I’d be for it. Just go in VR, the entire map of the store is before you. You’ll browse aisles, you’ll find what you want and there will be tickers to tell you how many things are left that is based on real-time information. No stupid fucking people in your way or anything.
The only thing that’s being “damaged” is some executive’s plan to lobby or to buy their 5th home. Not to mention their fragile ego.
That’s 67 billion in USD for those curious.
I would say fake goods have more of an impact than piracy does. Come on now, how much more “research” do we need to disprove the “piracy causes lost sales!” claim?
I played and beaten the House of the Dead 2: Remake.
It made me glad I pirated that because, for what they’re charging, I got exactly the same experience I did when I bought the first remake. All it was, was just a graphical overhaul. It was still riddled with bugs, I felt a lot of my feedback weren’t connecting as much as I thought and it just felt like an overall cheap experience. I would never buy this if it was on sale. I got the first one for $7.49 when it was on sale a few years back, refunded it and got it again later when it was $2.49.
I would say that at that pricepoint, that’s exactly what those games should be priced at. They’re both an insult to the originals. I’m going to now go and grab arcade copies of these games.
No. I just got tired of dealing with virtual machines. I would’ve hoped that Wine by now would’ve allowed and accepted more 16-bit applications than just stopping at 32-bit.
Would you know if this works for 16-bit games? Like, I’d love to play the Hasbro cereal box games again. Yahtzee, Wheel of Fortune and all them. If so, that alone may just get me to join Linux Mint.
It should never even be questioned. Pedophilia will never be okay. Children cannot reasonably consent and if anyone thinks they do, don’t care to know what ‘grooming’ is or probably is a groomer to make a child believe that.
You’re a bit out of date on that one.
Because you’re thinking when he said that in 2006. It took until 2019 that he changed his perspective. Now granted that’s quite a time gap between 2006 and 2019 in believing pedophilia is okay. But he seems to have changed his tune on that. And people did make it known to him.
That’s honestly how piracy in general should be. But as we’ve learned, have learned and seemingly continue to learn. That, the reason a number of great piracy sources go down the way they did was because, someone had a very big mouth and drew attention that ended up costing us great sources that had lasted a good long while.
These days, it’s get your pirating in as much as you can, take your loot and provide only to those who know how and when to shut up.
The people running Anna’s Archive should’ve really known better. At one hand, I’m appreciative for what they attempted to do. But on the other hand, they’ve really painted a big target on their backs by scraping on Spotify. Now they have the RIAA legion sickened on them and they’re probably now going to get nuked by lawsuits and appeals. So, in a sense, Anna’s Archive kinda went and blew themselves up, screwing people out of a good source.
I don’t fucking care.
It’s just one big event to see how much commercialization can be crammed down people’s throats. The Commercial Bowl isn’t too far away either.
