4 days agoWell, they had a single case of attempted voter fraud, so now I guess it’s only fair we award Trump the presidency here and now. I believe those are the rules.

Because if Russia retaliates it means all of NATO goes to war with Russia. Kind of a big deal that you maybe don’t want to just decide on your own.
14·1 month agoIt’s not about being friendly. It’s about not saying the exact same comments in every single Nintendo thread. It’s repetitive and boring.
Y’all are making this community as bad as Reddit game subreddits with your incessant bitching about Nintendo. We get it.
It’s not by almost any definition
“What should the logo look like?”
“Well, start with Doom. Then just kind of end there too.”
Although DOS emulation is very good these days, this is really cool!
If it had been, don’t you think Square could simply remake it in one game rather than splitting it into the multi-game saga that it always has been? It would never work!
You said
Another problem is that physical is a red herring. You don’t own modern physical games any more than you own digital ones,
This is false. Most games do have the full game data on disc (or card). There are some specific examples, usually AAA titles like Hogwarts and Jedi Survivor, where there is either online DRM (I gather you mean online DRM, as that is the only thing that would make sense in context) or the title was too big to fit on one disc and they cheaped out. This is somewhat more common with Xbox hybrid discs; the disc will generally contain the Xbox One version, while the Series X version is a download. PlayStation 5 games generally have the full game on disc. Switch cards have the full game.
For the most part, if you buy a physical game, it has the game data on it.
as the famous The Crew shitshow has demonstrated. It doesn’t matter if you still have the fancy disc, if you can’t even go past the main menu when the publisher decides to shut down the game.
If it’s an online-only game, of course it’s not playable if the servers shut down. Don’t want to pay for a time-limited game? Don’t buy them. (I don’t.)
In the end DRM is the only deciding factor, not if the game is digital or physical.
This is also false. DRM (again, presumably you mean online DRM in this discussion) is not the sole deciding factor. The actual deciding factors are the things are cited above.
When you say that physical and digital are equivalent, you’re just factually wrong. There are certain cases where the physical disc isn’t sufficient, but by and large, this sweeping statement is incorrect.
You mean The Crew, the online-only racing game?
“It doesn’t apply to an online game, therefore it doesn’t apply to any situation.”
But I agree that it’s best to purchase DRM-free copies.
To be fair, there’s never been a time when Final Fantasy 9 could’ve been a single game. It’s simply never been possible.
No, it doesn’t copy the game data in the way you’re describing, anymore than a Game Genie would (it doesn’t either).
And anyway, this Nintendo lawyer fear is getting a little ridiculous in this community. ROM dumping for this kind of data is legal, at least in the United States.
Your understanding is incorrect if copying involves circumventing encryption or other means of protecting the data. That said, it’s not an issue for the Game Boy or Super NES.
Hello from Portland
Fan speculation and a whole article about it, and no one took the time to actually check…
I did literally five minutes of research and the remastered game screenshots on Sony’s blog post match the Working Designs script. So between that and the fact that a new translation isn’t listed in the features, it’s it pretty clear that they’re using that script, at least for English.
For PS1?
95% of games are below $60, and the vast majority of those are below $20.
You might mean “more than I’m willing to pay,” but it’s a market. There are millions of copies of certain titles, so no one is cornering the market. People are just willing to pay more than you. In the case of PS1, maybe $10-20 more. No one is getting rich from that.
What exactly is your definition of scalping in this case
Oh hey, I didn’t know there was a remake of this game. Imagine that, a game that actually deserved a remake! Hopefully this is translated to English.
Next they need to do Shin Onigashima. It’s similar to Famicom Detective Club or the 999 games. It’s had a couple remakes already, but not for Switch. Maybe they think it’s “too Japanese,” I dunno.
If they can prove clean room isolation, it’s also legal for a team to document the plans in detailed technical language and another team to implement from the documentation (provided to them via an intermediary not involved in either effort).
This is how the IBM BIOS was replicated by Compaq for its line of “IBM-compatible” PCs.
That “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting and maybe Poland doesn’t want to yolo World War 3.
To make this a black and white issue is kinda weird when the severity of being wrong is so high. Just because Poland is being a considerate partner to other NATO member states doesn’t mean it’s required to act that way.
