Earlier this week, the district court of the Western District of Washington favoured Valve Corporation in its 2023 lawsuit against Leigh Rothschild and his associated companies, on all counts, including breach of contract and the violation of Washington's Patent Troll Prevention and Consumer Protection Acts. Rothschild is an inventor with a huge array of patents to his name, granted and pended, covering an extremely broad range of fields. He also owns or leads a host of companies that manage the business side of patents. In this particular legal case, Valve alleged that Rothschild himself, Rothschild Broadcast Distribution Systems LLC, Display Technologies LLC, Patent Asset Management LLC, Meyler Legal LLC, and Samuel Meyler were guilty of "bad-faith assertions of patent infringement", amongst other things. The patent in question is US8856221B2, a 'system and method for storing broadcast content in a cloud-based computing environment'. Rothschild Broadcast Distribution Systems (RBDS) owns the rights to that patent, and in 2016, Valve obtained a "perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, worldwide license" for it and others in Rothschild's portfolio.

> FINAL FANTASY VII - 2013 Edition owners can redeem the new version at no extra cost. > The world has fallen under the dominion of the Shinra Electric Power Company, a sinister corporation that has monopolized the planet's very life force as Mako energy. In the urban megalopolis of Midgar, an anti-Shinra rebel group calling themselves Avalanche have stepped up their campaign of resistance. Cloud Strife, a former member of Shinra's elite SOLDIER unit now turned mercenary, lends his aid to the rebels, unaware that he will be drawn into an epic battle for the fate of the planet, while having to come to terms with his own lost past. This new release is an upgraded version of FINAL FANTASY VII – 2013 Edition with additional features (there are no changes or additions to the story). > > ...

Before the ukraine war, I noticed that a bunch of insults in that game were targetting Russians like saying SUKA BLYAT in a mocking tone. Some of The U.S fan base generalize(d) russians as if they're like this.

Seems like a f2p For Honor-esque game. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

Just finished it up - really enjoyed it, doesn't take itself too seriously or punishes the player with difficulty. Definitely didn't drag as much as the original. The french dwarf dude wasnt as annoying. Will have to replay the original to see what was cut. Curious as to what others thought.

It's the story of a really dominant runner in the Mario Kart 64 community and the new game-breaking tricks that threatened to change up the scene. It's a long video, but Summoning Salt is always worth it.

Warning - there are no spoilers in my question, but there will probably be gameplay mechanics spoilers in any answers (hopefully). I'm downloading Lies of P now to give it a shot. I'm not a big fan of RPG elements in these types of games (blasphemy I know), I prefer a focused experience; for example I liked Bloodbourne but never finished it because of all of the options, but I absolutely loved every minute of Sekiro. Basically I can't be bothered with experimenting with builds and crunching numbers, it's not for me. I know any actual advice will depend on what I want the gameplay to feel like, so I guess all I can say is take Sekiro as an example - I'd probably be focusing on anything that will help speed and parrying (if any stats affect that?) and decent dodging. So, do you have any advice on things I should focus on, things I should avoid or wait to upgrade, weapons to aim for etc? I don't mind spoilers.

Curious about y'alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze money out of us.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/647291 I had a lot of fun with this game but the developers have made the very weird decision of temporarily shutting down the game until next year. The devs said they're going to rebuild parts of the game and add way more content and do a sort of "soft reboot". They announced this plan in March, but the game has officially shut down today.

Hi! I was wondering if there is any site or service where I can subscribe to a specific chosen game's release news? Let's say I want to get notified once the latest Metro game got released - or maybe the sequel to Atomic Heart. It could be in one year or in 5. In any case I'd like to not miss such a release and get notified (maybe) by mail. I'm not looking for a newsletter however. I remember "bandsintown" has this with my selection of bands and their events near me. I'd really appreciate any news about that! Thanks <3 PS: If this kind of content doesn't fit here please just remove it.
