You have no idea how to detect sarcasm, do you

Traditional to like 2004's DC suburbs maybe

too many goddamn y’s in that first name there

well my mom named me after the main character in the movie xanadu so I guess anything’s possible

Why don’t you lighten up a little?

I guess I’m just surprised that out of the entire staff, not a single person would’ve been like - this was great. But I also guess it’s hard to think all the way back to January, too. Most of these that were picked were summer things.

I understand the semantics of the situation, thanks

How the actual hell did you forget to put John Scott on this list??

ah yes, the last gasp of a career that’s hanging on by a single thread of 1990s nostalgia

single and ready to mingle i guess

This has just enough of the Afterlife with Archie vibe to keep things interesting. I really enjoy most of the new Archie stuff (though the art on the latest issues of new Archie has been GARBAGE comparatively, Veronica Fish where’d you go???) and I’m at least going to give this series a shot.

“bitter towards the company that could have made everyone pretty rich.”

Yeah based on all of that I wouldn’t consider this fair use.

It still used a ROM of a game he didn’t have the rights to - Pokemon Crystal - as the base for this. It still could have had a financial impact on whether or not people would purchase a legitimate Pokemon title. Everything here is just derivative of a…

With regards to fair use/legality for the copyright though, it would come down to the following:
1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether the use is of a commercial nature or for a non-profit educational purpose. (The purpose is entertainment, exactly the same as the original work - certainly not…

With a game like Pokemon though, where each creature is individually trademarked (iirc), in order for it to be transformative all of them would have to be changed. We clearly see Pikachu’s Crystal sprite in the trailer, for example. It’s not /just/ the Pokemon license this dude would be fighting against, it’s the use…

Microtransactions which are completely optional. There isn’t a financial barrier to getting the game, which is my entire point.

Pokemon GO is free, meaning there’s now a precedent for official Pokemon gaming content not costing anything.

Nintendo’s properties these days are worth so much more than anything Sega has going on. It’s really an apples and oranges comparison. I don’t disagree that it’s a ton of work that will now go unrecognized - and that totally sucks - but at the same time, he should’ve been smarter about how he went about promoting this…

Is Digimon World Next Order actually January 31? Only official things I’ve seen have said “Q1 2017"

Fanart that is obviously fanart isn’t damaging to an IP like a game like this is. Releasing things under “Pokemon Uranium” or “Pokemon Prism” - names that sound legitimate when placed next to the actual game titles - for free online, and letting them get big, can damage the IP in big ways when uninformed parents go to…
