For something like cheating and streaming your exploits on Twitch, it makes sense for a suit like this. Bungie’s reputation would suffer even more due to his audience being much more likely to seek out cheating tools, to associate the game with cheating, and to spread both those pieces of information themselves.
In a case where the damages are real and not contrived, copyright feels a bit more legit.
$500k feels extreme, though, even in this case. Is this based off real sales, stock prices, or back of the napkin math? Maybe mark it down to his scale of income. So they have $100 million in annual ebitda (and excluding any funny business like stock buybacks) and he makes $50k before taxes but after living expenses. That $500k is worth 1/600th of their annual income and so should be 1/600th of his: $250. Multiply that by as much as 10 due to the severity of his actions (or divide by as much as 10) and you’ve got $2500 in damages. Much more reasonable.
Bit rough going the opposite way, but fair’s fair.
Honestly, I'd completely forgotten that Embracer had bought out Gearbox. Curious to see who ends up acquiring them, if anyone actually does. Also have to wonder just how many studios Embracer is going to end up selling off or shutting down by the end of this.
Having no idea what the ventilation is in other areas, I don’t know how it compares.
Also all those markets probably overlap a fair bit.
I used to think that the share was roughly ½ console and ½ PC, but not only does it probably vary wildly from place to place, I have nothing to base that feeling on anyway. It’s just that I never played on a console (until the deck, which only semi-counts) and never met anybody who did until quite late (which admittedly doesn’t really mean anything). Also I never really thought of phones as a gaming medium even though they clearly are.
And finally, now that a lot of titles are released on multiple platforms, does it matter all that much?
I’m primarily a console peasant, but my Steam account goes back to 2007. I don’t remember the specifics, but I know I opened it after getting a physical copy of The Ship from Target. Never played it much, though.
Apparently you can install linux on these things but I rather just support valve and have a polished linux experience along with giving money to a company that is improving linux gaming.
