Counterpoint: most new games are garbage.

“Plus, one would argue that most VHS titles have become easily available in multiple platforms/formats”

One would be terribly incorrect if one were to argue that *most* VHS titles are easily available on other formats - streaming or otherwise.

*looks at VHS library*

tell me about it.

I really enjoyed the single player content that is in the game, but there wasn’t very much of it.  Hopefully they add significantly more to the single player campaign moving forward. 

People figure out how to AFK credits in Gran Turismo and now the servers are down for unexplained reasons, eh?

If there was enough game to support the position “it’s not a game meant to be finished in 2 weeks” then that would be one thing, but there isn’t enough non-multiplayer options to justify the paltry pay-out.  

ultrawide is not a standard.

This is nearly exactly what I was thinking when I read that bullet point.

I’ve loathed Gamestop ever since they took over my sweet and lovely Software Etc. As a company, they’ve done nothing to turn that around. I’ve had a few occassions wherein individual managers have gone above and beyond to keep me coming back, but I’m sure some of what they did would’ve been against company policies.…

Love it.

The framework of the original Demon’s Souls is still influencing exploits to this day.

I once worked with a manager that would walk around to everyone’s cubicle sharing porn.  If anyone refused to look, he’d make a big show trying to shame the person who wasn’t partaking.

Yeah buddy. Last I checked “Return of the Jedi” still hasn’t made a profit.

As a fatty, she still shouldn’t lose her employment.

Seems like unions should be a thing no matter what scam the company is selling.

Attribution would be nice. I can agree there. 

I have people co-opting/stealing my work every day. Many younger artists make fan art - and some (those rascals) even sell it! If my art can inspire others, bring someone joy and/or can feed another family, go for it. I will never think making art is a bad thing and I’m disheartened when other artists don’t allow…

“simply because someone else made something similar using another medium?” was the point. You said they shouldn’t be able to sell it (“Create your art by tracing photos, just don’t sell that art”). I asked why.

“new art or ideas can only be made if they can be sold”

Never even remotely suggested that. You mentioned that you’re trying to make a living in the same (or similar) way this artist is.

“make them different enough”

Why shouldn’t they be able to sell their art simply because someone else made something similar using another medium? There’d legitimately be no new art or ideas by that metric. This artist is also making a living through creation and doing so successfully. Because you don’t trace you want to take away this persons…
