I bought ME:A and I found it decent in large parts, mediocre in equally large parts, horrendously stupid and bad in minor parts, and very good in equally minor parts with some flashes of old greatness. All in all, I don't regret the hours I spent in it and would probably have looked forward to a sequel had it not been shitcanned

Bioware- trust us development for the game is really far ahead sure we aren't showing you anything but we soon will no this isn't a sign of troubled development trust us. Internally scrambling around as the staff crunches forever, constant scope change and most of the development been done in a short amount of time despite being in production for like 5 years.

Golli posted:The difference here is that instead of letting you take the tote bag home, an MMO insists that you leave the tote bag in a locker on their premises, and they promise to let you use it whenever you want. Because they have failed to properly secure the premises, they have a duty to restore the property that you are now deprived of use. In the case of both a tote bag or a jpeg, these are of nominal intrinsic value and thus should be quickly and easily replaced. If the items are not quickly and easily replaced, then the claim that the items are of nominal intrinsic value is less plausible, and opens up an alternative interpretation. That the money you pay an MMO is locker rental, and if the company is at fault (by using cheap locks, etc) they could be responsible to return the rent paid on the locker and/or the value of its contents. -not a lawyer- Is that really going to be the case for stolen accounts though? I would imagine most stolen account occur not because someone breaks into the metaphorical locker, but because someone steals the key from you, which you had an implied duty to protect. Hell, an actual locker place would probably charge you for key and lock replacement. Also a real life locker rental place would have an ironclad term of service that states they aren't responsible for the contents of the locker, and can't guarantee its safety. Speaking of metaphors, I know I'm just a pleb lurker, but why do people mock "huge milestone" so much? It seems pretty clear to me that "huge" isn't part of the metaphor, and the phrase is just denoting that you've passed a metaphorical milestone that has a contextual significance or importance, hence it's a huge "milestone", not a "huge milestone". I would understand getting annoyed at people who mix metaphors and talk about hitting milestones, rather than passing milestones and hitting targets (though I am totally okay with visualisation of CIG constantly hitting huge milestones), but this seems to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

I would imagine most stolen account occur not because someone breaks into the metaphorical locker, but because someone steals the key from you, which you had an implied duty to protect. Hell, an actual locker place would probably charge you for key and lock replacement. With an account full of jpegs, what do I actually "own"? I don't have an exclusive right to the jpeg, which may be multiplied endlessly; that's considered the intellectual property of the company. Can I give it away? Maybe, but there are likely in-game rules about that which everyone is probably going to not challenge because it may break the game otherwise. (As an example, to prevent the sort of twinking/boosting that tended to plague EQ1, WoW popularized the concept of binding an item the character so it was not tradable. This is not a controversial concept nowadays and is an intrinsic part of the game's balance.) I can dispose of items, sure, but I am not necessarily allowed to dispose of the account in any manner inconsistent with the ToS, which haven't really been challenged on the merits. I basically have a license to go onto the servers and accumulate entries in a database. Whether that counts as an existing type of property that is simply measured differently than before, inasmuch as your bank balance is cash money but a number in a computer as opposed to a pile of literal dollars in a vault, or something new and undefined has to my knowledge not been settled as a point of law. If someone breaks into a bank's systems and siphons money, that's a million different felonies. An online account holding jpegs? We don't know. At worst, so far, it may only be unlawful use of a computer system. It's not, per se, theft, under how the courts would view it, and couldn't be prosecuted as such. Property law is an accretion of literal centuries of court cases and statutes. This sort of intangible definition of property is not unknown, but it's been the sort of thing that a lawmaker (king, Congress, etc.) comes out and states in unambiguously language that "here's a new form of property," and that's not happened. Yet.

Dongsturm posted:I can't follow the logic here. Depend of the content of the file. Remember that 60$ monocle memo that forced CCP to flew its biggest whales in for emergency meetings during the "Burn Jita" event ? The file may be full of little tidbits like "How do we monetize this ? Could we charge more ? Will the player accept "X" ? Sometime early work is scrapped for a good reason (and not the rambling of a manchild playing director with undeserved M$) and maybe the early works is really unflatering to the subject. Earliest screenshoot of Starcraft looked like a flat, neon colored Warcraft 2 and yet the end result became a South Korean religion. All of the above could have little real impact on the final product quality, but could damage its perception in the gamers media, thus affecting CD projekt red stock price.

kw0134 posted:So when lawyers talk about property, they talk about "a bundle of rights" that denote ownership under the law. The right to possession, the right of disposal, the right of exclusivity, etc. With our figurative NPR totebag, that's obvious: I can use, sell, junk, lend, or refuse to lend it any way I like. I own it, unambiguously, under classical notions of property law. Is that significantly different to a software license though? I don't have an exclusive right to Windows 10, I can't give it away, but I could dispose of it. But if someone takes my Windows 10 key, they've denied me access to my licensed software. Or stealing your iTunes or Amazon Movies accounts. I don't own any of that stuff, I just have an agreement with the people who do. I feel like this must have been settled in a court somewhere. It can't be that there has never been a case involving someone being caught stealing laptops, with the contents of those laptops being considered either way for restitution.
