Dig the hole deeper. Cmon. You can do it. “I just have to be right!” That’s the kind of commenter you are. So go ahead and be right, but as you scroll, look at all the feathers you ruffled and remember that being “right for the sake of right” certainly makes you look like a dick.

That's a pretty extreme response.

That person at the very top of the comments already won that contest!

While his price is a bit steep, why is the person a scumbag for trying to protected a copywritten image? He owns the rights to it and can reproduce it elsewhere if he so chooses, so are other artists that do the same considered scumbags in your eyes?

But they can turn around and tattoo the same image on someone else if they want, so there is a sense of ownership of the image. They obviously don't own the image on you, but they definitely can reproduce the image and protect it legally if they wish.

Showing the tattoo on TV is different. Recreating it in a video game can be seen as plagiarism. But, it's also a weird thing to ponder, because that person cannot help but look the way they do. So is it their likeness? Legally, that's up to the judge to decide.

I think it’s on the lines of the forgery side. Maybe even plagiarism.

Most artists spend a lifetime of study, practice and hard work to get to where they are. an artists work literally becomes more valuable as it is honed and perfected. Asking 1.1 million is actually pretty reasonable in terms of attainment, because it does take a lifetime to get to where they are now. Of course, don't…

I’m sure if you saw a picture of a basketball players likeness, like their face, you would be able to tell who it is without having to see the tattoos. When you argue about something as “likeness” that means that without it, we will never know who the person is. Jason wears a hockey mask. Likeness. I have tattoos of a…

I have full sleeves on both arms. Just saying that as a preface. Anyway, the artist owns that picture he or she puts on you. They can duplicate it and put it on anybody else of they like, unless it’s some unique piece. They don't own your piece of your body, but of course, they own the rights to the image and can use…

Those events were years apart.

I'm not sure they believe what they do is art; moreso that what they do is an art. They follow a method and follow an art, but they certainly do not (legally) create art. There's no copywrite infringement on hair, to my knowledge!

I love that his mouth is full, but the hotdog has no clear bite taken from it.

Save scumming? Who comes up with this crapola?

I've heard loot nightmare stories from friends that play this game, and it just shows me that this game does not respect your time. Reminds me of Everquest...my friend camped for his Shadowknight epic for 2 months. The final stretch he even called out sick from work for a week so he could devote more time to the…

This feels like a cheap tactic to get more preorders.

I don't find his games any good. I did love the original Metal Gear Solid, but man...it went downhill from there!

This. So much this. Buying games at launch is so risky these days. I'm nervous to spend $60 when I know the possibility exists that the game will be a beta test.

I laughed a lot harder at some of those replies than I should have.

Nanomachines, son.
