If you want to repost a link for larger discussion, go for it. I just found too many things yesterday.
By removing Rowling's name from HP books and trying to sell them, are they not attempting to sell a new product that violates copyrights?
I would guess so, but others can jump in.
I imagine she would still collect royalties. They still need to purchase the books form the publishers, so she's still getting her money. It's nothing more than an empty flex. It doesn't really do shit.
No because they aren't making new copies. Rebinding is fine especially after some "unrelated" damage.
No, she didn't write them anyway.
Remember when she said that black Hermione could be a thing, but the books clearly call her white? Rowling didn't write the books, she's just a propped up no-talent feminist with friends in the right places.
How can she not remember major details of her own book? Her whole backstory is extremely shady, I'll be vindicated one day.
Even The Simpsons poked at how books like hers are actually written.
And that's where we differ. She didn't write it. She was selected to be the face of it because she had the right hateful feminist beliefs.
Do you really believe someone like her could write a male protagonist? There's a reason her book contradicts a lot of her own views.
Her book doesn't contradict her worldview.
She thinks her side is Dumbledores Army and we are the Evil Ministry of Magic.
She's all for her side arming itself and fighting us.
She's a lesbian, first of all. Second of all, she's old enough to be my mother and extremely ugly.
That's not how copyright works.
I haven't played the new Mario vs Rabbids so I don't know. I do know the dance games need a break.
The gameplay mechanics are better than the first game, but the writing and the characters are dialed up a notch, so if you barely survived the first game's writing you may want to skip. The game also feels like it never fucking ends. So on one end there's lots of content, on the other you might feel like you're held hostage. They also weirdly really went hard on OC female Rabbid hybrids. Like, they were really banking on the "fan art" or something. Though at the same time, it's toung in cheek and surprisingly self aware. The character named "edge" for example. Though it's very obviously a jab at Cloud, so that is really going to piss some people off.
I wish they'd announce The Crew 3 already. The market is crying out for a non-EA racing game, especially with Forza Horizon going to the wall.
If they announce The Crew 3, they need to fix the driving physics and ESPECIALLY fix the rubberbanding AI.
I'm sort of wondering what they will do with the new Division game. It takes place in an actual town in Washington. I wonder if Ubisoft can actually get it right.
There won't be another, IMO. That series bombed hard.
The crew 2 was amazing until I looked at the map and realized it was inaccurate for the area. A giant swamp land in a desert is quite noticable.
That's true. They could definitely fix it up a lot.
I generally loathe Ubisoft games
