Your situation is ideal. There is NO reason we should be giving the government a free loan. That $3k is so much better in your pocket.  Well done (by you and/or your payroll folks).

What about this will make them improve their storefront? Will they reduce the features available to match Epic’s storefront? Will they make sure their games aren’t purchasable on Amazon or other vendors? Will they buy exclusivity for games?

I guess I’ll play this in 2020 when it hits gog.

Its not random, because at anytime anyone of us can become WILLIAM SHATNER *PUTS ON SHATNER MASK* THERE’S SOMETHING ON THE WING I TELL YOU! SOMETHING ON THE WIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!

Cherry haters have no valid opinions.

They literally just went to PAX, hence depicting themselves on a plane. It’s entirely topical, as is their conversation.

Why the hell would the red part of the pie be strawberry and not cherry?

I haven’t frequented Kotaku in a long time. Decided to see what you guys were up to. “Oh hey another rape/sexual abuse/they looked at me funny navel gaze” I’ll see myself out again. I'm sure some find this an enriching read though.

Don’t kid yourself, dude. Fortnite is squarely in microtransaction hell right next to PUBG, it’s just in a nicer room with better furniture and has a slightly better view. As far as Fortnite, “just letting people have more fun”, all of the sweaty, tryhard, wannabe pro players that show up in every match will love to…

For devs, sure. For consumers, I’m not really seeing a benefit to “fractured storefronts”.

“my marriage isn’t really failing” It’s already failed — YOU’RE CHEATING ON YOUR WIFE.

despite being in an active dispute over ownership of this brand.

“All I CAN personally say is that it’s not a game for me.” 

Star Control hadn’t seen a release since 1996 (and no, Atari’s flash game created in 4 days as scheme to retain trademark doesn’t count). The “established” IP was defunct & would have remained that way unless another company bought the rights from Atari & spent the resources developing a sequel.

The issue is that…

That’s not what happened at all. They announced their acquisition of the rights from Atari back in 2013 (https://www.stardock.com/about/press/446966/stardock-acquires-star-control-rights-from-atari). It’s not stolen. It’s not ransomed. If Ford and Reiche wanted to fight it, they should have fought it back then, not 5…

You mean people who believe they legitimately bought the rights from a bankrupt publisher? Let’s not let emotion get in the way of what’s going on.

Again, it would’ve solved this very issue five years ago. They would’ve had their old agreement with Accolade/Atari and the transfer of all remaining rights from Stardock.…

While I agree that the vehicle should be towed out of the charge spot that, in my opinion, is something for a towing company/police to deal with. Hooking up and dragging somebody’s vehicle opens you up to all sorts of liability and possibly prosecution.

You’re going to have the local pokey do exactly what about a parking situation on private property that isn’t yours? 

Because its cheaper than fighting it and especially cheaper than fighting it and losing. There’s no thief in the night situation. No one stole anything. Stardock bought Atari and gained the rights to all the IP it owned. Unless those 2 can come up with a valid reason they owned the rights and not Atari then Stardock…

Yes, the video is staged by Tesla Trip’s Patrick Lawson and his sister—but that doesn’t mean they made it easy on themselves.
