    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    You say that, but large swathes of the later PS4 library came with PS5 upgrades for free or for a small fee. Even without those the games simply play better on the 5. I fully suspect the PS5 to PS5 Pro transition will not be too dissimilar. I also disagree with the premise - if you’re going...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    It’s completely unrealistic to expect any more than what is being offered, the Pro is already trading blows with last year’s unobtanium. People forget that the most popular GPU on Steam as of the moment of writing is the 3060, accounting for nearly 1/10th of users. We can drone about PC Master...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    You say that, but as of January the console sold 48.93 million units, and we’re gearing up for Easter which is a big gift giving season around the world, so that number will jump by quite a lot. The supply was definitely terrible throughout the pandemic, but I think the long-lasting perception...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    It’s weird to think about, but the thing released in 2020. The pandemic “ate” 3 years of everyone’s lives so our perception of time is a little skewed. In reality the PS5 is right around the half-way point of its life cycle.

    Capcom survey asks fans directly which Resident Evil remake they'd like to see next

    Dead Aim is the one I’m especially interested in. They could just bundle all three as Survivor Chrinicles or something since they’re quite arcade-y in nature anyway.

    Capcom survey asks fans directly which Resident Evil remake they'd like to see next

    The most obvious candidates would be Code Veronica and 5. Personally I’d like to see some of the lesser known and lesser played titles like the Survivor series, perhaps remade to be played with a gun (PSVR 2?) or in third-person perspective. I always wanted to try them out, but I didn’t have a...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    It’s definitely *not* cut and dry and I’m not presenting it as such, it’s how I would argue it in court if I was pressed to do so. Yuzu made the correct decision to settle out of court because it’s not an easy thing to explain in a courtroom where you’re surrounded by suits who, realistically...

    ESG scores

    Environmental, Social and Governance score. What the OP is probably referring to is the latest Sweet Baby Inc. controversy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental,_social,_and_corporate_governance To cut a long story short, companies are generally incentivised to have those matters under...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    It is perfectly legal and permissible to reverse engineer a system in order to demonstrate how it works. You can publish those findings, that is not illegal. Knowledge isn’t illegal, acts are illegal. 17 U.S. Code § 1201 specifies this very clearly - “to ‘circumvent a technological measure’...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    This is incorrect, and has been discussed to hell and back. Not only does the emulator *not* do that, you could very easily argue that it falls under the interoperability exemption if it did. The emulator itself is completely incapable of bypassing any copy protection whatsoever - it requires a...

    It is not so long as you are not actively monetising trade secrets. You have to reverse engineer it yourself.

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    From what I understand, the Wii was Nintendo’s last ditch effort after taking the N64 and the Gamecube on the chin, but it was successful enough to withstand the Wii U bombing horribly. It really doesn’t take *that* much. Besides, nobody wants the company to go bankrupt, rather to course...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Sony and Microsoft already smell blood in the water and are doing just that. Nintendo has a different strategy, they believe they can both build the mill and provide the water that spins it. That’s a good thing and bodes well for the future of Nintendo’s hardware, they’re committed to creating...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Nintendo *does* see it that way because they’re actively selling emulated games, and have done so for many years. They want to sell you the same porridge over, and over, and over again, and they want you to say “thank you” for giving you the opportunity. “I already own this game on my GBA, give...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    The video game industry operates on extremely narrow margins and every sale counts. Media has been devalued to almost nothing - if we were to adjust the cost of video games for inflation properly we’d be paying hundreds of dollars a pop. You might think that you choosing to take your money...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    There is absolutely nothing untoward about making a for profit emulator. That is not illegal, and never was. As for the keys, it is ultimately the user who has to circumvent copy protection and extract one from a device in order for the emulator to function. Yuzu did not feature any copyrighted...

    ”I don’t care how many puppies Miyamoto personally kicked, I just have to buy “New Nintendogs + Cats + Parrots Soccer” or I’ll scream”. It is perfectly reasonable to remind people who have a problem with this kind of litigiousness that they’re actively bankrolling the perpetrator. It’s not the...

    They haven’t, and you could’ve easily found that out yourself if you just went on Twitter to check. @Nintendo is the handle for the Japanese branch of the company, they don’t tweet in English and this tweet doesn’t exist.
