Thats odd, usually Steam discounts the bundle if you own parts of it.

Agreed. “Enough horsepower to PLAY modern versions of Doom” is not the same thing as “Enough horsepower to STREAM Doom.”

Yeesh, if you’re gonna claim it can run Doom Eternal (via streaming), why not go all-in and claim it can run Cyberpunk 2077 with path-tracing? 

There was an awful lot of new, funny stuff in Season One that was written without Sir Terry, so I trust Gaiman to be able to do the same for Season Two. Also, I remember Gaiman saying at one point that a lot of the bits of the book people assumed came from Pratchett because they were funny actually came from him, and…

The reason you would rather watch a thousand influencers unboxing garbage is because you have garbage taste (coincidentally, you parrot every other talking point from the mindless zombies that dominate the readership of this website).

i dont create content.  i offer services.  nobody is taking my “content” off the internet because I don’t rip people off and pass it off as my own work.

i think it’s hilarious. these people who can’t make their own content are lame. wtf is “reaction” video to someone else playing a game? if that’s your content, bye.

Semi-related, I saw an arugment earlier where someone stated that “Nintendo is constantly looking for ways to remove the emulators. They have such an outdated mentality regarding playing their older titles (have the original game and console, even stuff from decades ago).”

“Technically correct is the best kind of correct” is a futurama quote i threw in as a joke, calm down, lol. Anyways, I’m not arguing morals here, I’m just saying it’s still the definition of piracy. i have not made any statements regarding moral right or wrong (I even went out of my way to say i don’t think it made…

“While emulation in general is often associated with piracy, some enthusiasts make use of it to simply play games they already own on higher-spec machines or with mods and other gameplay-enhancing hacks.”
Problem is, I’m not sure this is legal, even though most people wish it was. When you buy a game, you actually…

Comparing any handheld sales number to the DS is more than a bit “apples and to oranges” disingenuous. By your reasoning that’d make the Playstation 3 AND the Xbox 360 both failures, as they only barely managed to sell just over half the DS sales number.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct. Listen, when you preordered it you exchanged money with the consensual understanding that the other party would release it to you at a later date. If you go and pirate that is completely outside the consensual terms of your transaction. You are pirating it, fullstop. I…

Huh? It’s real in so far as copyright is a set of real rules regarding the copying of cultural works designed to both protect the author (the copyright term) and enrich the public (by having reasonable limits on the rights granted and the length of that term)

What a ridiculous take. The 3ds sold 75m units, which makes it the 12th highest selling console of all time (and firmly in the middle of the pack compared to the “major” console releases - Nintendo, Sony, Xbox, Sega). Yes, the DS sold 150m, but it’s also unfair to compare with a system that was not only lightning in a…

I’m pretty anti-Nintendo’s actions as a general rule - but yea, I’d still consider that piracy.

I mean, if you’re only looking at the first 6months 3DS was a failure..

Buying and Selling is a consensual agreement between two parties. The seller has not yet consented the goods be released to you. So, yes, it is piracy.

In what world was the 3DS considered a failure?

Yes.

Is it still considered piracy if you already pre-ordered the game and just want to play it sooner on superior hardware?
