Here's the latest videochat. This one was a little different, the first 45 minutes or so was just talking about possible plans for legal action against Ubisoft for The Crew shutdown + related topics.

ImZerw: That's only an attempt to prevent making it literally illegal for buyers to ATTEMPT to restore a game after shutdown. It would do nothing for companies encrypting them then shutting them down. LeeMullinsII: Yeah, I'm surprised they covered it actually. Also, I'll be doing a live videochat today where I'll talk some more about it. Regarding game v. software, I don't think there's much of a legal distinction, it's more about good v. service. Additionally games can have unique artistic content, which might give them a little more consideration in some European countries.

The quote button is busted at the moment. " Ross, your points are as always well taken. Also, many years ago you and I got in a little tiff here where I derided The Crew and the genre of driving game it represented as having little value and an extremely limited appeal. Over the years I've realized I was just wrong, and I just had a too limited sense of empathy or too little experience to understand your perspective. " You can dislike The Crew and racing games in general, apply the same business model to any other game or creative works and it's just as much a problem. The game itself is kind of irrelevant, the concept itself is just so bad. " One thing...I think the person who made that quote about owning nothing was coming from a socialistic model of centralized ownership rather than just corporate ownership, though it definitely gives a bad look. " The World Economic forum sure has a lot of billionaires if it's a socialist organization.
