See that sounds reasonable as a general case. But it is a lot less reasonable on specific cases when you get into the details. Like suicidal and/or deeply depressed kids who clearly have gender dysphoria. There isn't a one size

And I think we can all agree technical progress under the copyright system is moving much slower than it did back in da vinci's day.... If only we didn't have patents holding us back we would be investing way more in R&D...

If there is no IP I can just download your game and sell it on the epic store. In fact, Steam doesn't even need to pay the developers royalties at all.

I personally like that movies and videogames exist and can be made with large budgets because that generally makes them better. I don't see how that continues without IP.

It's more than that. Elon Musk has made himself a lightning rod with all his crazy person antics. People want to pile on him and if a video of a tesla going haywire helps them do that then it gets spread around everywhere far beyond no

I don't make tiny games really. Defy gravity is the only small game I ever made. I make bigger games. But the answer is use an engine. I used to both buy the rights and lease the rights to tons of small games though and then release th

The world is not the field of dreams. Don't move forward with a plan like this. Pubg was made by an extremely well known modder with a huge following. So many people have the mistaken impression that marketing doesn't matter. Ther

Assuming your game is coming out on switch there is almost certainly tons of money to be made by constantly deal discounting a game to 50 cents or less. When this used to be allowed on Steam we made over a million dollars a year deep discou

It really depends on your price point and the game. But assuming very small with little prelaunch marketing you really need to focus on getting on the new & trending list at launch. How do you do that? You want a lot of people to buy th

If you have a field of dreams mentality it certainly is. If you are ready to hustle for marketing your game I disagree. I have launched more small and medium games on Steam than most people, and if you are using the right strategy for the g

Can't you add a series of weird restrictions to the questions that make it very difficult for chatgpt to work with. Must use switch statement, must declare an iteration int on line 10. Must use a for loop to count down in reverse. If y

Art will get better and we will have artists that use AI tools to produce a lot more of it faster and entirely new professions will emerge as an evolution in art occurs and the world gets better. This is like saying that photoshop is going

If you are looking for a bunch of low quality art there are tons of free sources for that already. If this is what you mean when you say "putting artists out of work" you are really talking about less than 1% of where artist money

So I employ quite a few artists, and I don't see the problem. This whole thing basically seems more like a filter on photoshop then something that will take a persons job. If artists I employ want to incorporate this stuff into their w

Why wouldn't you accept money from someone running a seemingly legitimate business? People invested billions with him, it wasn't obvious ftx was scamming.

This has been happening to me a lot since Elon bought twitter. Not sure what has changed specifically. I guess they shut down a bunch of their servers to save money before everyone quit?

The most brilliant part of his plan is how he is needlessly antagonizing his own advertisers and threatening to send his crazed followers after them. That is how you grow a business. I'm sure the advertisers will come running to make d

People do care. If you openly associate your brand with strong support for a pro pedophile or pro rape position customers will care about that. The idea that they won't seems pretty ridiculous.
