  • Dev says "false DMCA" from Microsoft got their sandbox game removed from Steam over apparent Minecraft copyright, all because of a screenshot of birch trees

  • There's a difference between saying something is inspired by X vs saying something is copying X.

    OpenTTD is a great example because it has its own selection of art assets that look like the original, but aren't copying the original art. The open art assets are inspired by the original. But OpenTTD doesn't come with the original assets nor can it make exact copies of the original assets because that would be copying the original.

    I'm not against being inspired by something, Allumeria dev has been pretty open that the game is inspired by Minecraft. But the people I've been arguing with here have the opinion (at least it seems to be that way) that Allumeria is copying Minecraft. It is a bad precedent to say Allumeria is copying Minecraft (not just for Allumeria but a lot of Minecraft "clones" because the blocky style limits quite a lot of what you can artistically do) and it would be a bad precedent to say openTTD assets were copying original TTD assets, because that could be grounds for copyright which could lead to openTTD assets having to be scrapped.

  • Because it sets a really bad precedent. It's the equivalent of looking at an eastern-european forest in a game and being "that game is ripping off the Witcher 3". No, that's just how forests look like in the real world. And that's just how scenery looks in a block game. Are block games not supposed to have forests and caves in their games because Minecraft popularized them first?

  • Americans Want Accountability With the Epstein Files. Elites Couldn't Care Less

  • Not to defend Trump but Biden sat on those files for most of his presidency and did nothing with them. This isn't just a convicted felon not giving a shit about justice for the crimes he himself is tied to, this is both sides of the political aisle giving the wealthy a free pass on their absolutely depravity.

  • Which is an irrelevant point because it's a singular image, and one that is depicting only nature which by nature (pun wasn't intended) is generic. And to prove my point what is the first game that comes to mind when you see this image?

  • Actually the developer has been pretty open that while Minecraft was their inspiration the game the reason they started working on Allumeria is because in their eyes Minecraft has almost fundamental design flaws that Mojang are unwilling to fix. And while Minecraft was part of their inspiration another part of inspiration was Terraria and to directly quote the developer:

    You could say that I try and take the gameplay of Terraria and combine it with the 3d block based world of Minecraft

    So I don't think the game counts as "More Minecraft" because the developer gameplay-wise is taking a lot more inspiration from Terraria than Minecraft.

  • Hytale looks like Minecraft with a texture pack and shaders. Every Minecraft inspired block based game looks like Minecraft with a texture pack and shader.

    Oh and MS just withdrew their copyright claim because it was bullshit from the start.

  • Did you even look into it or did you just do what the AI generating the DMCA did and looked at a singular image and decided it looks like Minecraft?

  • I wasn't saying that we need another blatant cash grab. I was actually implying that if you want the IP to stay even remotely relevant you need to start looking beyond the RTS genre because that genre doesn't pay the bills.

    But since you went there, yeah I'd absolutely take who knows how many cash grab attempts if it means even a chance of getting some great games. I'm going to point at Warhammer because the other person also brought it up. Warhammer 40k franchise is also full of "cash grabs". But between those cash grabs are absolute gems like Space Marine 1 and 2, Dawn of War series, Darktide, Rogue trader. If we rejected all Warhammer games as "blatant cash grabs" we'd actually be worse off. I'm not saying whatever shooter they're working on is going to be great or anything of the sorts, but I'm not going to instantly dismiss it because it might be a cash grab. I'll form that opinion when I've actually seen something more than an industry source stating they're working on a shooter.

  • Its not that donald trump is for sure a pedophile. Its that there are 350 million people in the USA and there is no need to make someone where its even a question president.

  • So I do get it because that was two sentences?

  • At this point I don't even understand what the fuck you're saying? Are you saying I can make false statements as long as they're two sentences or less? So I can call you a pedo and that's completely fine because it's a single sentence not a thesis?

  • So you would rather get no Starcraft games than get a Starcraft game that is not an RTS?

    Because I don't know if you've looked at the numbers but RTS is pretty much dead. One of the biggest RTS-s of the past 5 years was a remaster of Age of Mythology and that sold less than a million units. Starcraft 3 would have to sell something like 3 million units at launch and have an estimate of hitting at least 7 million in 2 years, because ActiBliz has certain expectation for sales and those expectations far exceed what Starcraft 2 sold in its entire lifetime. Starcraft would have to sell Diablo numbers.

    I'd be very surprised if we ever saw another mainline Starcraft RTS. I don't think we'll be seeing another Warcraft RTS either.

  • Really living up to that republican brain. Please read again what I asked.

    please do a breakdown of your rule and explain how you get severity instead of bias.

    Seems I need to spell it out what that means. This entire comment tree is about whether the title of your post makes sense or not. I'm claiming it doesn't make sense because if you apply it objectively to all the presidential candidates it makes it very easy to dismiss a candidate because only questioning is enough to consider someone unfit. You're arguing it makes sense because of "severity". You do not use that word in your title and I don't see a single instance of anything indicating anything about "severity". For your argument to make any sense you need to explain how severity is derived from your title. If you add severity after the fact then that just proves the original title didn't make sense.

  • Well then, please do a breakdown of your rule and explain how you get severity instead of bias. Show me how I'm wrong.

    But somehow I doubt you're going to do that because deep down you know you're wrong and you just can't admit being wrong. Instead you're going to make some vague excuse how you can't be bothered to try and explain to an imbecile like me who truly lacks critical thinking and is intellectually dishonest. Don't be like every dipshit I've had the displeasure of talking to, be special, take a stand.

  • I see, you're republican-brained. Trump is bad so him having pedo accusations (regardless of evidence) makes him unfit while Biden is good so him having pedo accusations (regardless of evidence) doesn't make him unfit.

    This is where we differ because I'm actually consistent in how I apply rules. If Biden gets called a pedo and there are no evidence I don't think it matters. If Trump gets called a pedo and there are no evidence I don't think it matters. Just because either is called a pedo it doesn't matter. The evidence of Trump being a pedo came after the election so, to be consistent, him being called one during the campaign doesn't matter. Had the Epstein files released under Biden there would've been evidence and that would make him unfit.

    The only reason I "defended" Trump is because I was actually defending all presidents. Nobody should be considered unfit because of a baseless accusation, regardless of what you personally feel about the candidate. And just to be clear for your republican brain, because you think I'm wrong because you don't like me, I don't think Trump is fit to be president. He wasn't fit the first time around and based on his first presidency he definitely wasn't fit the second time around.

  • I wrote a big ass essay on what your words means and how stupid that meaning is, and then I deleted it because I doubt you'd actually read it. If you were that literate you wouldn't be vehemently defending the stupid shit you wrote.

    How about you pull Trumps head out of your ass and apply your statement to ANY other past or future presidential candidate. Let's say in the future AOC runs for president and the republicans call her a pedo. Do you think that's enough to make her unfit to be president? Because that is exactly what your title is saying, that simply by questioning whether she's a pedo (doesn't matter how obvious the answer would be) she'd no longer be fit to be president.
