Try again, dude. My point was about buying an loser IP from a company without the demand being there to be worth the purchase. If Microsoft bought Rare and wanted to milk the IPs that came with it, that’s a completely different issue. If Konami gets bought, sweet, but it wouldn’t be to make Bloody Roar. Either way,…

Uhh.. and? I didn’t say it was impossible, just unrealistic and you might want to actually read up on Killer Instinct.

Well, Short Sellers essentially are buying the stock on loan (generally with an Investment Bank) with a promise to return it at some stated period. They’re definitely losing out if that period ends now as less and less banks will be willing to take that bet and reissue those stocks at the same volume if they know they…

I mean, realistically, those smaller IPs are gone. I doubt anyone has enough interest in those IPs to buy them over making a spiritual successor.

If you think they didn’t grant permission through their TOS while living, you’ll be wrong. The patent is just making use of information they already own. It’s most likely using archived data from social media apps and forum sites. Your boogeyman came, installed an Alexa, and left a long time.

All I’m saying is people have limits. If he went all Kramer and shouted racial epithets the whole time, yeah, there’s my stop but this is just some guy venting about being harassed for something he either had no say in or wasn’t allowed to talk about. Someone being a “public figure” is not a free pass for “fans” to be…

Eh, he doesn’t seem like the nicest of guys but not everyone can be in PR mode all day every day. He didn’t drop a F-Bombs or go after anyone, he just said what’s on his mind after being ticked off. This is the equivalent of a dad screaming at his kids on the car ride to Disneyland.

Even at big fancy Investment Banks where they make deals that directly influence stock prices, 401ks are a non-issue. They’re managed by 3rd parties who don’t let you direct it towards any stock in particular. Industry ETF, good. Tesla by itself, No.

I haven’t played the game but I assume it’s also including the common themes within Wuxia stories that have been popular in Asian pop culture for a good while which revolved basically an Eastern style of chivalry mixed with a reputation system like the social credit system China implemented. In a gist, those stories…

You should show this to Sony’s other lines who don’t know what the fuck they’re doing. Their cell phone line is a mess.  

Dude doesn’t control the mail. Looks like he just steals the big boxes that comes in.

That’s at least a billion dollar license deal spanning movies, merch, and theme parks. Oh wow, I like to see the look on her face. Frankly, the push to associate the brand away from her is just going to bring the price up. She has zero reason to care and zero reason to sell something that’s kept her swimming in very…

Uhh No, dude. They didn’t get laid off, their company got bought. Being laid off means you don’t have a job, not that you changed your parent employer. The people who were actually laid off from Avalanche are already long gone, send those guys your money if you’re so concerned.

If a flat licensing fee is all it takes, newsflash: you’re still supporting her brand and raising her negotiating power on future deals. You buy, she still wins. It’s Warner Bros, don’t give that BS “developers hurt” argument. They’re not a small time game company, they’re a large conglomerate paying their dev teams a…

You can be both in imagination land. It’s not like Nintendo designers didn’t also grow up on DBZ, they know what gold pointy hair floating upwards looks like. It’s clearly Super Saiyan Lion Mario 2.

The AC Switch is still in production like the vanilla Switch. It was limited at launch then had a second release in regular production a little later. Limited releases are generally one and done, they make a set, sell it, they don’t make any more. Not saying it might not go away in the future but it’s out there longer…

Even if it were, it’s Mario, 30+ years in countless media and drawn a countless number of times in multiple styles and variation. This is just a plain 3d Mario. Their design teams have probably created thousands of different iterations of that exact design but nooo... they had to steal a fan design instead of going…

He doesn’t own anything, not sure why you’re ranting about it. There’s not even anything particularly unique about his image. Nintendo has made Mario a thousand different ways by now, you think he has a case for a fan art copyright over one of the most generic Mario photos people have ever seen? Other people have…

Realistically, the crew doesn’t have the experience and support to get anywhere close to the job. I doubt Pelosi wants the job any more than Ryan did, she’s just the only one who can do the work AND have enough support to actually win the damn thing without shaking up the house for forty days and nights. The fuss was…

Better just to call a sweepstake than a job application because that's clearly what it is.
