this modder stands up for it and insists that they point out what they believe is actually copyrighted. It doesn’t sound like anything this modder has produced actually includes any copyrighted content. This really comes down to Patreon’s policies and whether they are…

Well if these stars mean anything at all, at least we know literally no one agrees with you... you have made one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever seen, and no way in hell would I waste my time reading your stupid long-form essay above on why “Mario Kingdom Battle is free on switch right now” technically means whatever…

Remember that when your joycons inevitably drift, Nintendo does NOT guarantee your replacements will be the same color.

The article literally says the cyclist declined to press charges and all they could charge was reckless driving with the state as the victim.
