Self-hosters are also subject to DMCA. Failure to comply runs the risk of being sued.
Not if the self-hoster is self-hosting out of DMCA jurisdiction. Also, not if the self-hoster can not be found (say, redirect your mailer to /dev/null).
For long I’ve dreamed of the heights Pokémon could reach if the mainline videogame production was handed over from a small indie company to a respectable developer with a better track record such as Camelot or CDPR.
