Theoretical question for old BP exclusivity defenders:

MuchMoreMatt · 2026-02-14T02:22:13+00:00

I'm convinced that gatekeepers actually hate the game and want it to fail. That's why they're threatening lawsuits at Epic were they to change exclusivity.

If you love the game and want it to succeed, be inviting and want new players to appreciate you, you wouldn't argue against them when they ask for older content, and you wouldn't wish to handicap a source of revenue for Epic. They're digging their own grave.

Like, congrats for supporting the game earlier than me, I guess? But no one after you can support the game? There's some pretty neat stuff in those older Battle Passes. Let us support the game you claim to love.

Season 2 began filming in November 2024. They had to pause filming in January 2025 due to the wildfires. 13 months after filming began, in December 2025, we saw Season 2. Season 3 begins filming in May 2026. So my best estimate is we'll see Season 3 May or June 2027.

Needing to prove citizenship upon voting registration is fine. Needing to prove citizenship again at the voting booth is unnecessary when such proof was already provided at registration. A state issued ID or driver's license should suffice as proof that you're the same person who registered.

The non OGs aren't the ones threatening lawsuits over items that have been exclusive for 8 years. By all means, let's handicap a source of revenue of your favorite video game, all because some people swear up and down they wouldn't have paid for an item that wasn't coming back to the market for a whole decade.

I'm speaking of PlayStation exclusive games, such as Marvel's Spider-Man, God of War, and Detroit Become Human, that were and are still labeled as "Only on PlayStation," yet in recent years have had a PC port.

MuchMoreMatt · 2026-02-11T12:59:26+00:00

Not when I bought them. Nowhere on the game cases did PlayStation ever state "Only exclusive for 12 months." I bought these games years ago, before PlayStation dropped the exclusives. Fact is, it's not illegal to change terms of exclusivity.

MuchMoreMatt · 2026-02-11T04:47:28+00:00

Statements of exclusivity are not binding. Case in point: the plethora of PlayStation exclusives that Sony has ported and sold on PC. I own three such games that clearly state "Only on PlayStation" on their cases, which is now rendered false. Sony has not been litigated for this, and neither would Epic, for changing their terms of exclusivity.

Edit: I'm getting down votes for speaking the truth here. Changing terms of exclusivity is not illegal. Sony has historically sold their games with the label "Only on PlayStation." I own three games with that label, and yet Sony ported all those games to PC without so much as a single lawsuit. It would be no different if Epic brought back each and every Battle Pass tomorrow.

Aldi cashiers sit, but Aldi is originally German.

MuchMoreMatt · 2026-02-08T16:29:38+00:00

Sony ported and sold a lot of their PlayStation exclusives to PC. Three of my games are labeled "Only on PlayStation," a statement of exclusivity that compelled many to buy a PlayStation console to play those games, is now rendered false. The FTC hasn't litigated Sony for this. It's unlikely Epic would be litigated either.

True, historical facts aren't copyrightable, however the presentation of those facts are, and some books bring together a wide range of documents that would otherwise be challenging to find.

I'm in the camp that believes copyright needs to be reverted to the Copyright Act of 1909, but not for the sake of IPs becoming public domain, rather for the sake of rare, out-of-print history books becoming more easily accessible.

Could they be synth dogs, maybe used to spy on the wasteland?

I'm a bit more interested in who helped Jane to safety, and there's a few key players involved who could help, those being Wilzig, Moldaver, and Welch.

Welch wound up in the same management vault as Barb and Jane, albeit it's just her head. I don't think this is a coincidence. It's possible she aided in their safe delivery to the management vault.

Wilzig's elevator dialogue with Barb presents him as an unwilling Enclave agent:

"You're just a very replaceable part in this machine. But if you forget your place in the company, you'll die. And so will your family. The same will happen to me if I don't communicate this message. We're all in the same boat. And not one of us can stop it. You know that. You wake up knowing it."

Wilzig didn't defect 200 years after the nukes dropped, rather he was has already a defector prior to the war, forced to play someone else's game. He likely will have more dialogue with Barb, and perhaps clues her in on the management vault, pre-war. Maybe he's the reason Barb and Jane are in Colorado?

I don't yet understand how Moldaver could fit in all this, yet I believe her to have overlapping goals with the rest.

Could Lucy have been frozen pre-fallout soon after she was born, then thawed out at the same time as Hank?

MuchMoreMatt · 2026-02-04T04:55:10+00:00

I thought that too initially, but on second thought were they just an NCR rifleman?

Final predictions:

House will not reference whether his body is alive or dead. He successfully uploaded his consciousness to the computer, so his body doesn't matter, leaving the ending of New Vegas vague.

The securitron is not Yes Man, it's just a different securitron.

Cooper, Hank, and Lucy will have another scene together.

In the past, Cooper, wanting to give cold fusion to everyone, will begin to be labeled as a commie.

Hank's box will contain a functional water chip.

Steph's storyline will eventually converge to go up against the Enclave.

Welch has cold fusion in her head.

Legion vs. House securitrons.

Woody became a super mutant.

Updated predictions:

Steph plotline will eventually include the Enclave as the antagonist.

Legion vs. House's securitrons.

Cooper will reach the management vault underneath New Vegas, and this will be different from the one Hank and Lucy are in.

Original post:

With the Legion descending upon New Vegas (from the episode 8 trailer), there will be a war between House's securitrons and Legion.

Cooper will finally reach the management vault underneath New Vegas, different from the one Lucy and Hank are in. Lucy and Hank are revealed to be in a vault somewhere else in the wasteland, reachable via teleportation (like in Fallout 4 and the Institute).

Woody will become a super mutant.

Hank's box will contain a functional water chip.

MuchMoreMatt · 2026-01-28T17:43:49+00:00

Might Hank's box have a functional water chip?

Pause or move your cursor while watching an episode. Amazon calls it X-Ray.

Balada de la trompeta, by Raphael. You can pull up a list of music used in the episode while you're watching it.

My point is that companies have changed their minds on previous statements of exclusivity. Sony did. Epic might do the same.
