Companies whose profits are taken sue Apple for not only lost revenue but also punitive damages.


Now can we have a poll from Dr. Thunder about what we went our Cola to taste like?


All I want from Value is for them to continue to destroy everything that greedy game CEOs want to shove down gamers throats to pump their stock prices.


Mobile gaming indeed feels like taking a go-kart on the interstate, except the go-karts steering wheel is replaced with playdough.


Farcry 3 remastered incoming


Idk if there are newer laws, I think there is, but a 1998 law makes it illegal to break a digital lock, very broadly defined, to protect cd’s but applied to all electronics.
Sounds like one of those laws that’s never applied by itself, but instead is always sprinkled in on top of another more well defined and detectable crime. In the case or CDs it would have been against piracy groups who not only cracked CDs, but also distributed.
Without the distribution, that law would have never seen enforcement.
We could also argue that cracking software protections isn’t reprogramming, it’s a precursor to do so and isnt always necessary to reprogram a device. Someone could absolutely pop the computer out of a Samsung smart refrigerator and replace it with a Arduino and reprogram the device, which for personal use is legally bulletproof.


Tell that to every farmer in the US
Every farmer in the U.S. has the right to repair and reprogram their vehicles. They do not however have the right to force John Deer to provide access to their proprietary software.
Not being able to reprogram something, and it being a literal crime, are absolutely different things.


Read some Right to Repair U.S. law. There’s absolutely nothing illegal about reprogramming any device for personal use.


It’s a federal felony now to alter the programming on an electronic you bought as well.
I can’t find any evidence for this; it would also be a nearly unenforceable law if it was actually a thing. What’s going to happen, the device calls home and says help help I’ve been reprogrammed!
Now altering the programming only for re-saling might have some legal issues.


Apex wasn’t shadow dropped, they paid many many high tier streamers to play and hype the game at release.


The reviews I watched we’re pretty upset; steam reviews are mixed/mixed.


Firebreak got some real hate at release. What have yall done to address player concerns?
I mean I want a modern version of it with the jank removed, but I want the same systems, same story ya.
Oblivion and Skyrim constantly disappointed me with the simplification of the RPG systems.
I should be able to cast a jump spell that sends me to the moon; and the spell runs out before I reach the moon, where I die terribly.
