Eh, I don’t disagree, but it depends on how clear it was upfront that it was such a short game. I probably would expect an $18 to last longer, but as long as they give an accurate idea of how long it should last before you buy, there’s no excuses.

And what are the income demographics of those who pirate games?

Which is totally okay even if that’s true. Whether or not piracy lowers game sales or not, pirates fundamentally don’t have the right to play games they haven’t paid for.

No, commissioned artwork is still copyrighted by the artist, unless otherwise negotiated.

But surely he own the right to his body and his image being used however he’d like it to be? Obviously a tattoo is art and in theory I support it being copyrightable (like someone else can’t steal the design for another tattoo), except when it comes to the context of how the body is used, I don’t think the artist…

So if I get a tattoo, who owns the copyright? If it’s the artist, does that mean I have to get the artist’s permission for my likeness (which obviously ought to include the tattoos) to be used? That doesn’t seem like the right outcome.

his point is it’s okay to take a break until they release new shit

I’m not one to care much about graphics, but the art design in that screenshot are almost offensively bad.

The definition’s fine, but it’s not really a metric. How do you decide that total war is this much more strategic than starcraft, etc.

Well given that he made a ton of speeches, we know what he would have said, which is that no shit all lives matter, but America has totally failed people of color, so let’s focus on that for a change:

Last quote is a bit dumb. Companies do this so they don’t get heavily fined/sued for breaking the law, they’re not sharing “gaming data of American Muslims [with] the government,” I’d be surprised if trying to register under that name even registered a flag beyond that error. In this case, they just fucked up the…

Wait, $600 and a high performance PC? Maybe next decade...

It’s active in very small doses, so you don’t need much to cut a large amount of heroin, but it’s largely synthesized in clandestine international labs, rather than diverted from pharmaceutical sources.

Well they’ve told news outlets. It’s pretty standard to at least email your users to let them know what’s happened. Anything else is pretty weak.

It’s fucking shameful and I’m tempted to start boycotting Steam for future purchases. Bad customer service is one thing, not telling customers their information has potentially been exposed is another.

and so is the defendant

Sort of similar to the reaction of Sony’s NA execs to Sony Japan censoring the North Korea movie. They were basically like “look, it’s not my decision, this never happens, what do you want me to do about it?”

Investment crowdfunding like this is somehow even sketchier than kickstarter. There should clearly be some rules around requiring certain financial disclosures in marketing, not just in SEC filings.

I enjoyed it running through the quests and hung around the arena mode/raid area bit, but it just doesn’t work that well as an MMO. I hope they go back to making single player elder scrolls again.
