- mimsee 5y agoIf a game gets DMCA’d, can the players who bought it still continue playing?
- LegitShady 5y agoMaybe but the person they purchased it from wasn’t authorized to distribute it or authorize them playing it.
- Kye 5y agoThey'll probably get a refund like with that unlicensed 1984 ebook incident.
- sellyme 5y agoYes. I have several hundred Steam games that have been removed from the store (dozens due to DMCAs), and the only game I'm aware of having ever been removed from user's libraries was The Culling 2.
- pksebben 5y agoappropriately named, it seems
- ngngngng 5y ago> Fat Fritz 2* engine with a massive new neural network Ah yes, the $80 Stockfish engine.
- TheGoodBarn 5y agoNever heard of ChessBase or the game before, but interesting choice on them to copy the Microsoft Word look and feel for their game haha.
- NavinF 5y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_(computing) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_(computing) Microsoft lets any program use that UI: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/windowsribbon/windowsribbon-introduction https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/windowsribbon... I've only seen a few programs take up the offer though. Probably because the style is almost synonymous with MS Office as you've noted
- garaetjjte 5y agoNotably AutoCAD also uses ribbon=style interface, though I'm not sure if they use MS implementation or their own.
- shadilay 5y agoI used AutoCAD a while back and it wasn't the MS ribbon UI but custom.
- pasc1878 5y agoOne point of writing for macos or Windows is to follow the system guidelines. So a good program should look and feel similar to other programs
- thom 5y agoWorth pointing out that ChessBase isn't strictly a game, it's more a research tool aimed at pros and club players. That said, it is a pretty poor UI even for those purposes.
