Removing a country from the UN for doing horrible things would defeat the UN’s entire purpose.

Only thing I can think of are maybe the catching mechanics (which are straight out of Legends: Arceus). No idea if these would be considered unique enough to be patentable, guess we’ll find out.
Crazy, that tactic sounds straight out of a science fiction novel - 80s science-fiction, given it’s pagers, but still… I really wonder how they pulled it off. Did the IDF design the explosive pagers in the first place or did they find some insane hardware/software flaw that allowed that kind of remote explosion?
Reading the full statement, it sounds to me like there was more to it than just the game’s development coming to an end. It sounds like it might have been a very sudden decision by the publisher, with possible negative consequences for the development team.
In principle I agree though, there is no issue with a game just being finished at some point, especially a single player one. But I also don’t mind continued updates and/or DLC.
Reddit not being the entire internet doesn’t mean that every bit of information on reddit is also available elsewhere.
Obscure old reddit posts saved my ass so many times when coming across random tech problems. So while I understand why people delete their accounts, from a personal point of view I appreciate when people leave them up.
That is very much not their official website. Looks pretty sketchy in fact, with that “GTA V Download APK” link on the bottom.
I don’t agreee with it starting the wrong conversation. Something does need to be done about companies denying access to a game you bought and that’s the conversation it starts. If this proposal lands on the EU negotiation table, I can guarantee you that the games industry will lobby against it, and heavily. There is no chance the EU will just go “OK sounds good, make it so!”. Heck, the chances are higher that if they pass an actual law, it will be so watered down that it won’t do anything at all. But then at least we tried.
I’ve watched his first video, but I really don’t agree with many of his points. He only barely acknowledges this being a proposal and then gets lost in the details. He’s clearly against any measures that have the slightest potential to be a disadvantage for game developers, which I guess is understandable from his perspective as a developer. But he doesn’t seem to particularly care about the consumer’s rights, basically saying the problem is solved as soon as the publisher makes it clear at purchase that people are only buying a temporary license. He’s also trying to discredit supporters of the initiative by saying they don’t know how the industry works, despite quite a few people in the industry supporting the initiative as well.
Really doesn’t matter whether the proposal as it is in the petition is completely realistic or not. The point is to get this topic into the EU parliament. It’ll be their job to work out a solution that works for both consumers and developers.
Unilever‘s ice cream brand has various different names in different countries.
Not without the encryption key, no.
It’s not new, nor is it AI. Predictive text suggestions have been in Android for ages now.
The Sky devs managed to do it somehow in any case. Could be the windows touchscreen API.
What makes the experience not enjoyable for you?
Paying online, not playing online. I misread it at first too.
Man, the state of the games industry is just sad to see. Also makes me question my career working in an adjacent field, despite my job being safe for now…
Those 2019 people were just another year away from finding out what an actually crazy year looks like.
I’d be surprised if any of them didn’t catch it.
The UN was created after WW2 to prevent another world war and have a diplomatic channel between all countries that is always open. It’s far from perfect, but it’s definitely better than what we had before.
