It is nonsense that a better cut for devs has not lead to better things for consumers.

I see what Epic does there as extremely fair and very positive for game developers and gamers.

You’re right of course, many questions still open.

I find it interesting that so many in the comments see it like it has to be perfect and/or it has to work great for everyone right away, or it’s a bust.

Shut up, Larry.

yes

A fun clever way to make a “fan” in that low cost way. For some pc VR headsets there are fans one can add on which are meant to cool you/the headset down to avoid getting sweaty in the headset. But devs would have to code in support for making such external fans get kicked on manually, per game, per fan type.

yes, i played them and that’s why i said those things. Dunno, but i remember them very different than you then. From how i remember them the first yoshi’s island was more like a typical jump and run, already toned down dying likeliness some since one could pick up the baby again to not die, but yeah, obstacles where…

I don’t get all the newer yoshi games anymore.

This is a great outcome for mankind.

happy holidays to you, too =)

Well, the copyright law specifically makes the distinction whether something is a proper choreography or just 1-2 common body movements, so yeah, no matter if 1-2 single body movements are iconic or not, they are still only 1-2 body movements and it makes a lot of sense to not allow anyone to own 1-2 common body…

Nothing to do with ignorance to point out how dumb using a word like whitesplain is.

if one looks at the entire long dance as shown in several fresh prince episodes, then yes, that is a) of course a full choreography and b) as a whole is a unique creation (by him or his choreographer/dance instructors etc).

No one else has to claim copyright on the moves because no one should be allowed to own such basic moves and yes, it takes all of 5 minutes of googling to see others doing similar moves before him, so it would be very easy to refute his claims that the two moves in the emote would actually be his unique creation.

I’d totally agree if a full unique dance made up of many moves or a longer sequence would be copied 1:1. For something which is just a very low amount of moves, hell no, i sure hope that type of minimal content amount never gets ownable by anyone, because else seriously good night to any kind of expression

yeah, let’s see what the courts say. My stance is the whole world would be in a really shitty place if now suddenly two body movements are to be treated as a proper choreography someone can protect (especially and even more so when on top he was not even the first to come up with those two body movements), so i hope…

already came up, then was refuted as it should be by the point that it would be protectable if it is rated as proper dance or choreography. But then that also refutable again based on whether he can claim to have done these moves or sequence of moves first, so whether he is then even the valid copyright owner. (he…

First: The twerking Santa is actually pretty awesome =)

yeah, that’s what many seem to be missing about this whole topic. These emotes usually are about 1-4 body movements. I am very happy that would by most courts not be treated as proper dance or choreography just as 4 notes would not make you have a great stance to sue others on robbing your “song” (Even in music it is…
