So I don't know patents or the details of this case so can't specifically say here... But this is the internet so you are going to hear my uneducated opinion anyways lol. Honestly on the fence on the discussion here. A really good innovation is usually one that seems simple and obvious...

My opinion, I generally agree with the negative reactions... They over did the meta stuff without any cool pay off. Seemed they were trying to flip the script as it were, have Neo being passive/defensive as another angle to "solve" the Machine/human problem. The setup was waaaaay too long and...

So is this a definition or wording thing? Admit not fully knowledgeable on the definitions... Seems like in the context of this discussion, corporatism is where companies control the state. (oxford def could be used both ways actually). Seems like unchecked capitalism is what causes...

I am there right with you on exclusives (same for streaming)... Though I don't think "law" in the US can be justified to limit exclusives. It would have to be cultural behavior. Personally I just ignore exclusives. If the game is good, I can wait a year and get it on sale. Sometimes I...

Wonder if those title restrictions will affect the steam/cloud integration (assume local would not be).

Mentioned this in some Stadia threads... GeForce NOW game buys also gave steam keys (previously at least) providing additional value and some protection of your purchase if service goes away. They previously had local steam support which was pretty cool, the game would run on your pc and...

Right now it looks like they are targeting "early adopters" (what ever that means to you), in reports they say in 2020 there will be a free no sub option. Which makes the full price purchasing similar to other storefronts. The monthly fee gets access to a free game (for the month?) and...

But we do say that... every time we buy something "made in china" that costs less... We just don't think about it, at least at the time the decision is made (or we qualify it). It's not "hogwash", it's that people generally don't think beyond comparing $A with features A to $B with features B...

Private companies (Banks, Hotels, Car Rental come to mind) do things like this all the time... Ever make an appointment/reservation and show up and it cam't be filled (for any numerous reasons), sometimes they will give you something but its nothing like the penalty applied to YOU if you don't...

He is referring to taxes paid in over the year, and getting a refund of some of those dollars which do not include interest. This is very common idea, surprised you read their intent/meaning differently. That said, I would agree the tone and some attitudes to this is overblown/stated in...

So you are saying there is 0 gameplay commentary or opinion during a stream? I am not a stream watcher so I don't know but I cannot see that happening. I assume part of the entertainment is the commentary and energy of the streamer which invariably will include opinion on quality/fun etc. So...

Besides (the big) discussion on F2P $$$ and micro-transaction manipulation shenanigans... I don't really see the big issue with this... Good for him. Apex is a F2P game and people can at least give it a good try to make up their own mind without any cost. That said, his credibility should be...

Curious... Why?

Another case of people getting triggered and outraged. This has no liberal/conservative restriction other than what specifically triggers. Not review bombed but same principle, behavior. An actor made a very poorly worded comment about a completely different movie. I don't think it is...

That is the rendering engine... I would assume they are building this to work on both engines.
