Is this a high-res thief 2 shot? If so, I may have to get onboard with this. This is why I love PC gaming. How awesome is this? I feel a little lightheaded, that hallway looks almost photorealistic. Never dreamed of this day. |

Further, the privileges created by the first sale principle do not "extend to any person who has acquired possession of the copy or phonorecord from the copyright owner, by rental, lease, loan, or otherwise, without acquiring ownership of it." See 17 U.S.C. § 109(d). Most computer software is distributed through the use of licensing agreements. Under this distribution system, the copyright holder remains the "owner" of all distributed copies. For this reason, alleged infringers should not be able to establish that any copies of these works have been the subject of a first sale. Steam is between a rock and a hard place. Everyone knows we don't 'own' the games due to all previous EULAs we've agreed to. People here would be the first to state that we effectively 'rent' the games on Steam.
The stickier issue is that until the Supreme Court weighs in on the most recent case, the only games on Steam that could be resold in Germany, are games made in Germany (Gothic, Risen, etc). The rest are barred from being resold without violating copyright by any standard.
Very problematic situation brewing here.
There was also a Texas court that passed a completely opposite judgment than the one passed in Germany, about a week after. So at this point it's a US copyright attitude (which goes all the way up both political party ladders to the highest people in our government), vs sensible EU judicial judgement. We've got ourselves an international trade dispute.
Steam executives must be having migraines over this. |

So if they ever applied this to game Kickstarters (which they don't), the 'risks and challenges' section is supposed to be the equivalent of Gamasutra's Postmortems of games (What went Right/What went Wrong). If we're being accurate anyway. Now Kickstarter game designers will need a psychic on their team to provide the clairvoyance necessary!
Edit: Clarification |

I only charge it once every 1.5 weeks, that's pretty super. If I used my Android continuously, I'd have to charge it once every 1.5 hours.

Helicopters merged from previous games do not have the advanced Take On Helicopters flight model applied to them, and rather fly using the flight models found in the games they originated in. Still, this is pretty cool. Someone must have been working on this in their spare time just because they could.
I wonder if the ACE mod which enhances flight HUDs and everything else Arma-related can work with ToH now... |

What an asshole. Political affiliations and associated kneejerk reactions aside... actually, his unhinging may have started a few years ago when he in fact got on Celexa, which was around October 2007, to control his anger problems, by his own admittance. Considering he's threatened to disband the company over this, it would appear that medication isn't working for his anger problems... |
