  • I would think that in general it comes down to understanding what “ownership” is and that it has been taken from us, replaced with “licensing”

    Your mistake is thinking that the average person

    1. Knows that this is happening/has happened, since it’s rarely clearly or prominently stated,
    2. Understands what it means, since it doesn’t often affect them,
    3. And in the uncommon scenario where both 1 and 2 are met: actually cares at all.

    It’s wild, because it used to be that you bought a movie and it didn’t matter that the rights ran out you could still watch your fucking movie in your own home.

    I understand the concern and I’m sure it does happen, but I have literally never heard this complaint from a single person that I actually know. What movies/services has this actually happened to?

    No argument against anything you said related to copyright laws, just to be clear.





  • This was clearly inevitable even before they chased away every customer they’ve ever had and every potential customer that has ever looked into the engine. Now that so many people have jumped ship, I would not be surprised if this was just the first of many such moves.

    Fucking morons running this company, that’s for sure. Way to just give away what was easily the greatest market share that they will ever see.





  • alleging that the publisher had breached obligations of their agreement in purchasing Versus Evil. tinyBuild announced in a recent trading update that they had settled the litigation, agreeing to pay the claimants “$3.5 million in cash (in addition to legal costs).”

    …are you allowed to have layoffs after receiving a $3.5M settlement from your publisher? I know everyone will be feeling bad for the devs but this sounds sketchy as hell of them
