I still feel like a solution would be a simple distinction of the use of music. So while the RIAA can issue automatic strikes, they would have to determine if the source of music is the broadcaster specifically or the game they’re playing.

Want to go after streamers who run a radio station? Sure.
But going after…

They did early on, but nothing near what they used to be prior to the Netflix deal.

Also, timely response there.  Two and a half years.

likely being kept off their platform after Spider-man

This smells like a case of not reading labels or Googling product first -before- using it.

Because everybody gets their legal news from Kotaku comments?

Odd given how a) he oversaw the purchasing of Bethesda and b) then hinted that Elder Scrolls VI might only be XBox only.

Then he turns around and calls the situation toxic? k

There are two things that need to be “addressed” about this.

One, Amazon needs to take the lead on this and either pony up the costs for improved licensing OR umbrella all music usage for Twitch under Amazon Music which already has those licenses in the first place. You’re magically telling me that Twitch is cool with…

Bright dust can now be earned through the season pass (7,500 for the free version, 3,000 for the paid one) and weekly bounties will only award 100 instead of 200.

Totally was one app. I refused to install the Messenger app when the split happened.

Why do their pictures look like Madame Tussauds’s version of them?

Who is also a delight. I told her thanks for her role in those, and she sent the most whole thank you note as a DM.  

At what point did I say that Sony owned Spider-man? I said they have the licensing rights to Spider-man. Vastly different than owning him straight up.

And why was Spider-man allowed on the Switch game? Because, the Switch and PlayStation aren’t really competing platforms. Yes, they’re consoles, but Nintendo has its…

I feel this is the weirdest hill to die on.

Not because it’s just console-specific DLC, it’s unavoidable given the licensing the character has with the entire Sony brand. Was Microsoft going to welcome the free Sony/Playstation advertising in their environment?

I’m not interested in installing another launcher just for one free game.

I’ve said the same thing for years now.

Just do what Rock Band did when they came back. You create one base game. You have the roster of wrestlers there for the base. Your yearly rollout adds to the roster, so your roster can grow infinitely, and you can still do the random themed DLCs like this did this year.  Like…

The rumor is the AEW game will be this gen’s take on the N64 games.

At this point, I’ll take an average game and call it a win.
