Again. Nobody is saying they are not legally in the right. We are saying it’s asinine, and I do not accept it as a good explanation. When companies announce things like this, they announce that it’s open season because they’re not doing anything with it anymore.

I don’t think they’re trying to make the copyright law argument, I think they’re saying that argument is meaningless if the company refuses to do anything with said owned IP. At that point just give people the tools to run the game themselves.

Consider the name on that review and then the name on this article.

I see what they’re getting at to a point. One example I can remember is that YongYea, one of the influencers they paid to shill the game, IMMEDIATELY deleted the video advertising it and started ripping into the game along with everyone else after launch. But also CDPR sold a piece of software that had tons of flaws…

Then they are welcome to make their own games themselves.

I’m happy, at least, to hear that Kojima isn’t *all the way* bought in on his own hype. I maybe wouldn’t have named a studio after myself but that’s why I’m in this comment section and not successful.

I feel like even setting aside the studio’s ghastly writing with regards to mental health, their grasp of horror is flawed at a core level. The constant focus given to “look at X returning staff member from Team Silent” feels like Konami’s attempt to draw attention away from that.

“Nobody is forcing these studios to accept buyouts.”

This is an awfully sympathetic article for someone who has made advances towards minors in his videos and has allegations of grooming hanging over his head. Really taking his sob story at face value.

I would be extremely bummed to see another studio put on CSM, Mappa did a great job adapting the comic to animation.

The Street Fighter one auto-marks all art submissions as NSFW and safe ones are manually undone by moderators. Meaning potentially half the fanart (much of which is still safe but shows a little extra thigh or cleavage) is just gone for users in that case.

WOTC execs explicitly cited this as a problem. The notion that they were only selling one core book for every group means they’re missing out on anywhere from 40% to 80% as much revenue. That is, if you live in their fantasy mind palace where every single player hopes to GM someday and has the cash to do it.

Remember when Blizzard told everyone that they weren’t allowed to play Overwatch anymore, because Overwatch 2 was gonna be just that good? I sure remember.

Seconding the Hazel plug, she’s great.

Seeing Last Year be one such interesting take on it and sputter out because of an unfortunate exclusivity deal with Discord was a real bummer. Apparently it’s back and in fresh hands? Looking forward to TCSM, being carefully optimistic about it.

A few more months of every Nintendo Direct chat being filled with “WHERE’S SILKSONG”, can’t wait.

In what way do people have “no reason to complain” about being sold an unfinished game?

Did Yoshida speak on the matter of Sony Japan Studio being shuttered, and the rumours the Japanese dev scene was feeling slighted by Sony in general? That was a sector of the Playstation brand that was exploring those creative ideas before Sony started to shift focus more, and I’d be curious to know how he feels…

These clips look ‘interesting’ to me but I feel like the colour palette is a little desaturated or washed out because of the effects. To me this doesn’t look like Pokemon to me, it looks like a sprite based “Pokemon Remake in Unreal Engine 5" equivalent.

The idea of charging money for something zero work went into (and that you can replicate endlessly for further zero work) feels like a one-off gag from a Philip K. Dick short, but here we are.
