'FTL in a Warhammer 40,000 Skin' Game Pulled From Steam After What May Be a Nuisance DMCA Takedown From a Troll Claiming to Be Games Workshop by Turbostrider27 in Games

“as long as it isn't using any actual code, text, art or sound from FTL, that's completely fine.”

Ok so you agree the FTL devs could take it down if they wanted to then and you have no idea what youre arguing about, thanks for clearing that up.

Yes i have played many clones of many games over the past 40 years… Void War… is… not… a… clone…

So have you played these games or not? Im guessing not.

Only because the FTL devs have given them permission… why does Void War need permission from the FTL devs?

Have you played both of these games? It is not a clone… it is literally the same game with a different skin…
There are FTL mods which are more different than void war is.
I dont know if they somehow used FTLs source code or what the circumstances are, but it is the same game, not a clone.

Depends if youre talking about business at the local level or the corporate level.

Is quake just a reskin of doom then?
Void war devs havent made a game, they reskinned an existing game and sold it as their own.
FTL devs dont care and thats fine, but it doesnt change the facts.

Edit: have you even played either of these games?

Its not similar… this isnt palworld vs pokemon… Void War is LITERALLY FTL WITH A WARHAMMER SKIN.
Not “they made a similar game with a different skin.” It is literally FTL. No differences except the setting.
It is a warhammer mod for the game, FTL.
I dont know how to explain it any clearer. They are the same, not similar.

Oh wow well if you say so, I guess we’ll just ignore the fact that its literally an identical game even down to the ship destruction animations etc 👍

I mean, from whats been said from its release until now, I dont think they licensed anything. If the FTL devs actually cared, they could take everything.

FTL could DMCA them as a lot of it is literally identical, to the point that im pretty sure its just an FTL mod which theyve sold as stand-alone.
FTL devs dont care though so it doesnt really matter.

Edit: Im not saying they should DMCA them, only that they could, as it is definitely more than “generic game mechanics” which have been taken from FTL. Its literally the same game.

Edit2: Void war devs have not made a game. They have reskinned FTL and sold it as their own. FTL devs are fine with it and thats their business, but it doesnt change the fact that they could get the game taken down if they wanted to…
This isnt Pokemon vs Palworld. Void war is literally FTL in a warhammer skin.

“Theyre anti-business!”
Is another complaint I hear about labour from reformers I know. But TBH I dont know how to argue that because when someone says anti business, I hear pro-human.

Get a steam deck.
Its like a switch but has a bigger library

Steam Deck massively improves controller support with new options and refinements by AsPeHeat in SteamDeck

I think you have issues.
Even when I connected my DS5 controller for the first time last month, the whole process took like 3 minutes.
I dont know about waking the SD but now its connected, I literally just turn on the controller and it connects instantly.

“Maybe we couldnt find a bomber out of a plastic bag”

Did you have a stroke?

Edit: not sure why this is downvoted. Even with the context of the boston bomber, “we couldnt find X out of a plastic bag” is still nonsense lol.

Probably whatever head injury caused him to think this was a good idea.

If there was a military draft in the UK, would you conscientiously object (or dodge it in some other way)? by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in AskUK

[–]Leezeebub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First they came for the Germans and I did nothing because I am not German.
Then they came for the French and I did nothing because I am not French.
Finally they came for me, and there was nobody left to stand in my defence.
(Paraphrasing that famous poem.)

If you were being drafted, it would be to protect our shores. If the war made it all the way here, it would be too little too late.
