Maybe this will get “fandom” to stop infringing on the rights of others. A lawsuit like this needs to happen.

No, that’s not the case, as the company’s artists are doing works for hire, to which the company paying them owns the copyright on the work. Fan art is, for all intents and purposes, copyright infringement (Derivative work).

And this “dancing” looks like it’s straight from “A Night At The Roxbury”.

BABY DON’T HURT ME NO MORE!

I was expecting something actually entertaining.

Is this a slow news day?

I think this entire article can be summed up in two statements:
1) People have a feeling of entitlement.
2) People are amazingly ignorant of copyright laws and how they work.

Adjust those for inflation and we were paying an arm and a leg for games back then!!!

My point is that there’s no reason to complain about the price when it’s comparable to what the game was released at, especially considering that the demand will probably far outstrip the supply of the game.

Don’t assume - you just end up looking foolish.

Wasn’t Chrono Trigger $89.99 when it was released?

“We will never stop moving forward...by looking into the rear-view mirror and trotting out every single JRPG trope of the past!”

It’s a lineup like this which makes me happy I don’t own a Wii U.

Just like children outgrow anime and enjoy more sophisticated and intelligent programming, Kotaku can outgrow its origin and name.

There really need to be less of a focus of anime on Kotaku. Spin it off onto its own site; it’s frustrating to sift through the articles on the crap to get to the interesting information.

I shed a manly tear after reading this. ‘Tis beautiful.

FTA: “StartFragment

I agree with the lack of understanding of inflation. That was a very insightful post. Thank you.

Argumentum ad populum. Doesn’t matter how many people call them “non-games” - they still fit the definition of a video game. :D

I’m not the one trying to change the definition. ;-)

You win.

I thought your username was “JayT”, not “Merriam-Webster”. Who made you the ultimate arbiter of the definition of a video game? It’s sad that people are so stuck in the past that they’re afraid of change...

They’re still video games. You may not like them, but there are millions of people who do. It’s just sad that people will get that vitriolic over games and negatively label the people who do like them.
