Oh, I just saw she links to cs.rin.ru last night while looking for solutions.

Also, wasn’t being serious anyway

Obviously it’s because God gave you the gift of being able to browse the Internet effectively while doing the deed

On the one hand, oh no, not the fitgirl repacks!

On the other, I spent an hour last night failing to get my controller to work with her repack of Yakuza kiwami, so maybe it’s for the best…

Are you misreading “preparing” as literally any writing?Even that Wikipedia article goes into fair use. Let’s plays are potential infringement because people make money from them. There’s stuff like that one Switch emulator that got taken down a while back because it had a direct effect on Nintendo’s ability to sell hardware. But there’s also stuff like PokeMMO which has been allowed to persist because they don’t actually distribute any Nintendo code and Nintendo isn’t selling those games anymore.

What effect on the market can there be for a fan remaster of a 20 year old game that isn’t for sale anymore? Hard to argue that doesn’t fall under fair use.

For sure they might try to send a c&d, but it wouldn’t have any legal standing. Whether you have the funds to fight frivolous bullshit like that is one thing, but you can’t get a c&d in the first place if you never put your art out. Even then, all you’d have to do is stop distributing it yourself, but at least it’d be out there

Why would it be a problem unless he was making money? People are allowed to write fanfic and make fan movies and whatnot. The line isn’t crossed until money changes hands. Seems like a fan game would fall under that same kind of category

Unless they were trying to charge people for it, I’m pretty sure there would have been nothing stopping a release

What the US did in Iraq and Afghanistan was wrong, no doubt. There’s a lot of reasons for that, ranging from who was actually responsible for 9/11 to all the actual violence between the civilians and soldiers. But systematic extermination is NOT one of those reasons. What Israel is doing in Gaza is 1000x worse. Equating it to how the US conducted its affairs minimizes what’s actually happening, muddying the water and keeping people from feeling like they should actually be doing anything about it.

Leaving it to rot for 15 years was far more unjust than a slightly less “revolutionary” game. And the concepts they show in the new doc are cool as hell! I would have loved to shoot at blobmonster! They just decided singleplayer FPS games weren’t as profitable, and that’s fine, I guess. They’re a company, they want to make money. But pretending they were somehow doing us a favor by leaving the cliffhanger for so long is utter nonsense. Especially since they wound up simply retconning it so the whole wait was pointless anyway!

Edit: y’all they literally said in the doc that if they’d kept working on it for 1-2 more years they would have been able to complete it, but they were more interested in multiplayer games and went to go work on that. But if you really want to drink the self-aggrandizing bs that Newell spouts, go right ahead

Or he watched one (1) JJ Abrams movie and is just trying to use the cool kids’ space jargon in an attempt to get people on his side

They’ve admitted to cancelling ideas before, getting to various stages of production before going back to the drawing board, but always (and appear to still) insist that it is in development on some level. That’s why Newell’s responses to questions about hl3 are usually some form of “we have nothing new to share.” Valve doesn’t like sharing until they’re in the final stages of development, and hl3 has never made it that far.

When I look at the steam store Portal has a price tag of $9.99.

Portal didn’t come out until 2007 with the orange box, which also had hl2: episode 2 (and tf2), but the base game of hl2 came out standalone in 2004. This giveaway is a celebration of hl2’s 20th anniversary, so maybe they’ll do a portal giveaway in 2027.

I think most of them simply opt to not use the Internet as often
