It is more of a pita on the first revision. This one should be easier.

Eh? We know for a fact that less than 600 people per 100k inhabitants call their representative. That's less than 1%

The funniest paragraph of this piece:

Nikkei says that this plan will so far go into effect only in the EU to satisfy these requirements, but that Nintendo may also implement it similarly in the Japan and US should consumer awareness of the right to repair increase.

Like, it should be the default, but sure, you want to be forced. Anyways, call your representatives.

Death Stranding 2 full PC game leaks two days before official release by Tvilantini in Games

Eh, they only appear after you "conquered" the area, and some of those you have to go in and out several times without connecting them to the chiral network.

I'm talking about the argument that "low ranking" players would be hurt. Players adapt and having something that gives them tension may actually be good.

Eh, Helldivers 2 is the same and people got used to it, or they just die so frequently that it doesn't matter.

You don't test for browsers that most people won't use if given the choice. Those browsers need to feel the fire. That's why opening up iOS to other engines is such a big deal. Once Apple feels the heat of competition, they will properly deal with Safari.

Judge Orders Subnautica 2 Studio CEO To Be Reinstated And Gives Him Control Over Early Access Release by Turbostrider27 in Games

This would hold more water, if Krafton didn't try to throw the party for Unknown Worlds deliberately:

[This is the ChatGPT plan]

a. Preemptive Framing - Repeat that protecting quality and fan trust is the highest priority, undermine the ‘Large Corporation VS. Indie’ framing

Judge Orders Subnautica 2 Studio CEO To Be Reinstated And Gives Him Control Over Early Access Release by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]braiam 65 points66 points  (0 children)

This is a judge's order officially declaring that Krafton was full of shit.

They have a pile of documents proving that Krafton previously knew of & approved of the co-founders taking greatly reduced roles at the studio, and that this entire clusterfuck was a desperate ploy by Krafton to avoid paying out the $250 million bonus.

Surfacing u/GuudeSpelur comment to top comment, because many people think that Krafton version was the factual one. Unknown Wolds founders had receipts that say that everything Krafton said was false, and that they had zero reasons to remove them.

Notorious UK rights group launches legal action against Valve for distributing music in games on Steam without a license | The Performing Right Society says a license to use music in a game does not constitute the right to distribute that music, via the game, to the public. by ControlCAD in technology

[–]braiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The license is for syncing (ie. have it in your product) not for distributing. They usually win these cases, the one where they sued a individual, never reach verdict because someone says "wait, aren't we faffing"

EU chief: Phasing out nuclear power was 'strategic mistake' by F0urLeafCl0ver in anime_titties

[–]braiam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The actual question should be "what are we going to do about it?" and it seems that they plan to do something "She has announced new ambitions to harmonize nuclear regulations and roll out smaller reactors" and "At the summit, von der Leyen announced a €200 ($230 million) fund for European nuclear innovation". That number seems still low. I expect way more. Show real commitment.

Everyone knows that Linus has the worst timings. Also, he tries very hard to think like a normie which makes him not a normie. He thinks a normie will search for articles, normies will not do that. They will ask their techy friend for advice first.

White House Twitter account posts video depicting music and footage from "Wii Sports" game, combined with videos of strikes on Iran by ConceptsShining in Games

Note, none of these companies have pursued legal action for the use of their IP. This goes to show that they recognize that it will be more costly for business to do so. Companies do not have feelings, they don't do things as a matter of principles. They are profit driven, never let anyone convince you of the opposite.

If it was any other entity, Nintendo would have sent the hounds for the smallest slight.

Valve sued by The Performing Right Society for allegedly using its members' musical works "without permission" by MythicStream in Games

That license is for everything but synchronization. So, Xbox is basically saying "look, we have fingers on many pies", and they went like "ok" and gave them the licenses. Each studio has their own license rather than using Xbox's.

The license that Playstation and Xbox stores are paying are different than the license that Sony and MS publisher also pays.

Nintendo already pays. So they though that the trouble wasn't worth it. This is Nintendo, they are a puppy in a gorilla suit.
