Still mad about this one

Final space was so good. Cartoon Expanse

Owl House and South Park truly belong to same category

Yeah one of the GTA games on steam was a cracked copy

Edit: my bad. Manhunt, Midnight Club 2 and Max Payne 2.

Probably their contracts forbid them to, so even if they save something, it is practically piracy anyway.

Most code written by software engineers work the same way. The code is owned by the company, the employee can't keep any of it after you leave or is fired.

I think the first season was pretty excellent. The mystique disappeared a little bit after that, which definitely changed how the episodes felt going forward, but it was still good

I'd recommend Final Space if you haven't heard of it, as well as Scavengers Reign for a newer title

Yep marvel shifted to put out shit and take in the cash. They forgot it has to be good for people to go. At this point superhero movies should be shelved the public is not going to them, and they have damaged the brand.

Looks like the company logo, Running with Scissors.

They are saying they would like you to buy the game either from them directly (I assume on their website or something) or via steam, or GoG or if all else fails for you then pirate it.

I assume they are stating in order of preference.

Presumably if you buy the game directly from them they get 100% of the cut.

TLDR from Factorio devs: piracy costs only pirates(electricity bill, internet bills), resellers costs game studios a lot(fees, chargebacks) and often are part of fraud and money launderung.

They sometimes buy keys using stolen credit cards. When the fraud is found out, the banks will request the money from the developer. They in turn often don't have a way to lock the fraudulent key, so it remains valid.

The costs for the initial bank transfer, plus the time invested in returning the money to the credit card holder are payed by the developer.

The key reseller has a 100% profit margin, the customer has a valid and cheap game key, and the developer actually lost time and money.

This is the latest example that sparked it off again, but stuff like this has been going on for a decade. Many animators and vfx artists who work for high profile companies never get the final versions of their work and sometimes work on locked down servers where they can’t easily copy the work for themselves. They are at the whim of the company to provide them the files. Usually they are ignored so the artists resort to pirating the work to then edit it down and showcase on their websites and reels.

This Zaslav guy's kind of dumb, overpaid piece of shit, eh?

Anyone know how the $250 mil he's paid in stock options works? In one of the links in the article above it says he only gets that money if the stock goes above a certain price. Surely, there's tiers or brackets or something, right? Like, considering the stock has only gone down, it seems hard to believe he literally gets zero value out of all that stock
