  • Maybe we wouldn’t have to be such condescending dickheads if you cared to not make up stuff.

    the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames without the involvement from the side of the publisher.

    That’s the core idea. Publishers should just make sure that after they milked their product it can somehow be run without their interference.

    That doesn’t require sources. In fact, this doesn’t even state any method that is preferred. Could they release sources? Sure. They could also release server binaries. They could also patch out the connection to their servers and only leave people with local multiplayer mode or something. They could do whatever. The initiative doesn’t care.

    The practice of licensing a product indefinitely but then just disabling it remotely is hostile to consumers. If they really, really want to keep their business model, they should sell licenses that are limited to a certain timeframe right from the start. Selling perpetual licenses and then disabling them without leaving consumers with any means to still access what they paid for shouldn’t be legal and probably isn’t.

    Also this right here:

    The initiative does not seek to acquire ownership of said videogames, associated intellectual rights or monetization rights, neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state.

    Nobody wants your ip. Just don’t break stuff you sold.





  • “I’m very for [the United States vetting] Iranian nationals because of the sleeper cells,” Sahakyan told Fox 11. “I think it will resolve a lot of issues because we’ll know exactly who’s in here for what reasons, even though I miss [my wife] dearly.”

    Unbelievable. Just unbelievable. They’re married! It’s a family bond! Imagine being married to a person that’s like “sure, they took my spouse to a torture prison on foreign soil so I’d never see them or even their grave again, but they’re torturing them for the greater good™️, so while I kind of miss them, I’m sure it’s for the best of everyone. It was fun while it lasted.”

    If I ever returned, I’d skin them alive. That, too, I think would resolve a lot of issues.











  • This is good… But the webtoons link just takes me straight to a page that tells me to register and log in or get fucked and I know that Instagram does the same. Any source for the full comic that doesn’t require me to log in to some shitty service? Is there a physical copy available in Europe?
