Waffleman_ posted:The drama is actually not related to Eternal Darkness, which is considered to be a fantastic game. The drama you want to be looking at revolves around the studio's latest two games, X-Men Destiny and Too Human, the latter of which was Dyack's pet project. The real thing that killed the studio though was their lawsuit against Epic claiming that they got a lovely version of the Unreal engine with little to no documentation. They lost, Epic counter-sued and won with the judge ruling that all copies of SK games that used the Unreal engine had to be destroyed and they owed Epic something like $6 million.

RottenK posted:Didn't Broken Age 1 sold pretty well? And that other game, Massive Chalice, seems to be doing ok. It's in early access, but from what I heard it's feature complete and they have enough budget money left to finish the developement (I guess they kept Scahfer away from this one). They laid off people because an unnamed publisher hired them to make a game and then canceled the project.

Mike Nelson put out a post saying that he isn't interested because he's spent the last nine years putting Rifftrax together and that takes up all his time. CT ended a while back and it sounded like the whole thing just completely fell apart because AFAIK you can't buy their back episodes anymore. Joel actually put out a statement about the whole new cast and the reason why he's doing it that way. Basically he wants to establish this as a new chapter for MST3K.

This is a different thing, that was "Return to Valley Lodge" or something like that. Those assholes also caused problems with the Rifftrax Manos even by contacting them at the last second claiming they held the copyright but hey, just let them show up and do some promotion and everything would be fine.

Paramount has called the Axanar people's bluff by amending their lawsuit to enumerate what exactly is violating their copyright. Although it turns out they didn't really have to because the lead of the project very stupidly said in an interview that "We violate CBS' copyright less than any other fan film." https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2757228-Axanar-Klingon.html

This is literally all they have: " We don't pretend to have everything figured out. Far from it actually. This is simply an idea we have, that we feel we're not alone in. With your support, hopefully we can turn an idea into a reality. We hope to bring you updates in the form of videos if this goes well. Until then for the sake of legal reasons... We do not own anything Star Wars, or Star Wars related. This is merely an attempt to get the attention of Disney. Risks and challenges We understand it will be a long and hard road if anything happens. We promise to keep everything fan based."

RandomPauI posted:The thinking is it uses less power than the regular screen even if it stays on all the time. It also acts like another battery. So you get all the perks of the phone always on and running without the high power consumption. That's assuming it's a legit product. Even so, it'd be a niche product. Yeah, if they're using an e-ink screen then it really only uses an appreciable amount of power when the screen changes. Although having a screen on a protective case just seems like it defeats the purpose of a protective case as now you have to worry about that screen being scratched and I doubt they're using the same scratch resistant stuff that Apple uses.

It doesn't look like they're just dropping it. The way that article is worded sounds like they're going to create a structured thing for what is allowed by fan films and what will still get you sued. I wouldn't be surprised if one of the big things is basically telling fan filmmakers not to do what these guys did (like trying to sell their own Star Trek branded merchandise.)

That part is so weird because it has literally nothing to do with anything else going on with the story.
