Hey, it’s Bloomberg Reports!

I remember playing the game and feeling that it was just being hampered by the Wii hardware, that there was a decent if unexceptional platformer inside that would’ve benefited from tighter controls and better performance.

and Kenshing went well because they have always been making samurai movies since forever, it wasn’t a worldbuilding created from nothing like other IPs demand

I dont think it can be understated how much of dissapointment Epic Mickey 2 was.

Not only did they mostly tone down the dark-ish tone of the original, they replace the voiceless cutscenes with voiced musical numbers and didnt fix any of the original game’s gameplay issues.

Well Jason, congrats on the new book. Can’t say I’m thrilled about the fact that this is an advertisement for your book masquerading as an article. I say that because of the cliffhanger ending. If this were meant to be informative, I’m guessing the excerpt wouldn’t have ended where it did.

Well look who’s back

“And they let me make the game I wanted to make.”

According to the art book that came with the collector’s edition, her monster form was originally intended to be a completely different boss. It was then repurposed for her.

In fact, it won’t ever give them copyright over your code, because copyright protects artistic expression fixed in a tangible medium. Reverse engineered code is(assuming it is as alleged, wholly reverse engineered) completely free of any copying. The burden is on Take Two in this instance to prove that some portion of…

Obviously, it’s very inelegant to move furniture in front of your guest.

Except that in this case you would create the cover and pages for LotR but those pages are completely blank so you have to copy the entire original book word for word into the new, better book.

Writing code that produces the same output as a company’s copyrighted code does not automatically give that company copyright over your code as well.

Copyrights are not uniform in how they’re applied between works of art vs technical mechanisms.

I mean it always needs to be said: companies are not your friends, do not have your best interests at heart, and don’t, under any circumstances, need you standing up for them.

That’s what they pay lawyers and PR people for.

Did you read the article?
Reverse engineered code is not piracy. Also, to be able to play GTA with this code you still need the original game.
Reporting on developers making unlawful DMCA claims is certainly important, which is what this is really about.

I feel like this whole trial is like that time I tried to teach my grandparents how to send an email, except there’s someone else there too trying to get my grandparents to swear off email forever.

The anti-sexuality of today’s America is actually quite scary to see. Disregarding that they’re bringing itch.io up here for no reason and being stupid which is honestly a quite shameful display, what the hell does it matter if an adult chooses to buy and/or download adult content? What’s next, Pornhub not being…

I’m so glad we have Apple to police morals for us. We can’t have consenting adults accessing adult content! Somebody think of the children!

How the fuck is any of this shit Apple is bringing up relevant to the case?

Look at the image I used up top compared to this, from June 2020:
