Dumb name change. Don't know why they felt the need to do that. Also, boo AI.

Where has the EFF been all this time? This is the first I've heard of them getting involved. Did they run out of funding or something??

I've never used Ubuntu, and now I definitely never will. I want nothing to do with AI. I've gone out of my way to avoid it.

I don't think this will last much longer. I can see Amazon getting out of the game business entirely in the not-too-distant future. It will be interesting to see if they try to sell Twitch when that happens, and who would buy it, as I don't think there are many companies that would want it, due to all that's involved in running it and because it has been a money loser for years.

While UFC-Que Choisir won the initial trial, Valve won the appeal, and the Cour de cassation (the French equivalent to the US' Supreme Court) upheld the appeal's ruling.

So you're saying France's legal system is just as corrupt as the US? That's depressing.

I feel like you're putting words in my mouth here.

Don't see how. That was the conclusion I came to based on what you said. Not my problem if you want to take it that way.

Considering we're starting to have a big problem with the measles making a come back where I live because of idiot anti-vaxxers refusing to vaccinate their children because they believe the socialists (aka Democrats) will brain wash them.

No joke, I've talked to someone who believes this, and they are very much not alone in that and similar beliefs. We're screwed.

Quoting: Eocene84They might get a c&d for having Alien in the title. But I'm defintely interested.

Alien is a word, I don't think anyone can claim it as intellectual property. There might be specific cases where it could be trademarked, but it's like with Apple--they can sue you for calling a computer an apple, but they can't sue you for calling an apple an apple. In this case, the game is calling an alien an alien. I don't think that's actionable.

Because the product looks similar enough that Disney could argue it could confuse consumers. I'm not saying I want that to happen. Just saying I wouldn't be surprised if they had to change the name.
