It’s about proving who was the original creator/user of the IP, instead of who is the first to file to have that IP protected.

The flipside of this would be having random holding companies just mass filing for ownership of everything posted online, said, written-down, or created, in the hopes that they get approved first so they can sue others, even the creators, for using it.

Look at the “very demure, very mindful” woman, Jools Lebron. Someone else (Jefferson Bates) file to trademark the saying because the original creator didn’t think to until after it was viral. Because the laws are ultimately about proving who was the creator, and not who filed first in the USA, it’s likely that Jools will get ownership, eventually.

I think some will exist in that time frame, but I don’t think they’ll be any good, or well received.

IN the near-future of gaming, but not BEING the near-future of gaming.

That could be the future, but not anytime soon. I haven’t seen anything AI gen that has enough continuity to make “on the fly” story telling something I’d be interested in.

It only being funny about 20 years ago.

That is the actual formatting for all of Lemmy to the best of my knowledge.

Some of the apps people use don’t do formatting properly.

It really depends on the Articles (of Incorporation, of Amendment, of Continuation, etc.) and the Bylaws.

Strange Flesh, but in a more literal sense, to a subby bottom bear.

What about Redout?

Interplay/Black Isle, pre-EA Bioware, Troika, Obsidian, Chris Sawyer, Larian, Lucas Arts, Valve, Gearbox had it’s time in the sun, as did Mojang.

The game sold about a million copies in its first month, but that’s across all platforms, and I think that was also including the games that came bundled with Intel CPUs and Nvidia GPUs.

So, still not super great, but likely much higher than the Steam number

Can you explain further, or give an example?

You’re right in saying that these devices are basically ancient, and also right about why you should never use all-in-ones for anything that you would want to last more than a couple of years.

Sometimes I purposefully seek out LGBTQ games.

It’s nice to see a story that I can actually relate to once in a while, instead of another “straight white guy who is enough of an every man to be relatable to the masses, but still strong enough to save the world and get the girl.” Seeing the same “Hero’s Story” over and over and over in media gets boring, and if you want to see more of something, that thing needs to be profitable so more people make it.

It’s sounds like you ate Capt’n Crunch this morning, instead of a heaping bowl of Cap’italism.

Our system rewards people who would kill babies in order to make 4% more than last quarter. Anything less than “even more profitable than last quarter” is a sin for which there is no penance.

You can always make one if there isn’t, but you will likely need to heavily moderate it.

Life is Strange and Vampyr are the only things they’ve done that I can say that I’ve played.
You can’t go 6+ years without releasing something that sells well and still survive. I am not sure that having 8 games in production was a great idea, but maybe a last attempt at getting something to stick and then focus on one or two games was their best option.

lol, gross.

This is the first time I’ve heard of this game, and the first time I heard about Concord was the announcement that it was being pulled.
