They could’ve at least had an “accidental data breach” or something instead of just sitting on their hands telling everyone else how cool the thing they can’t have is

A lot of total asset replacement mods and ports require some form of check against a legitimate copy, such that they aren’t distributing copies of a game, just a way for people to modify their own copy. It isn’t a flawless legal defense, far from it, but it’s a whole lot better than just getting hit with “you’re just outright distributing a copy of someone else’s game”
Yeah, here’s the thing. I ain’t paying for Netflix, and I don’t like games-as-a-service in the first place. I barely hold a positive view of xbox gamepass, and thats entirely because it’s a cheap way to (legally) play a lot of one-and-done games. This is with Microsoft having access to decades of successful games, and control of major studios and platforms.
It’s very likely that as a part of whatever existing deal he has with EA, he had to specifically sign some form of non-competition clause that made it so he can’t just leave and make “shmalice in shmonderland” and say it’s technically distinct, despite being the obvious follow up to the games owned by EA. Greedy? Yeah. But it’s not like he didn’t know what he was signing up for. There’s plenty of other options for publishers out there who are perfectly willing to not give a fuck about your IP, and just want up front cash and/or a cut of sales. The downside being that, unlike someone like EA, theyre going to have a much more limited reach in terms of getting your game on store shelves, and getting ads in front of eyeballs, if they even do that much.
Why is minimum specs the only one to have a specific intel cpu and ryzen equivalent when every other category is ryzen cpu or Intel equivalent? Is it some convoluted way to throw shade at Intel or something
It’s even funnier when you realize that arguably their biggest competitors back in the day, Nintendo and Sega, both have far better claims to being 50+ years old, with both having continuous operations since. Bonus points to Nintendo for being over 100 years old.
