I'm honestly not sure what happened internally with GOG. There's obviously a level of communication breakdown, but I really don't know beyond that. I don't think the intent was to string us along, but it also could have been handled better. As for Heineken, it's more like we were an insect getting a free ride on their already-planned campaign that shifted no doubt for reasons completely unrelated to us. The time from them offering to the cancellation was only about 1-2 months anyway, so there was probably a lot changing. As for the CA lawsuit, I didn't really have any new thoughts on it since when I made the video on it. I'm not surprised at all Ubisoft saying you don't own anything, their EULA says as much. In the USA, that takes precedence since you don't have the same consumer rights as other countries, hence why we've been focused elsewhere. It's like I said in the earlier video, they might win on the 1/1/2099 thing, but that would just be a one-time win and wouldn't stop future games being destroyed. I think you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than the courts determining the practice itself is unlawful in the US.
