Dude genuinely believed in vesting his stock options 

If there really is a pattern of conduct going back to the 90s, it would not be unbelievably hard to prove.

Oral contracts are enforceable contracts. This does not fall under any conceivable statute of frauds situation, in general or in California specifically.

“The Sound of Her Wings” which came at the end of the first arc, is midseason episode FYI. 

Admitting that their Odyssey killer failed and that the Western-developed 2D game ( that they only greenlit to get older fans off their backs) succeeded would risk too many careers and too many egos. The current party line is that people who see a bland Unreal tech demo “ just don’t get it”.

Child, shut the fuck up.

EULAs are not new, and they’re not untested. They’re contracts and generally enforceable. See ProCD, Feldman v Google, or any of a few dozen cases on this issue in the last 20 years.

See Bakalar v Vavra, Guggenheim v Lubell, and Menzel v List for NY law, which applies to these particular NFTs. And make an effort to actually understand what you’re reading this time, lol.

In US law, a buyer cannot acquire better title than a seller, and a thief never has good title. Stop pretending to be a lawyer on the internet, lol, you don’t even know what a security interest is, and that provision doesn’t say anything like what you think.

The general rule in the US is that even good-faith purchasers of stolen goods have no title to them. 

The law doesn’t give a shit what the blockchain says, FYI. If it was stolen, and it appears it was actually stolen, the thief never had good title to pass on to the current possessor. 

them Korok seeds ain’t worth it, you made the right decision

Radio, television, film, and both arcade and console gaming all exploded within a few years of their introduction. That VR is still a niche  indicates that the mass market just doesn’t give a shit. 

Update: 4/21/22 11:24 a.m. ET: This review has been updated to clarify that Kirby and the Forgotten Land is not technically an open-world game, though it is colloquially referred to as such here and elsewhere.

Why are you googling if you want a blind run? Step away from the screen, man. 

It’s only slightly more extensive than the first, nothing like BOTW. There are a few more handholds that are non-obvious, but the vast majority of walls are unclimbable. 

Nintendo would win quite easily on trademark or asset/character/story copyright even if the code were legally reverse-engineered.

Prime Directive is correct. I was actually shocked to see accurate analysis in the comments of a video game website.

Reverse-engineering is legal if 1. You don’t make use of the underlying copyrights or trade secrets (which from this team’s references to decompiled code, they did), 2. You don’t circumvent access control for any reason other than strictly necessary interoperability, and 3. It’s not prohibited by contract.

This is not correct; EULAs can be and have been upheld. They’re a contract, and it’s perfectly legal for one party to bargain away rights.
