  The US so broken that if they want to apologize, SCOTUS, congress, and the senate are have to each as a whole go around to every Provincial capital and apologize on their knees. After they threatened to invade Canada and Denmark we demand no less. The legislative branch is equally guilty, they are just letting this happen. And yes we don’t care if it was 51% of the executive branch, the dems are part of the problem.

  What are your ideas on determining an expiry date? A studio has no idea if they are going to be supporting a game for 5 weeks or 5 years. There is no fair number. When you are out of money you are out of money. If you let the studios decide, they will pick 1 day. If you set it at 1 year, only the unicorns and AAA can afford to stay in business. It would probably be more profitable and better for business to forgo the EU release altogether. No exaggeration. It will even save a bunch of money on localization. The studios will weaponized capitalism.

  What does that even mean? Are you implying that you can predict sales numbers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The European Commission's answer to SKG: "The Commission considers that at this stage it cannot propose a legal obligation to keep video games playable after they stop being provided commercially."⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You get x amount of money to make a game. When you release, you used all of that x amount of money to make the game. You don’t sell well and did not recoup the cost of making the game. Now you have negative dollars to make any changes in the game. The end.

  They are down voting you because you are the one being reasonable. SKG unleashes the rabid horde of people that don’t understand math or budgeting. Stop Killing Games is actually “Kill All Indie Dev Studios” because only AAA can afford to stay in compliance. Do you people want to only have games from EA or Ubisoft? It sure does seem that people want to play Call of Duty games, because that is going to be the only thing left.

  I had no idea two steam apps could have the same name. It does make sense though, you pay for an app for every prototype and not all prototypes make it to development. There would be a lot of wasted names. I wonder that if you apply for an IARC rating first, it will block them. Dm me if you want to know the no cost, zero effort way to do it.

  It’s mind boggling how many people don’t know the origins of modern conservatism. The nobles that escaped having their heads chopped off with the king in France formed a political party to conserve the old hierarchical system to retain control of the country. From the start they are only motivated by power. If you ever wondered why they don’t really have any values or moral compass, that is the answer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To push a release for a game you need to package it. It’s one thing to have no more ci/cd, you could technically build, package, and deploy on a workstation. But without source you can’t even do that because the build system is part of the source code. A game is a few hundred gigs of pure data and it needs to be packed to make it playable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fallout: New Vegas dev says don't expect a remaster, argues Bethesda doesn't have the source code or 'the engineering knowhow'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eventually you will want to change the lighting or fix a high severity bug. You need the source to recompile or repackage.

  The last 75 years of nothing is because of Neoliberalism. It is not conventially profitable to spend government funds on scientific exploration. Government funds are used to counter tax breaks to the wealthy and corporations. Along with just stealing the money through various means.
