Has it ever worked out when a big studio buys the rights to a game from an indie?

I played Civ 1 as a kid and civ 2 was a big improvement. Civ 3 I had to stop playing because it was interfering with my college. Civ 4 was my favorite and I played thousands of hours of it (after BtS) great modding scene too. Civ 5 was ok, but i found I played it the same way a lot. I did not like Civ 6 at all, mostly because of the AI, but also the civics system.

I am not especially confident in Civ 7, but I will reserve judgement. I often play 4x games multi-player and if they use the same DLC policy as Civ 6 I will probably give it a miss.

Kills an 80 year old woman by running her over and then later murders the dog the woman was protecting.

This psychopath needs to never get out of prison.

I have had a hell of a time trying to get Shadow Empire running. It's the only title I have found that doesn't have kernel-level anticheat that doesn't work on Linux.

All unilateral contracts where one side holds all the cards and can arbitrarily dictate or even alter previously agreed to terms should be held to the strictest standards. This includes employment agreements, terms of service, license agreements and so on.

Contracts between equals can be more permissive.

The reputational damage that team of lawyers did to the company massively outweighs the cost of a settlement. I personally will never do business with a company who thinks the EULA or TOS of one service indemnifies them from egregious negligence in a completely different line of business. This was simply beyond the pale.

Edit to note: Despite the title, they aren't actually reversing course, they still claim they have the right to force arbitration, they are just choosing to waive it in this instance. If you do business with Disney, you are a fool.

If I want to know when I'm going to die, I'll ask an actuary like we did in the old days.

Conservatives typically call LGBT people much worse things than "weird".

He doesn't have trauma, he is watching because that was the moment everyone told him he won the election. It was his glory moment and he wants to relive it because he fears it slipping away. Spare me this disingenuous sympathy plea.

Shthufferrin' Shthuccotash! It's shtho shthmelly!

It's a good time to migrate to Linux!

If you need to run the EA launcher, I found it works best in Bottles.

Fascists are fragile specifically because they require absolute strength to rule. As soon as they are shown to be weak they are eaten by their own.
