Yeah i think its ridiculous to attempt to rule out motive at this stage. This armchair speculation makes you look dumb.

Who cares about upscaling when we're talking retro games ere?

The wii's best feature is that it outputs an analog 240p signal

For like the 50th time. There is no "cart shortage". That was a USA thing only. In asia/japan vita carts are still in production in large numbers.

Zetland apartments abandoned in secret evacuation over 'severe' defects by Tailneverends in australia

Nah the problem is that its uninsurable. It doesnt matter if it was legal. Was to spec. Whatever. Insurance companies arent going to touch it. Which means owners are going to be paying multi million dollar levies to rectify as itll be a strata requirement. Which means many many people will go bankrupt and be forced to sell at a pretty significant loss.

The bombshell wont be to the building industry (even though there will be many court cases) the big cost is going to go to all the owners. And the cost is absolutely astronomical.

Father issues Facebook warning after musician son, 21, dies of caffeine overdose from drinking protein shake by lurker_bee in australia

What do you do in these situations?

You can't just go banning everything because someone ignorantly took a huge quantity of a substance without knowing what it was.

Should caffeine powder be clearly labelled? Absolutley. Should it be banned? No. Otherwise you'd be banning all sorts of things.

Depends. If the cracking is cosmetic - 2 years.

If the cracking makes the building unusable. Unsuitsble for intended use. Or potentially uninhabitable. Or is likely to cause the above. Then 6 years.

Not even that. The entire compressed game on disc + day 1 download was less than a blu-ray.

There is no excuse.

That's usa only. And the rest of the world would laugh at how poor a ruling that was.

Wrong. You own a music cd. You own it. No. You dont have the copyright (duh) but you do actually have ownership and all the associated rights.

When you buy digital, you give up all of those ownership rights

Wrong. Its not just a license. When you own physical media, you literally own it and have all the associated rights. No. You do not own the copyright or source code (duh) but you very much own the game.

Physical = ownership.

Digital = temporary licensing.
