@Savage_Joe It didn't bother me much. As someone who has had a year of hearing my favorite movie Black Panther only got praise because of wokeness, it's still the same crap I hear all year from people who think media featuring non white people aren't worthy of any praise.

Just look at the the nominee for goty and how people were going to jump all over it that it only won because the two leads were black.

Re: Ouch! Nintendo Hacker Gary Bowser Hit With Additional $10 Million Fine

@Damo Has their business actually been impacted? Despite piracy, switch games are selling just fine, in fact better than ever thanks to covid. I'm not pro piracy but it's not the huge threat most people think it is. It's much easier and safer to just buy a legit copy of the game. The average user isn't going to take time and go through the steps of hacking their switch.

@Meteoroid I'm not even bashing them. Being truly original is hard; It's even harder when you are trying to make AAA and not want it to fail. That's why I said being unoriginal isn't always a bad thing. You can be unoriginal yet still make something good. Just look at Marvel movies.

Hopefully it's not another dark medieval European setting. I would love to explore something different vs the default setting alot of studios go for.

@CovidBarbie Well actually if wasn't for bad pricing, porting these games would be a much better solution. Even better to emulate them. Hardware dies over time and as such if wasn't for the overpricing, it is it a great way to keep old games from becoming one day unplayable due to lack of hardware.

Re: Switch Players Are Supposedly Encountering All Sorts Of Glitches In Sonic Colors Ultimate

@ChromaticDracula The article is not the main issue imo. It's the headline. It's intentionally giving the impression a legit copy of the game is broken.

It would be like making a headline that said "Massive graveyard of bodies found dead due to a disease" Naturally, people are going to think there is a virus going around only to fully read an article that says "A massive graveyard of crows were found dead to a deadly disease while one person was found dead due to a heart attack."

Re: Hand-Drawn Game Guide Kickstarter Taken Down Following "Legal Trouble"

@Ambassador_Kong There is YouTuber by the name of Angry Joe (Not a fan). He wanted to mass produce a board game using characters from street fighter. He, unlike the guy in the article went through the proper channels and was granted permission by Capcom. The board game is his original idea, but the characters aren't which is why he went through proper channels to secure rights to use them.

I could care less if this was a side hustle, but the artist in the article wanted to start his own brand using someone's else IP.

@Xiovanni Again, im fine if he was doing this as a commission thing, but he was trying to start a line of merchandise by using already owned IP's. The artwork is his original idea, the characters the artwork are based on however isn't.

I'm sure you'd do the same thing if you found someone was making millions based on your creation while you were getting nothing out of it.

All the people defending him, would do the same thing Nintendo did if they found their creations were being profited by others without their knowledge.

Heck, I'm positive the artist himself would do the same thing if the shoe was on the other foot.

Normally I'd be on the side of the artist, but in this case what Nintendo did was perfectly fine. It's one thing doing out the kindness of your heart for free, it's another to start a line of merchandise using someone's work without giving them a percentage of it.

If this guy was doing it for fun I'd be fine with it, if he was taking commissions, that would be ok too. However I am pretty sure this guy being an artist himself was well aware of what was going to happen, and there's a high possibility it was for clout.

I don't believe he was that naive enough to start this campaign thinking Nintendo would be ok with it.

Re: Review: Sonic Colors Ultimate - The Best 3D Sonic Game Gets A Respectable Remaster

@Dafirelive Sonic losing the war has nothing to do with fan expectations and everything to do with poor management.

Sega, is to blame for why Sonic lost. No one told the company to add so many ridiculous gimmicks and ideas. Who's idea was it to release Sonic 2006 in a such a poor state? Sega

Who's idea was it to copy Mario spinoff's but replace them with Sonic? E.g. Tennis, Racing, Etc... Sega

Who's idea was it to release a Sonic game with a crappy character creator attached? Sega

At the end of the day everything wrong with Sonic is due to Sega's terrible decision making. They set up Sonic to fail and as result fans don't hold any high hopes for a good entry anymore.

As long it's passes for mediocre that's good enough. That's how low the bar has become.
