I just meant that it last a lot longer than the few months it was a real problem. Like, I feel like we all talked about it for years and it affected their business.
I somehow expect that won’t happen here considering how popular McD is worldwide, that’s all I mean.
- Comment on Warcraft 30th Anniversary Direct on 13 November - WoW 1 month ago:
sigh You’re right.
Having said that, if they happen to fix Warcraft 3 Reforged, they might get on my good books. I’m not that hopeful for it, but I want a version of the game from 20 years ago that isn’t busted and can be played online again lol.

This is a double-whammy PR nightmare.
Are we going to do what happened with Jack in the Box in the naughts and start associating E Coli with McDonalds? I remember hearing that FUD so much back then and now that the shoe is on the other foot, I wonder what will happen. 🤔 Not to engage in the fast food wars or anything, but also fuck McDonalds for helping this fat ass at all.

- Comment on How do you even post that much 2 months ago:
Somehow I fell into the routine, motivated by wanting to see communities grow on lemmy, and I’ve just kept going.
That’s the spirit of the pre-2010s internet for you, the energy that made the sites we have today in the first place.

- Comment on Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair 2 months ago:
You could almost say… Parodied 😯
Right, legally speaking that would be covered in the US.
But Japanese law is completely different and IIRC parodies are not covered which is why anime always sensors their parody references to other anime. It’s stupid, but it’s the society that both developers are from.
Only time will tell what they’re actually accusing Pocket Pair of doing though.

I’m pretty sure I saw the same tweet from Stephen Totilllo (sp?) just to give you some credence, but I think many people called him out for it as it was below his usual reporting standards.
We’ll have to wait and see when the case developers further.
- Comment on Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair 2 months ago:
But if it’s just about the concept of “collecting monsters” and using them in battles somehow, then they can go fuck themselves.
I don’t think it would be that because it would be unenforceable. There are plenty of games where you collect monsters, some of which existed before Pokemon’s creation and plenty that have existed after. It would be the King Kong case all over again, but inverted.
- Comment on Nintendo and Pokémon are suing Palworld maker Pocketpair 2 months ago:
Without a doubt, Patents and Software are a bad mix.
But there’s definitely a truth to the idea that Palworld in particular were aiming for a legal battle against Nintendo from the beginning with provocative action. There’s a reason why Nintendo has rarely gone after Pokemon-likes but have decided that this particular company is worth pursuing.
This is kind of a lose-lose situation. Palworld was clearly kit-bashing existing Pokemon models and were engaging in creative bankruptcy, but software/game patents serve only to hurt creatives and developers around the world and Japan in particular is poor around SLAP suits.
So, I agree, grab the popcorn. But I hope that whatever patents they’re choosing to enforce here don’t have a major ripple in game development as a whole. There’s a world with the brazen IP theft of palworld actually does us all a disservice by making it an easier case for Nintendo to enforce Patents that would otherwise be unenforceable or difficult purely out of optics.

I noticed this as well. It’s a shame as I still use it as my daily search driver.

2024 is the year of a lot of gaming and gaming-tangential products being made with a ridiculous price tag but not a clear audience of people who ever asked for it. 🤔

- Comment on Valve bans Razer and Wooting’s new keyboard features in Counter-Strike 2 3 months ago:
This is 100% justified.
These types of features have been regulated in fighting games for a long time. The ideal situation here would be for Razer to open source their firmware and establish a community-driven approved firmware design and let valve greenlight a specific configuration which can be parsed by the game’s executable (or, for tournaments, can be flashed for valid gameplay).
That’s my 2 cents at least.

- Comment on Paradox CEO admits company made "wrong calls in several projects" in wake of Life By You's cancellation 4 months ago:
Right,
It seems like they realized with Cities Skylines 2 that their QA and overall output quality had to be higher and Life By You’s state must have been in such a position that they weren’t confident they could turn it around.
Ultimately, they need to do some good-will gesture around CS2 in order to gain the trust of the sim audience again and I don’t think it should be that difficult for them to course correct that game (though how they market it and get it in people’s hands is another question…)
