I'm against the death penalty because I don't believe it should be necessary in a just world, nor should the state ever be trusted with that kind of power.
However, I see the guillotine as symbolizing the last resort in an unjust world. The worst monsters in society commit their injustices in broad daylight, and nothing will be done about it. We know that justice will never be served through the courts. So what then?
Kura5: Bonds of the Undying - Boktai is extremely near and dear to my childhood, so much so that when the third game didn't get localized I convinced my parents to sign me up for Japanese lessons on the weekend (and then didn't get far in it because I had too much actual schoolwork to keep up with, but I've started studying on my own again as an adult now just for fun). I've been following this fangame since the first demo came out several years back. Full game finally came out last year... and sat on my backlog for a year. Finally got around to it, and wow, demo was already great but I'm really in love with the finished product. Story is fantastic, does a great job building on the original series' lore.
King of Fighters XIII - Dusted this off for some casual sets with a friend. I still have no real combos for anyone but Kula, I'm bad at confirming in games that don't let me just do LMH -> BnB.
Balatro - Only three decks left to Gold Stake. I'm telling myself I will not go for the stickers, I shouldn't do it, I won't do it.
Chunithm, Wacca, Maimai - New arcade opened up last month and is threatening to drain my wallet.
Steam Forums are one of the worst hellholes I've seen on the modern internet, and Valve does nothing. Any game that gets declared a target by the post-Gamergate crowd ends up having its board seiged until it's unusable for any kind of actual discussion.
That's an answer for you as a consumer, but the article is from the perspective of the industry. If no one ever bought new games, game development would not be sustainable.

If I really love the game enough, I'll put up with jumping through hoops to play it, but it does get frustrating when the games I like are a lot more convenient to play than the games I love.
Only if Nintendo goes after something that could be defended as parody. But they know to choose their battles carefully, they only threaten legal action when they know they can win, and this won't change those kinds of cases.
They should have. But they won't.
