Bronzebeard, do games w Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit

“I want to control an idea I came up with, but that person who came up with that idea first doesn’t count”

Is an insane argument

It’s basically a non-sequitur.

A mod isn’t a standalone game, sure. It requires the base game to have meaning. Unitl it gets spinned off and becomes a “real” (standalone) game.

However, that has no connection with the original problem: Did anyone who isn’t Nintendo ever animate a cartoony person throwing a ball that does something, before Nintendo filed for a patent?

Of course they have. That’s prior art, and the patent itself is under serious question - whether the animation was in a “real” game, a “fake” one or in a Blender animation has very little influence on that fact.

It’s fucking important for any gamer with a shred of concious humanity to boycott this game and make it fail.

The money this game was funded by comes directly and only from blooded oppression of a dictatorship. From forced unpresented taxes and bloody oil money of terrorisim. They beheaded and killed all their human-right activist citizens and protestors who tried to ask for their share that went to this game.

cheesorist,

mmm some mighty fine propaganda and racims you have there

answersplease77,

a videogame isn’t a big mod out of an engine? Like, GTA V, is a mod of RAGE engine?

Matriks404,

It depends how mod is made. If it depends on a base content of a game, it’s generally a mod for that game. That’s what Counter-Strike and DOTA for example was at first (they required Half-Life, and Warcraft 3 base files respectively).

If you make a game for a specific engine, it’s generally considered as a standalone game, not a mod. Also in olden days code for the engine and the game wasn’t separated so you couldn’t easily reuse the game engine. AFAIK Id Software was one of the first companies that made reusable game engines that were also licensed to other companies, and even made map editor available for free.

Every day I am more convinced that someone made a wish to the monkey paw for Nintendo to do something about Palworld, and now we are where we are.

bassomitron,

I truly don’t understand why anyone gave a fuck about Nintendo caring about Palworld.

JayGray91,

There’s a group of citizens of a nation that supports what Nintendo doing to Palworld devs. Back when I read the noise on Xitter when Nintendo first filed against Palworld, lots of Japanese support it because something something disrespect or some bullshit. It sickens me that they are just lying belly up drinking the shit Nintendo puts out and trying to snuff competition

Counter-Strike being the most popular PC game in the planet must be a figment of my own imagination, then.

psx_crab,

Can’t believe Valve didn’t make real game. CS, TF2, DOTA2, all fake.

Ugh. Cram your propaganda where the sun won’t shine. So glad to have not bought mirage yet. And now I surely won’t. Despite me liking the ubi games. Yeah I said it, now downvote me like hell for it 😁

If you’d like to don your eyepatch and tricorn, a dev build (ie Denuvo-less) of v1.0.6 got leaked last November.

Yummm tatses like hasbara propaganda

pulsewidth,

Is everything critical of Saudi Arabia Hasbara propaganda?

I hate Saudi Arabia’s leadership and brutal oppression of their people. Obviously, Kashoggi. Obviously, funding terrorism worldwide. Personally, a friend of mine witnessed a state beheading simply by being in the wrong place at the wrong time while he was working in SA (he was an Indian immigrant worker) - scarred him for life.

Hasbara are in the walls so I presume they saw me type that out and I’ll just patiently await my cheque.

bestboyfriendintheworld,

Why? Israel and Saudi Arabia get along pretty well. They are natural allies against Iran. The current war in Gaza is all that stands between Saudi Arabia entering the Abraham accords.

wondrous_strange,

Yeah you’re probably right and I’m wrong, my hate of israel got the better of me

Another reason not to buy any Ubisoft game.

The staff should refuse to contribute. Tell them no on religious grounds on account of chopping journalists into pieces being a big no-no.

In the Dlc you assassinate a journalist in an embassy.

‘Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them’

Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

Quexotic, do gaming w I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game

Statement like that makes me seriously doubt that it can even run on a PS5 which I was thinking about getting it for but this is kind of changing my mind
