2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

I am happy that it's a Peripeteia developer saying this. The game is a mess (because it's Early access) & needs a looooot if optimization, but boy it's something else.

Gives me Ghost in the Shell vibes

I've never liked the guy, he's always seemed so full of himself like he thinks he's smarter than everyone and can never be wrong.

In Ross' video, IIRC, he said 110% was good, 120% was pretty safe, and 140% was very safe.

edit: Correct autocorrect.

I know it's not going to happen, but I would love it if legislation could go as far as requiring companies to open-source their engines and servers after maybe a period of time, or on ending support for the game. It could be done ID-style where the company retains full rights of the content and trademarks, which would still require players to buy the game to legally play it.

I'm aware there are a lot of cases where games include middleware that's licensed from 3rd parties that complicate preservation efforts. But if open-sourcing the code is the path taken, there's a simple solution for that: just release what you can, even if what's released is in an unplayable state without the middleware. It then becomes the responsibility of any volunteers to take that code and bring it back to a usable state however they choose.

This drama highlights that there's still a great need for better computer literacy. Anyone with even a basic education in how software, source-code, and software licensing works can tell PirateSoftware is full of shit pretty much immediately. That is, anyone educated who are themselves not grifters.

The original intent of patents was almost exactly that. You're protected for a handful of years, after that anyone can just use the patent as instructions for recreating it.

... then Disney and other fucking greedy ghouls of corporations got involved and greased the right palms...

Who is this, and why is she so sad?

I kinda hate the guy so it's hard for me to keep the tone neutral but I'll try my best.

Long story short: He's a popular streamer that had a few controversies that caused many people labelled him as arrogant or egotistical.

The latest one is his take on the "stop killing games" initiative that he was against. He had a video a few months ago were he misrepresentated the movement and spread misinformation (whether or not this was intentional or misinformed is up for debate) and caused a significant drop in the momentum of the movement, refusing to accept any criticism and doubling down on things. That was until recently were the initiative was in the last month and a half before the big deadline at only around 50% of the required signatures, but then huge momentum sprung up with a lot of people marking him as the "villain" of the movement and because of his controversy before it wasn't long before word spread.

This has obviously led to harassment of the guy(which I feel is too far personally) which he responded to by tripling down on his opinion causing further being labelled as the villain. Eventually the momentum carried it over the finish and people are happy that he didn't get his way.

Can't wait for him to see this and claim it was his plan the entire time
