MystikIncarnate, do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

As stupid as it is, it doesn’t stop a creator from simply demonstrating issues, without commentary. Just show people the issues and don’t remark on them.

That being said, nobody should sign this. Trying to forbid people from making satirical remarks? What the crap?

Gimpydude,

Do that while explaining how that contract clause works!

mechoman444,

They literally can’t do that. Satire is a protected right under the first amendment. Anyone can make public satirical remarks regardless of signing that contract.

purplemonkeymad,

You are aware that first amendment protects speech from government actions/bodies only. It’s not something you can use against a private business (there are other laws for discrimination.)

mechoman444,

The point of the contract is that if one is in breach the company can sue for damages and potentially remove the offending media.

The suing process would be through a legal body such as a court system, in this case federal court since the media is on the Internet, therefore the contract doesn’t hold any legal binding. No federal court would uphold a contract that violates the first amendment.

Contracts adhere to laws and rules just like any other legal document. You can’t just put whatever you want into a contract and have it be binding.

purplemonkeymad,

Sure, but that term does not violate the first amendment since the government didn’t stop you from saying it, so would hold up. You might be able to get it thrown out due to something else, you would need a lawyer for that.

That contract will have penalties for violations, and those are what you would be subject to if in violation.

mechoman444,

That’s not how that works. The contract is in and of itself a violation of the first amendment. Therefore it has no legal binding. They wouldn’t be able to remove the offending media from any platform or sue for damages if someone breached the contract.

If there are internal ramifications due to a breach of contract that’s something that could be handled internally, such as the content creator not being offered any review materials in the future. But a contract wouldn’t be necessary for that either way.

Moreover, specifically for satire, there are whole acts in the law advocating for it. There is absolutely nothing, no clause or agreement that would ever prohibit someone from publicly satiring any given entity. Regardless of any contract.

refalo,

Letstakealook, do gaming w The harsh truth of Forza Horizon players: ramming

I won’t play forza online anymore, rammers just ruin the entire experience. I understand incidental collisions, but that intential shit just isn’t fun. They really need to implement a system that can track intentional ramming and match those people with each other so they are stuck in a rammer hell, and the rest of us can just enjoy the game. Ideally, the system wouldn’t be visible and account bound so it will follow you in the sequels. This way way the people who get joy out of ruining things for others are only ruining things for other assholes.

This is being blown out of proportion. These sorts of terms are pretty standard for a closed playtest, as it doesn’t represent the final product and the developers don’t want reviews to be published criticising things that will likely be fixed for the release version.

JackbyDev,

So long as this is only about the pre release and not about the game at all stages. Review embargoes are somewhat normal prior to launch.

mechoman444, do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

That contract has absolutely no legal bearing in any way shape or form.

Let them go to court over this, get thrown out and counter sued.

Railcar8095,

It’s not a legal thing. Is the message. “I’m not giving you any more access in the future because you broke our agreement.”

It doesn’t feel practical to enforce, save in so far as it lets them put you on a list of people not to extend future early-release games to. But you have to assume they were already doing that, as any marketing department worth its salt is going to have a boutique set of insider streamers who are effectively just contracted media flaks plugging your product.

On today’s episode of “This shouldn’t be legal”…

Think about it this way. The same guys who stream video game reviews to make money are paid by the advertisers who sponsor their streams. And the sponsor won’t pay for a stream if its disparaging of their content. So the streamer is being paid to cut an ad.

Imagine if you hired someone to go door-to-door selling people your sandwiches. And in the middle of each sales call the guys you hired would take a big bite, spit out the sandwich, and say “This is awful! I hate it!” What are you paying these asshole for?

Just stop pretending streamers are these independent objective observers and recognize them for what they are - online door-to-door sales guys. These early releases are just their sales kits. And why am I going to extend a sales kit to a guy who isn’t going to sell my shit?

Personally I don’t see the big deal. Seems more like a pop culture thing.

What I would really like to see is a Winnie the Pooh emote/walk.

AmidFuror,

That would be immediately banned in China.

Half-Life 3 fans: Your first time?

HotsauceHurricane,

No, just the one I’ve been anticipating the most.

thingsiplay,

Understandable. Just to be clear, I wasn’t serious, it is a meme reply. It’s so satisfying if a long awaited game finally comes out. From technical point game seems to be on a good level, without being bug riddled and with good performance. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

HotsauceHurricane,

So far so good!

Rentlar, do gaming w Don't make me turn this car around!

Buy successful indie game and studio, run the IP into the ground or just lay the workers off and keep the IP. Much cheaper to keep good games out and make room for your shitty AAA title than actually compete with them in the market.

The Activision™ way?

brsrklf, do games w 15 billion score in Pokemon Pinball + Caanoo

Once during a long train trip I beat the Metroid Prime three times in a row in Metroid Prime Pinball, and at that point I told myself “OK, this game will never end, drain all remaining balls and do something else”.

I agree my only gripe is the annoying ass multiplayer bugs. Some missions took us 5-6 tries to actually finish. Idgaf about the whole gender shit and tbh i didn’t even notice anything like that. I was going around shooting shit to even care.

Ah, multiplayer is something I rarely touch so I can’t have an informed opinion on that element. That sucks for you, tho.

Nosavingthrow, do games w Larian Studios has two major games in development and opens new studio in Warsaw

Big Fan of Divinity OS 2 and BG3 was very solid. I’m looking forward to seeing them evolve their core formulas and design principles.

VerseAndVermin,

Did you ever play the first Divinity?

Nosavingthrow,

I’m actually mid play through now. Lots of things I wish they carried over, but overall, I’ve found the sequal to be several steps forward.

pyre, do games w Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review in order to access the playtest

i feel bad for the developers who worked on it because from what i played so far it looks like a surprising amount of love and care was put into the game. they didn’t need something like this at all to get generally favorable first impressions. shameful display from the suits who are always ready to ruin everything.

AngryMob,

Blink twice if you signed the contract…

pyre,

seriously, i was expecting a complete farce of a game considering it’s fucking NetEase but i was pleasantly surprised. the visuals, lighting and shaders, the particle effects, the UI, everything is so thoughtfully made and in line with the theme. even the alternate skins have “inspired by this comic issue” note attached.

AngryMob,

Sounds pretty good. Personally i have no interest in Marvel stuff so its not up my alley, but i always like it when a fanbase gets something they enjoy. Have fun!
