It’s time to cease empowering tyrants and their censorious ways. Free press and mirror today!

4·8 days agoI’m surprised nobody’s talking about the rapists and genociders that blood bought this game.
But everyone else ITT already said my thoughts on the game itself. Where’s the big bad and high stakes story?
It’s the nipples.
Also, I’m extremely thankful Sephiroth wasn’t trans🏳️⚧️ in the final draft. It would have set the queer thesis in the wrong direction.
So then I was correct to spot the plea for positive review bombing his game. Two shades for Machiavellianing your workers, three for us.
“Drop honest feedback please!” is a much better response than “positive bomb this game please!”
But the Studio wants 🌈positive reviews🌈 bombing.
Depends the heuristics used. Bombing reviews most times do not cite their contentions, which can be dismissed.
Still doesn’t legitimize demands for positive reviews. Take honest feedback, or don’t.
This is advertising manipulation at it’s finest. Publishers are parasites, and should never be negotiated with.
Nice. Might as well make it a formal game of it’s own b4 JASRAC TDR, using legally distinct mechanics.
And here’s an opinion by a game publisher NOT invested in getting haggled by a monopolist.
OP, please do us a favor of titling post with the true thesis of the article, and not their disingenuous headlines. E.g.
Ziff Davis, Inc. $ZD has contracts with $NTDOY & ¥7974.T that it selected three people to blurb out things that aligns with their portfolios:
Stephen Kick, CEO of Nightdive Studios (which specialises in modern remasters of older, often out-of-print games) said that “seeing Nintendo do this is a little disheartening”, adding: “You would hope that a company that big, that has such a storied history, would take preservation a little more seriously.”
Videogame Heritage Society co-founder Professor James Newman is somewhat less convinced that Game-Key Cards will be a major issue, noting that it’s rare for a game on a cartridge to still be the same game years after release.
“Even when a cartridge does contain data on day one of release, games are so often patched, updated and expanded through downloads that the cart very often loses its connection to the game, and functions more like a physical copy protection dongle for a digital object,” he explained.
Meanwhile, Paul Dyson, director of the International Center for the History of Electronic Games at The Strong Museum in New York said the move to a future where all games are digital is “inevitable”, and that Nintendo has in fact been “in some ways, the slowest of the major console producers to be going there”.
Or like we say it in IBL
Alarmist headline.
The honest one:
NPO Game Preservation Society wants your donations to keep them afloat.
Your post is so criminal without links:
Gog, how are you even securing accounts? You mean securing access to accounts through 3rd party TOTP, which again, isn’t sessioning access authenticatively. We already invented that.
