“likely to be shut down for supporting piracy”

Hey I wanted to thank you for your comment. I have a hard time keeping my attention on long articles, and if your comment wasn’t the first one I had seen, I wouldn’t know they mentioned a top-tier rom-based gaming handheld in the article. After reading your comment I was able to find the handheld emulation device they…

Reporting on the realities of the world doesn’t mean they are promoting piracy. Many of us would gladly pay good money for these games! But Nintendo’s terrible emulator and poor pricing strategy are making it very hard to justify the cost.  

I think that that the primary argument is that something must be lost to be theft. Theft requires “intent to deprive the rightful owner of” something. If the game is legally purchasable, then it can be argued that piracy is theft, as it is *potentially* a lost sale. The company is losing X amount that they would have…

Pointing out that emulation exists and that Nintendo’s crummy service likely won’t win over the people who have already been emulating these games for years =/= “promoting piracy.”

Everything about this movie seems so bland. A bunch of superheroes no one has ever heard of fighting the most generic CGI monsters imaginable against a muted backdrop.  This is just impossible to get excited for.

100% of my income depends on IP laws, mostly copyright and patent laws. I also think that these laws are complete bs. Copyright lasts way too long (should be no more than 20 years as an upper limit), and patents are both too easy to get, and should be limited to maybe five years.

Raspberry Pi users on Kotaku are basically the Ned Ryerson of the comment threads, making sure to pop up like clockwork on every goddamn retro-gaming article.

The first rule of Raspberry Pi club is you have to tell everyone about Raspberry Pi club.

Personally, if I was going to spend time/money to build a dedicated device I’d forget the Retropie and spend more to make an FPGA.

Well, the RetroPie isn’t legal, and I think at the end of the day most of us would like to be playing the games in some legal way, if possible.

Hey now how is the American government going to spend trillions of dollars on arms contracts and failed interventions in the Middle East if they’re on the hook for inappropriate small business loans provided to individuals that the individuals have to pay back?

Yes, only companies should be allowed to get away with this sort of thing

Wow ... how brave of you Blizzard. Not only do you not care about the people working for you but you also give to shits about established lore.

Careful, Luke. Any talk of piracy on this site is an invitation for so much whining.

If this had been a scripted short film, the shot at the beginning with the lady frothing past lipstick stained teeth would have been a truly beautiful piece of characterization.

Those claims were more about technical performance and this is more about general playability.

Everyone’s not a big strong tough guy like you, Bruce; is it that difficult to consider that a human being might be, I don’t know - traumatized a little bit by having a weapon pointed at them while they’re at work, having their life threatened? Over a crappy couple of hundred bucks? Shocking as it sounds, even though…

Halo infinite had it as part of the beta, although it's a little different when it's a guy in future world power armor that then has a sort of inexplicable prosthetic leg.   You'd think an amputee Spartans armor would just function without an actual limb inside it.  

Halo Infinite does as well, with options for transhumeral/transradial/hand & transtibial prosthetics.
