There always the aspect of keeping old hardware alive and useful.

Villager for Smash,
Mario/Rosilina for Mario kart.

Yay!

Things are going well.

Hoping to see France meet the milestone since that’s where the focus of the campaign was.

I wish I could sign from the UK.

Who, other than children, do not know this yet?

Their parents, new/casual games, charity shops that might want to resell, etc.

It just slaps a big bold 'haha the fuck you isn’t even in the fine print anymore’ label on a product and makes our cyberpunk dystopia a little bit more obvious, but doesn’t achieve any useful goal in terms of altering actual game design/support or consumer rights.

True, but that would make it slightly easier for offline games, games that allow for private hosting, and games with an end of life plan that would allow it. They would be able to compete more easily if they could be easily identified. That could then incentivise companies to add end of life plans.

A step in the right direction would be great. Even if it’s a small step.

I believe another alternative would be to make it completely clear that you’re getting a temporary license. You shouldn’t be able to try to make it look like you’re buying a game when you don’t then even own.

Disabling Manifest V2 will break a lot of extensions apparently.

For general use AI image manipulation, you may want to look into Stable Diffusion.

Great comment.

Not sure why Steam Play isn’t on by default.

Mario being such a big part of my childhood makes it sad that stuff takes like 100 years to enter public domain.

I wish it was 20 years.
Imagine how much easier fan games, modding, and emulation/preservation would be!

Galaxy was amazing!

RMS’s biography “Free as in Freedom” seems to be under the GNU Free Documentation License, incase that’s anything to go by.

I would. There’d hopefully be an exodus.

Translation layers are vital for preservation.

The malicious people in NVIDIA who are pushing for this are being very evil right now.

Theo?

Fond memories of the Street Pass games and RPG maker FES.

Yeah. I’m talking about the sort of AI that was mentioned briefly at the end of that video. Enemy AI doesn’t need to be complex. Only optimised for enjoyment.

Interesting and funny, but still just a language model.

When games can have AI that can be indistinguishable from humans, that might not be the best thing for society, but it would make some great games.

Imagine the dating sims!

I’ve been a Nintendo gamer most of my life and recently got a Steam Deck.

I’ve never really played or seen much of an appeal with most US studio games.

With how much many companies are trying to take power away from us, it does feel very satisfying when you find a game that’s available under a free, redistribution-permissive, license that you find very fun. Sadly, those are very few.
