Consider owning anything Musk a risk for your own safety.

It all comes to how anonymous you are on the net. I’d say having a mainstream social media account is right now a high risk if you live in the US, specially considering that Kethamine Karen owns one one of them.

This to say that deanonymizing you might be cheaper than you think, making it more likely than we all expect. If you want to keep using tnose socials, I’d start by deleting my accounts and creating new ones using new data (such as disposable mails or aliases that forward to your real email)

Of course, a trusted vpn is a must in these cases. And there is a lot you should be doing on top of all this.

Right now, if you want to keep your anti-trump line, be prepared to be treated as an enemy, so consider the deanonymation a highly likely possibility.

Are they going to press twitter to do the same?

This is how you kill innovation.

Let’s hope they keep this trend going so in the next years nobody in Japan wants to make videogames, I’m sure everyone, especially the customers will win with this behavior.

I wouldn’t blame the devs (not just them at least). In so many cases, it’s corporate who decides what kind of game the devs are doing. They want money, so they go with the latest shit that makes money, squeezing it until they kill the formula before moving on.

People like him are the reason the industry is so screwed. I’ve been saying for years now that the corporate kills uniqueness in games. They just want money so there is no innovation, they take a game that works and just copy it expecting a high return.

Sometimes, it fails miserably, and still, they can’t fathom why? They are way more fucked than I thought. At this point I expect failures like this to repeat more and more often. The bubble is going to burst and I’ll enjoy every second of these idiots losing money in the millions every time.

You’re asking the average cod player to stop playing? They are unable to. It’s the reason why the series is where it is, its playerbase is… not the smartest.

On modern phones, it will tell you if it’s using them. And you can block permissions.

however, given who is the owner, right now the best course of action is to consider xitter as a compromised app and treat it as malware/spyware

Don’t think this will only affect the us. This can be used against anyone living in a country that’s friendly with the turd.

Leave twitter. For your own safety.

I can assure you that you won’t find an Italian person surprised by this.

Trenitalia is something else, and any commuter that regularly uses their trains can tell you horror stories about their services.

I’m not enterely sure blocking twitter links is necessarily a badly setup adblock…

The amount of creativity in the indie world is insane. It’s been a lot of years since I last played a AAA game because of this.

Have you ever played as a crow? There’s an indie game for that.

Have you ever played a shooter in which you literally shoot people trendy clothes instead of bullets?

The creativity is there, you just won’t find it in your typical AAA, because that game’s only goal is to milk your wallet.

There’s no collapse of creativity. There’s just a collapse of the industry that now is in the hands of shareholders whose only goal is profit.

As soon as your company gets controlled by those, your creativity becomes a need to make another soulless “blockbuster”.

Look at the indie world instead. There is creativity, it’s just incompatible with the AAA business model.

I do have as many too at work.

I use one VM for each iteration of my automation software. Our factory has machines ranging from the 90s to present day, and they use different software environments to be programmed. In order to minimize the risk of data loss, we have one virtual machine with every software environment, that way if one gets corrupted, the damage is contained. It also makes them easier to export to new computers when we need to replace ours.

I’m not a lawyer, so my knowledge is limited, but from what I understand, you can only make a claim for a patent infringement in the country where the company responsible for the infringement is located.

So they have this patent in Japan, but if I make a Pokémon-like game but I’m from, say, France, where this patent doesn’t exist, Nintendo can only suck it up and cope, because they don’t have a patent for this in France.

Greed. Simple as that. They only care for money. And they used to get a pass because they made good games. Not anymore.

That’s probably true in normal countries. Japanese patent office is… Less than normal if these things can happen.

My email is whatever shit protonpass comes up with when I generate a random alias. Phone number is 3334445566 Name is: lol no Gender is undisclosed DoB is January 1st of the first year I can select. Otherwise, 1900 And income is 1.

There, free WiFi.

Emulation exists despite Nintendo trying their best at every chance they have to destroy it. Not thanks to them.

And fan games exist only until Nintendo decides they have to be shut down. Which is frequently.

For the Nintendo future games? Well, what can I say? Again, it’s a video game company. And as Palworld and others are showing, many others can do what Nintendo does in better ways. We won’t have another mario if they close? There will be someone making a new platformer as good. There won’t be a new Pokemon? We already have better alternatives.

But if they disappear, games like Palworld will have a chance without having to risk being sued over all this crap.

Edit: Nintendo is the one hoarding these patents that then they can weaponize against competition, so yeah, if they disappear, competition will get better because they won’t have to be worried about being sued for things as dumb as putting a confirmation window after resuming a game from sleep.

But with Nintendo disappearing, how does that benefit anyone? If you don’t like Nintendo games, you can already just not play them. People buying them buy them because they like them. Them disappearing doesn’t help people who do like Nintendo games, and it doesn’t help people who don’t like Nintendo games.

They have killed tons of fan games just because they have enough money to throw at lawyers so people won’t even try to fight them.

They kill competition with these practices.

They are against emulation and game conservation while actively screwing consumers who try to legally play their games…

And the list goes on and on. They are a bad company that happens to make some good games. Those few good games are not enough to redeem them for the rest of what they do.
