  • I think it's a case of copyright (allowing a creative to benefit from their creativity) vs copyblight (allowing a company and it's legal team to predate on the creativity of others).

    This matter has always lurked in the shadows, but with the advent of "everything as a service", the consumer is facing a lot more copyblight than copyright.

    To put it into context, when a game publisher copyright strikes a fan game, they're not protecting the team who created the original game; they're protecting the interest of shareholders. They're ensuring the game IP remains a valuable asset to trade; not a product that inspires but one that enriches creatively bankrupt parasites.

  • I mean, if I were to throw out lines such as "if only women didn't demand so much", I'd be guilty of misogyny regardless of who I implied the demand was levied against.

    The misandry here is "men love to commit murder", not the implication of who is murdered.

  • Yeah... We had the internet and great gaming mags with decent guides.

    Gamefaqs introduced me to "100%ing" (the FF7 maxed party, all items, full set of master materia), before games tracked it themselves.

    We had it pretty easy in the 90s and 00s; it was also fun as hell.

  • "Necessity is the mother of invention."

    What you're likely seeing here is innovation similar to the early tech sector. The hardware limitation (no Nvidia chips) means different (usually more complex) solutions are needed.

    These solutions usually require a deep understanding of a specific area of mathematics, and expertise in coding. The person making it normally has to be heavily invested, since it still eats a lot of hours.

    I often joke, the mathematician who finds a faster algorithm for matrix operations is sitting on a billion dollar idea.
