VPN to buy games, fuck that if it's allowed or not, or just use a VPN and torrent what you can.
Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick doesn't think AI will reduce employment or lower development costs, and calls it "stupidest thing" he's ever heard.
They already have AI trained to do coding.......
How he thinks it's stupid is beyond me, Especially since we see it happening in real time.
I think maybe sometimes we give people in these positions too much credit when it comes to intelligence.
As long as it doesn't effect his inflated executive salary or his ridiculous bonuses I'm sure he's fine with it.
Hahaha yeah trust the CEO suit over the actual developers making the games. Good one.
Windows Central writes: "Many PlayStation Studios games that are ported to PC get dedicated PS5 DualSense support, which allows users to experience haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support without actually having to own a PS5.
According to Hermen Hulst, head of PlayStation Studios, it's still the company's intent to launch the bigger single-player games on PS5 first, before later bringing the games to PC. This might not be the case for multiplayer games however, which are considered okay to launch simultaneously on console and PC."
My guess is after god of war. Probably last of us 2 that's a almost 4 year old game now and by the time it's released on pc it will be more than 4 years old or close to 5.
Personally, I am against these types of lawsuits. However in Microsoft's case which has managed to make billions off of other people's products by claiming that competitors like Google stole their patent, I think its just medicine. Now let it be known that many companies do this and nothing will stop lawyers from trying to get paid for doing nothing. I think the worst of this was definitely King's lawyers and the whole attempt to patent the word 'candy'.
Microsoft You always make news bad or good at a constant at this point.
Since they mention PUBG does that mean they are going after Epic since PUBG uses Unreal Engine 4
If companies or individuals were unable to protect there investment with intellectual property rights, we would not see the advancement of technology, medicine etc that we currently take for granted.
Who knows how much investment was spent in developing the tools protected under those patent rights, why shouldn't they be entitled to profit from their investment.
If MS have infringed then they deserve to be held to account, you better believe that if the roles were reversed, MS would seek to prove infringement.
