Misleading title -looks like all assets, functionality, and code were stolen, not just some HTML.

The ripoff artist made $42,0000.00. Apple made $18,000.00.
The original creator made ~$2,000.00, after TikTok comments pointed people to the original.
And
“Apple encourages the parties to a dispute to work directly with one another to resolve the claim.”
Apple facilitated theft, and owes this developer $60,000.00 if they lose in court. But they know they don’t have to lose in court, because they can spend $6,000,000.00 or more on lawyers, forever, to set a precedent to discourage others from suing.
EXAPUNKS and Last Call BBS have the most flavour IMO. TIS-100 and Shenzhen I/O are also very good.
Honestly, all of them are worth trying so that you can see which ones are for you. They're all pretty different (with a couple of exceptions), especially MOLEK-SYNTEZ.
I am amused to report that this is a legally distinct definitely-not-Zachtronics company that just happens to have two guys (including Zach) from Zachtronics in.
I’d love to see someone make a “TF2 Classic” where it’s the game as it was on release, but with all the current QOL and fixes; none of the unlockables and hats and all that bullshit. Just pure fucking fun. Oh, and also give us back all the scripting commands they needlessly took away because some players are too dumb to type shit into the console or download someone else’s config and were claiming that they were unfair.
Man I remember the last time I successfully played spy as a kid, with the, “turn left/right 170 degrees and backstab” commands you input right as you pass by someone.
Doable by hand, but now I have a cat on my desk at all times and the range of motion requires to whip around that fast isn’t gonna happen.
I had made a script that would allow me to set timers for my stickies as a demo. Spray a CP or doorway with 'em, set the timer to, like, 60 seconds and then go spam regular nades somewhere and just wait for someone to explode a minute later.
If they gave more time than just a few months, in example at least an entire year, then people could at least download those files before hand. Not sure how long this would take and how stressful this would be for their servers.
Is anyone actually surprised by this? How can you think Twitch is a longterm archive? Its like having backups on Microsoft or Adobe servers. Do not trust them and always have a backup plan! Not even YouTube is, because they deleted old unused accounts and therefore the associated videos. Not sure how far this gone though. I wouldn’t be surprised if Amazon/Twitch announces some premium service where all files will stay active if you pay a monthly fee.

They could also give the option to pay for this. They should know what storing a video costs and therefore could give creators the chance to cover that cost.
