Furthermore, I don't trust Microsoft to not do a gigantic oopsie and introduce a bug that emails screenshots of porn websites I visited to my Mum or some shit. Their QC is abhorrent.
Close as "won't fix". Easy. That's what their customer service does to your ticket, too, if it's too much to handle, so...
Two things:
I got the impression that “removing” means removing before it was really implemented. Like, it was planned and decided upon, but it wasn't ready. He checked the license and went “nope, not having it” and scrapped the feature. It doesn't truly become clear in the text, of course, but that's how I read this.
luckily, most games are easily modded: Just put a 1-2 frames black video file where the brand logos used to be. Done.
oh, it was the racing game? I must have gone through the text too quickly then. Yet, if we're pragmatic: How many people would have really enjoyed that game (which wasn't stellar to begin with) more with properly encoded surround sound, and how many would have enjoyed it a tad less because of the annoying logo spam on startup? I don't think Surround-Sound-enjoyers were the target audience for that one.
You need to toake into account that we're talking about a Kirby game here, which are all 2/2.5/sometimes 3D platformers. So The real effect of Dolby in such a thing would have been close to zero.
Publishers will like a database because it can be modified. If they were forced to implement such a system (thus abandoning all 'sell the same game to the same person twice' for different platforms), they'd oppose a blockchain system hard, since it would make it pricier to:
a) publish seven bazillion versions of any given game
b) revoke ownership of games just because it's cheaper to do that than honor the deal they made with customers
c) correct any data-fuckups they will inevitably make because they went for the cheapest route possible to implement this, and it went pear-shaped from day 3 onwards
I'm very much on the database-side here as well. I work for a Telco company here in Germany, and we use several such databases that are regulated by external bodies and government agencies to communicate between carriers (for number porting and such). Works great overall.
Oh come on, not everything said or done has a socioeconomic impact that's relevant in any way, shape or form and not everything needs to have one.
Not every joke one makes "trivializes" something hidden, no matter if one could find something it could "trivialize". Not every post has to be a message to better this world.
Sometimes, one needs to laugh at the weird shit that happens around all of us or we'll go depressed and crazy and bitter. Something you are moving towards already, tbf.
Nonono! You've gotten this all wrong! Technically speaking, it is recyclable. If you take each individual piece and treat it individually so you can separate all the different layers we glued onto each other from one another, that is. I mean, we could have just used one type of polymer, but then our package would have been 3.45% less shiny than that of the competition, We had a call about this. We all agreed that that's unacceptable, right? So all is tres bueno! Right?... Right?
