With the implementation of Patch v0.5.5 this week, we must make yet another compromise. From this patch onward, gliding will be performed using a glider rather than with Pals. Pals in the player’s team will still provide passive buffs to gliding, but players will now need to have a glider in their inventory in order to glide.

How lame. Japan needs to fix its patent laws, it’s ridiculous Nintendo owns the simple concept of using an animal to fly.

    Does a patent protect the concept or the specific code?

    Depends on the patent.

    according to your definition of theft I’m 100% certain that’s the case

    It’s not “my definition of theft”, it’s “theft”. If you’re 100% certain, hit Amazon lawyers up, I’m sure they’ll love to talk to you about it - it’s literally free money for them and maybe a big payout for you, right?

    Thanks to those, or in spite of? You are focusing on outliers and expecting that to be a convincing argument to describe the typical.

    The hilarious thing is that you’re like so many other “revolutionaries” who come in and go: “oh no, the X rules are stifling the market/competition/free exchange of information/whatever” while being completely ignorant on how these rules came to be.

    It’s like these capitalists of today saying that OSHA needs to go because they’re losing profits to it, completely oblivious to the fact that it was the capitalists of the XIX century who created them to increase profits (because having to replace skilled labourers became a high cost factor).

    You strike me as someone who thinks that copyright and other IP protection laws are something that was set up in XX (maybe XIX) century as a means to protect the wealthy. Am I wrong?

    Fair, I was attempting to limit scope with only discussing patents

    Right. So when I refused to change the scope, you decided to call me an idiot. How very gentlemanly of you.

      Not how that works, stop talking out of your ass (Gottschalk v. Benson)

      It’s not “my definition of theft”, it’s “theft”.

      You keep switching between moral and legal arguments. They are not the same.

      Deflection

      You strike me as

      Strawman

        Not how that works

        It’s exactly how it works. You can patent the code, the solution, the material, whatever the fuck you want. That’s what a patent IS.

        You keep switching between moral and legal arguments. They are not the same.

        Oh, do elaborate!

        Deflection

        Example of a similar thought-process.

        Strawman

        Huh? That wasn’t an argument, mate, that was an assumption and a question. Are you OK?

        I still kinda’ hope I’d get an answer, though.

        Literally mirroring your words back at you

        Well, not “literally” and not quite “mirroring”. I think you need some rest, mate, you seem tired and unfocused.
