Quoting: ssj17vegetaAs a non-american, just asking : can Nintendo be sued for this ? Is there such a thing in US law as a "counter-DMCA" or "abusive use of copyright laws" ?

The question is not uninteresting, but as things went, it seems they didn't do anything "official" in the first place, just answering Valve's question, so in this case, it's very unlikely.

Quoting: benstor214“People who emulate games are all committing piracy.”

I can't remember somebody saying this. Could you cite it please?

That’s the nice thing: you don’t need to! You just have to murky the waters and blur the line between emulation, game preservation and piracy. You only need to place one group near to the other and subsequently insinuate that there is no difference between both groups at all. Sooner than not game preservationists are deemed criminal and Nintendo’s upper management opens a bottle of champagne to celebrate the successes of the hard-working minions in forums and comment sections.

I prefer people citing what has actually been said and react to that instead of making up quotes. It always makes it look like they wouldn't trust their arguments enough.

Quoting: Mountain ManRight, "game preservation", by which most people mean "free games". :tongue:

"Most" and "all" is a huge difference, and you know that.

As mostly a puzzler and point and click player, I was surprised by the jumping (you should use a controller!) and underwhelmed by the puzzle difficulty in parts of the game. Jokingly called it a "twin-stick puzzler" in my review. The difficulty does rise in the later levels though, so, worth to get and play!

Quoting: eldakingBut you have just zeroed on one of my main issues with the franchise: they are trying too hard to sell a AAA game, not a good strategy game. Their marketing always, always is just close-ups of individual soldiers or big aerial shots of the terrain, with no HUD, no images of the tech trees or building screens or economic overlays or anything. From the store pages and press releases, they look almost ashamed of the gameplay they created, because nothing of it is shown. It is all 3D models that you wouldn't even see during normal gameplay (you never zoom in that much) and bullshots.

I had that feeling with FIFA. I didn't have the faintest for years what the actual gameplay might look like, because they always showed closeups of players.

Outlast was too much for me. Gave up in the DLC.

Seriously... Isn't big picture mode something a GTX 950 should do single-handed, hardware accelerated or not?!? I guess I'm missing something here, but I don't know what.

Quoting: RTherenNative version was released today (I helped with testing, and didn't ran into issues, so it should be fine).

I bought the game recently and found I could not read the lore. I can click the lore items, but it won't get displayed...

Quoting: EikeAs usual... Linux is just more user friendly! :D

No it's not, but that is not the issue.

I'm sure you're aware it was said jokingly, but I have to add what just happened to me...

My printer is out of magenta ink and states it can only print black and white. From Windows, I couldn't print (having set everything to black and white), to the disappointment of my little ones. Today I tried it on Linux, and it just worked.

Yes, sometimes Linux is just more user friendly.
My little ones agree. ;)
