They are probably concerned because management has decided that the game should be shown off even though it’s probably not ready. This is that kind of clouged together solution.
As per usual it just seems to have blown up in their gormless faces.
The content creator agrees not to make public comments that are detrimental to the reputation of the game
Sounds pretty clear-cut, if you say anything bad about the game regardless of if it’s true or not then you’re in violation of this contract. That’s ridiculous.
They’re are actually saying you can’t criticize the game. Now, you tell me who is the arbiter of what is and isn’t “criticism”, because it never says constructive criticism isn’t criticism so presumably is also not allowed.
Basically, there probably easily legal case to answer especially for supposedly single player games that have online components, but it would be up to individuals to actually go about suing the game companies, the government isn’t going to get involved.
I sent it at the time, petition was badly done, it really should have just focused on keeping software products in general around after support is dropped by the creating company. This isn’t just an issue that affects video games, and get and by using video games in the name it allows the government to kind of just dismiss it.
In order to make it really work you have to, print off the comment, write NO COMMERCIAL LICENSE in green ink to 45° angle, then upload the picture of the comment with the sign on it.
Did that actually break computers? I remember hearing about it at the time but I also don’t remember having a problem. I didn’t think I took any real precautions either, I just carried on as per and nothing ever happened.
But the game isn’t even available on PlayStation so why am I creating an account? At the very least it’s pointless busy work. And apparently not even well thought out.
Microsoft have sucked at naming things basically forever. Look at their windows versions. First they were numbered after the year release which made sense, they kind of break the trend with millennium edition but it’s still sort of worked because it came out in 2000. Was also a 2000 which confused things and then after that it just continued to go downhill.
95, 98, 2000 (presumably because they didn’t want to call it 00), XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10 (because nine is evil for some reason), 11
There’s a rumor the next version is going to be called X, I assume because they haven’t really advanced as a company since the '90s and they still think that’s cool.
