You can't have an unwritten contract when one of the parties hasn't agreed to the terms. There's no such thing as an "unwritten NDA" in this case - if the guy got his hands on an Xbox One legally, he's not doing anything wrong in telling people about it.

Or they could be reacting to complaints from parents...

Occam's razor.

I'm a nerd/geek/whatever, and some of my favourite people are women! (much to my wife's chagrin...)

They're showing a TON of AI improvements, especially double-team blocking by the offensive line. There's a reason why this video focuses on the trenches - it's because it's one of the biggest areas that needed improvement over the series.

It's difficult to do halftime shows with highlights when they have the online franchise mode where people can complete other games that week at different times. It would be nice for the solo franchises, and I do miss it from the Genesis Madden games and from the 2K series, but it's not a dealbreaker.

Madden NFL 25 is…

I think what he meant was that the PS3+Vita copy would be priced just slightly higher than the PS3 price or the Vita price. Not that he wants both for a price that's slightly more than the cost of the separate copies COMBINED.

If I wasn't already married, you sound like my kind of person!

When I was at Eastern Michigan, the school decided to change their nickname from Hurons to Eagles. This was, ostensibly, because of the offense to the Native American tribe. Problem was...the Native American tribe petitioned the school NOT to change it - they were honored by the nickname. Alas, the "white man"…

How was Tali's face lazy? Miranda was based on Yvonne Strahovski, Liara was based on Jillian Murray. The male Shepard was based on Mark Vanderloo. Why can't Tali's face be based on a model?

Oooooooooo, my Undertaker!

Slide your feet up the street
Bend your back
Shift your arm and then you pull it back.

Life is hard you know
So strike a pose on a Cadillac.

Money is irrelevant to the discussion. It could be done for free, with no money ever exchanging hands at any point and it would still be a copyright violation. It's a blatant infringement on the rights of the copyright holder; people need to realize that these sorts of actions are not legal in any way, shape, or…

No Duran Duran?!? I'm not buying this now! ;)

No, there's no instance that would make it okay. Making the movie is a derivative work and that right is held exclusively by Nintendo. It has nothing to do with how much money they were trying to get. They could try to do it completely for free and it still could be easily C&Ded by Nintendo.

It doesn't matter if Square doesn't sell them - Square owns the exclusive rights to make derivative works of the properties they own. This is blatant violation of copyright.

What I find ironic is that the same people who would willfully infringe on the rights of other people are also the most likely to complain loudly…

Even if they were "sold" for free, they would still be copyright violations and the 3D printing company would still have to cease and desist.

Except there's no such thing as Satan. Or Allah, for that matter. If you're going to allow the name of the other gods and goddesses, you might as well let every superstitious person type in the name of their invisible friend.

It doesn't matter if they don't make a cent off of the project - it's a derivative work and, as such, only the copyright holder has the right to make it. It's one of the exclusive rights of any copyright holder. It amazes me that people have the balls to blatantly infringe on copyrights so often these days.

One of the stores near me was still carrying the "Babbage's" name as of a couple years ago due to the contract that was signed with the mall. Next time I'm visiting family in the area I should see if it still exists.

Give me a JRPG without anime tropes and I might be interested. Until then, they can stay on the other side of the Pacific - I'll enjoy the "Western" RPGs which are closer to the RPGs of my childhood.
