To be fair to the developers, they do elaborate a little further in the comments:
Hey everyone, We appreciate the sudden enthusiasm for our game. When we launched it in 2015 into early access and 2016 into full, we were at the vanguard of asymmetrical games. It was exciting, but it was also our first step down the Dunning Kruger curve. QL has bugs that we cannot fix, shaky net code and overall sloppy design. We left the game up for this long so that players who had friends that wanted to play, could still get a copy. However it has been 9 years with minimal to no activity. So we felt it was right to remove it now.
I don't know enough about this game or it's community to comment much, but the devs don't seem to be bad guys - seems like a story of naive developers making a mistake, but doing their best for their community with what they had. For a niche online game with no DLCs, 9 years is hardly a bad run.
It's a tale as old as time for the right-wing... in the words of Bono, "Well, tonight thank God it's them instead of you".
The right-wing doesn't know empathy past their nose, so as long as it's innocent Palestinians being killed in droves and not their own, they won't care two shits.
Whelp, anyone who took bets on him acting like a war hero over this can now go collect your winnings - which is just more listening to Trump unfortunately.
In terms of pure image quality, real objects would win every time because they only have to be filtered by our eyes - digital images are filtered through the GPU and screen before ever reaching our eyes.
As such, the real contest is the ability of displays to make digital images look comparable to those real objects - because that's harder to do vs. ust looking at the real life object, it's more impressive to us.
“If anyone loses money, please come to me,” Guo said in a video played repeatedly during the trial. “I will be responsible.” That was not true.
If anybody ever guarantees an investment by telling you they'll promise to pay you back if it doesn't work out, they're almost certainly lying - when it comes to money, if it isn't in a contract, it ain't happening
To jump on the bandwagon, OP's showing their age. I can't remember where I first saw Badger Badger, but it was definitely pre-Youtube (or at least mainstream Youtube) when Flash was all the rage
Who knew all you needed to make yourself above the law was appoint your own judges... The level of corruption going on in front of our eyes is astounding, they're barely even trying to hide it at this point.
Particularly for physical injuries, I sometimes prefer to suffer as it reminds me that I need to be careful, which I know I'd forget if I subdued the pain.
For things like flu's where it's just pure suffering for nothing, I'll suck down as many painkillers as I can have in a day.
Honestly these guys are both the smartest and stupidest folks imaginable at the same time - I'm just glad it's the Russians they're screwing over this time haha
The idea of copyright itself isn't a bad thing IMO - reward creatives by allowing them exclusivity over their works for an amount of time sufficient to recoup costs and make some profit.
Problem is monopolistic mega-corporations screwed it all up in the name of profits by extending copyright decades past its original intention, and by copyrighting not just the works but even the means of accessing any of them.
It's no secret that the reuse of public domain inspirations was how many of the largest entertainment companies and largest publishers got to where they are, so of course they pulled the ladder to ensure it'd be a whole lot harder to follow them.
Copyright is broken, and you only need follow the money to see who broke it.
