Game mechanics should not be patentable, change my mind.
That sounds like very little evidence to me. Literally doesn’t even have a citation.
I still don’t know how half the games at timezone can be allowed for kids.
The best sims game is The Sims Bustin’ Out.
I use PIA, cheap and they’ve been involved in at least 2 court cases where their no logging policies were proven.
That is supposedly the case in Australia as well but I haven’t got a letter from telstra since around 2004 and I have never used a VPN and watch all my shows and movies via torrents so either I’m extremely lucky or they stopped bothering.
Though recently I started paying the $4 / month for Real Debrid for better streaming performance, which is just as good as a VPN for torrent anonymity. I used to be fundamentally against the idea of paying anything to pirate but honestly this is worth it, I’ve even been able to watch a few shows that had 0 seeders because they were previously cached.
Possible, but “in debt” can equally mean you just owe the money, it doesn’t have to mean bankrupt with the debt on top of it. If you owe your credit card company 10k you’re in debt 10k until you pay them, regardless of whether you have 1 million in the bank. Same if you have student loans etc.
Would it still apply if it’s not Google forcing it, but simply giving developers the choice? This doesn’t seem any different to putting code in your game to make sure it was launched from the epic games store for example.
I mean if we’re just naming a price you could say something like 100m+, invest it for profit for X amount of time and either intentionally or unintentionally slip up at some point, pay back the original and be pretty nicely set with no further catch.
Sure it’s clearly not within the spirit of the question, but still.
I use DWService. Now everyone go ahead and tell me why I’m stupid.
PlayStation making you pay for their highest sub tier just to access demos.
In fairness, it was never legal to make thousands of copies of that VHS tape and hand them out en masse. Which is how you’re getting it when you download it, from someone doing exactly that.
OK ok, what if I tone it down to, I still have to make it, but it will always be perfectly done, never over or under rcooked what I intended.
If I had a supper power, it’d be the ability to conjure the most delicious and satisfying meals instantly.
You could implement this for some shows and movies, but there’s one big problem. Disney shouldn’t have exclusivity rights to their own IPs? Netflix should have to give everyone else the shows they pay for and produce?
I get where you’re coming from in theory, but in practice it doesn’t make sense. It would be like saying Nintendo must release their games on xbox and playstation.
But have you ever seen them in the same movie together?
