Regardless, the use of the cloud in this game is for more than just to deter pirates. That much is clear. So you're right that its not "evil DRM" in the traditional sense, that shit failed and publishers moved on years ago. Online compon

No, its not that simple. Isn't this just a technical error (bug) that is a game dev's (or infrastructure engineer's) responsibility? Isn't mandating the constant involvement of otherwise unnecessary tech that is known to be error prone an

I could have sworn just a few months ago I read something on HN that the best way to get Apple to acutally fix a bug was to: 1. Submit to radar 2. Submit to open radar 3. Try to convince a developer evangelist on the inside your bug is wort

Seriously, we have to stop this macho cult bullshit. Fetishizing work is a good way to get fresh college graduates to work their hands to the bone until they burn out. I don't think its a coincidence that out of all the professional circ

How do you even define the problem you're trying to fix? The competitive nature of the marketplace has inherent perverse incentives. It doesn't get fixed, people just tend to adjust their world view in one of many potential ways that all
