Any social networks that have non-censored participants are. Usually, China's presence in social networks outside of its borders are for propaganda purposes.

Interesting. This and other actions seem to hint that they got themselves into the crosshairs of legal law enforcement. You reap what you sow. I suggest that people don't ignore potential issues with an instance, because it does spill over in unexpected ways. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FFdbbcj4Ao

The biggest problem with "federation" is the control given to bullshit admins in some of the biggest and how big into hiding their problems they are. One of the biggest instances has shoved two of their admins under the rug, without openly acknowledging why they did it or the drama there clearly is behind it, giving the impression that the problems those admins were creating have been addressed on one side and on the other just trying to dismiss it as "no big deal, they are just taking time off".

So keep in mind joining some of those instances is just joining a good paint job. Sometimes, the rust breaks through, sometimes the rusted pieces get removed, but the people painting over the rust are still there.

It matters because when communities crowd around large instances, those admins have ultimate control over participation within them. And while easy to bypass, it will still affect the reputation your comment history would have represented.

Yeah, no, wouldn't touch that from a longstick, specially from the political slant it's coming from. Wikipedia itself already has enough problems, Ibis is just asking to be a misinformation hub.

It would depend on the skill of the team doing it. A lot of people are praising the FF7 remake even though the gameplay is completely different because of not only how it builds upon and unites all the lore that exists, but how it expands it and subverts expections, and it can only do this when it isn't just a remake cash grab.

What I want in a Chrono Trigger remake is rather than asking us, asking the original visionaries that created it what they would want to add into it if they created it today, and to put in the effort into making and ensuring that vision works out.

The official term is involuntary manslaughter, but it would only be applicable to the Witch of the West, however it would require recklessness or negligence, neither of which were present. Then again, when Dorothy's house falls on the Witch of the East, although it's basically a death from natural disaster, she proceeds to steal a family heirloom, the ruby slippers, from the deceased witch and refuses to give them back to her kin, the Witch of the West, so there's some degree of instigation. That does not excuse how Dorothy is kidnapped and detained, plus there's the criminal intent the witch has to kill Dorothy. It's a shit show all around, but that's Kansas for you.

I wouldn't be surprised, but you also get those claims with a lot of Western developers as well. The only difference I'm seeing is how much more reputation is valued as opposed to something that can be sold off to the highest bidder.

I'd say it's more because they've established a reputation and they've kept it up, which is were Japanese culture really shines. Compare it to, say, Blizzard, which cashed out and pissed its reputation away mostly. Sure, Japanese companies will try to cash out sometimes, but if there's the possibility of them losing their reputation because of it, they will back off even at a loss and try to make up for it. Do not confuse with South Korean companies, by the way.

The only thing I hated about it was how disappointed with the DLC expectations they had set in previous Borderlands games.

It's an uphill battle. Better to focus on allowing players to police themselves in close knit community servers.

To fight disinformation, you first have to know what disinformation is, and the people being activists don't really care about how much of a hypocrite they are acting as or on what vague presumptions they are or aren't acting on. My suggestion, do what Cambridge Analytica did and has continued to exist under Emerdata and competitors, but make the data collected and the inferred relations visible to all so that people can see their surrounding and other people's surroundings and get a notion of how and why they might be getting affected by them. Instead, we have people arguing that keeping functionality already visible to admins, and easily subject to manipulation, but hidden to the rest of the users, like upvotes and downvotes, should be kept hidden in social networks supposedly intended to be more transparent. Not even going to bring up some of the people leading those networks. I have little hope.

I'm trying to stay away from MMOs, which is were all these practices were really born.

Piecing this to what they've also said elsewhere, I'm just going to assume that GTA6 will be sold as a service.

Because it's about greed, not culture. And anything having to do with culture has itself been traditionally appropriated by greed anyway.

But there was a sequel to Okami, it just wasn't as popular.

I remember that happening with a game subscription service, and they had the decency to provide me the option of downloading an offline copy of the game when it did. What's so hard about these services at the very least allowing them the option to download an offline copy when things like this happen? They know that otherwise, they are just going to skip over to pirating entirely, right?

I never said it was a paid advert, and if I had a serious problem with it, I wouldn't have called it nice. I think the game has promise given their developers. But it's still an advert, which are largely a problem only when quality, saturation, and relevance are questionable, so don't take it as a complaint.

Nice advert.

You'll be sad to know, steamship Mickey is now in the public domain. Why can't people just continue to give companies that have already made billions their money forever!? Don't they realize that they are never allowed to base themselves off of the culture they've grown surrounded by!? Vague accusations should be enough to take these guys down on the ethics scale.

Talk about projecting ...
