Sexuality involving children is fucking bad, even if ironic or whatever. It's not puritanism, it's fucking common sense.

Tumblr is pretty awesome though, I mean where would all these people go if they didn't have it:
Tumblr SJWs are mostly results of echo chamber. Since tumblr is hugbox for all kinds of retards, they never get their views questioned by anyone and hundreds of people giving them virtual hugs everytime they say something stupid, tumblerites become more and more radical in their views. And then they spill their brain damage to other sites.

The first bit in particular is a fucking masterpiece.

Must be a troll. The way it goes through several retarded straw men to reach a even more retarded one can't be true, can it?

That's what I'd like to believe as well, however, I showed that pic to a few people, and while most of them made gargling noises and tried to stab themselves, one actually said that "it makes sense".

So, yeah.

Running over people and killing innocent bystanders is fucking bad, even if ironic or whatever. It's not puritanism, it's fucking common sense.

People will never run out of things to be shocked and awed. If they get sanitized by killing, then rape is the next step in the medium of controversies. Common sense for me but not for thee. Or at least this is what happens when this kind get in the way (trigger warning: not about games)

Yes. But what's your point ? If people are okay with violence they should be okay with any kind of depravity and perversion ?

Careful in arguing with dnf, though. He's known for masturbating to kiddie porn.
Love the way people manufacture lies about me. Kinda like propaganda.

If it was a real time machine sale, wouldn't those games would be as expensive as they were back in the day? :M

You can find Brussard's butthurt here, by the way.

Public domain is a non-argument. Just pirate games if you don't feel they're worth money.

If you buy a game on gog you're doing it because you like the service gog provides.

(you can also use it to vote with your wallet and send a message to publishers that there is a market for certain kinds of games)

Why is it a "non-argument"? Even patents end after 20 years and the content industry has been lobbying for increasing terms for decades.

There's the "Mickey Mouse curve" with the Walt Disney Company lobbying for passing new laws to extend the term before their Copyright of their old works runs out (which is ironic seeing as most of their early works and the success they gained was due to them being Public Domain to start with).
(C)Term%26MMCurveSmall.gif


Look at "Based On": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Walt_Disney_Pictures_films
Snow White, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella etc. were based on popular works

In the case of Bambi they were even sued and argued Public Domain themselves: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambi,_a_Life_in_the_Woods#Copyright_dispute
When Salten originally published Bambi in 1923, he did so under Germany's copyright laws, which required no statement that the novel was copyrighted. In the 1926 republication, he did include a United States copyright notice, so the work is considered to have been copyrighted in the United States in 1926. In 1936, Salten sold some rights to the novel to MGM producer Sidney Franklin who passed them on to Walt Disney for the creation of a film adaptation. After Salten's death in 1945, his daughter Anna Wyler inherited the copyright and renewed the novel's copyrighted status in 1954. In 1958, she formulated three agreements with Disney regarding the novel's rights. Upon her death in 1977, the rights passed to her husband, Veit Wyler, and her children, who held on to them until 1993 when he sold the rights to the publishing house Twin Books. Twin Books and Disney disagreed on the terms and validity of Disney's original contract with Anna Wyler and Disney's continued use of the Bambi name.

When the two companies were unable to reach a solution, Twin Books filed suit against Disney for copyright infringement. Disney argued that because Salten's original 1923 publication of the novel did not include a copyright notice, by American law it was immediately considered a public domain work. It also argued that as the novel was published in 1923, Anna Wyler's 1954 renewal occurred after the deadline and was invalid. The case was reviewed by the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, which ruled that the novel was copyrighted upon its publication in 1923, and not a public domain work then. However, in validating 1923 as the publication date, this confirmed Disney's claim that the copyright renewal was filed too late and the novel became a public domain work in 1951.

Copyright laws as they are now are FUCKING RETARDED and mainly there to protect the "rights" of huge Multinational Corporations. One should be expected to be able to make the money on a product back in the first 10 or 20 years of its release.

The next expansion of the Copyright Term is already being worked on with the TPP: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2012/08/all-nations-lose-tpps-expansion-copyright-terms
Under this proposal, if the copyright holder is a natural person (an individual), the copyright term would extend to the lifetime of the creator plus 70 years after her death as a minimum. On average, this means that a work could only enter the publicdomain after almost 140 years.2 This provision in particular surpasses restrictions as laid out in the US Copyright Act that sets the 70 years as a ceiling,3 whereas TPP sets the 70 years term as the minimum requirement. In the case of published works whose copyrights are owned by corporations, the term of protection would extend to 95 years from the first publication. Finally, corporate works that were not published within 25 years of its creation, are protected the term of protection is 120 years from the date of the creation.

This provision expands the terms of the controversial US SonnyBonoCopyrightTermExtensionAct (or the “MickeyMouseAct” as it was called due to Disney’s heavy lobbying) to countries of the Pacific region. New Zealand, a party to the TPP negotiations, currently has a copyright term of the author’s life and an additional 50 yearsforliteraryworks. Another TPP member, Malaysia, has a copyright term of life plus 50 years for “literary, musicalorartisticwork.” Canada, which is just entering negotiations, has an even shorter term of just 50 yearsforfixedsoundrecordings. PursuanttothecurrentTPPterms [pdf], all of these countries would be required to extend their terms and grant companies lengthy exclusive rights to works for no empirical reason.

The common justification for granting restrictive monopoly rights in copyright law is to provide an “incentive” for people to generate material that can be enjoyed by the public. But economists and law scholars who have studied this rationale have found that “the optimal length of copyright is at most seven years.”4 Long copyright terms are a poor recipe for compensating creators, who generally receive lowroyalties from their works.5 And yet, the strong copyright lobby preventsanyrecommendation to reduce the presently excessive terms, attacking any attempt to speak for the public domain or for users rights and dazzles politicians with nonsensical “copyright math”.

Copyright law gives rightsholders exclusive rights to use and profit from creative works, and, in theory, secure economic rights to the creator for their efforts. In most cases however, this right has been abused in a way that deprives the public of valuable culture and knowledge. Lengthy copyright terms are simply not needed to incentivize creativity. Not only is this most plainly obvious where terms extend past the life of an author, the public domain is a necessary source from which authors can learn and create. It is the fueling source of our shared culture, and it recognizes that we are always “building on the past”. Significantly, “[t]he more we tie up past works in ownership rights that do not convey a public benefit through greater incentive for the creation of new works, the more we restrict the ability of current creators to build on and expand the cultural contributions of their forebears.”6

Although it might (hopefully) end up failing like SOPA/PIPA and ACTA before it since a lot of nations have woken up and are pretty divided on the IP Chapter in regards to what the US wants to get out of it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs...not-an-agreement-among-like-minded-countries/

Because it has nothing to do with whether or not you want to pay money to GoG to download a game.

They said that this is the reason of the censorship.

http://www.siliconera.com/2014/01/23/idea-factory-explain-the-censorship-in-monster-monpiece/

"Western society is not as lenient as that of Japan when sexual images are involved—especially images of humanoids that appear to be younger than a socially acceptable age."

While some cards are questionable, most of them don't resemble underage girls. Unless your definition of "underage" is the same of Jason Schreier.
Yeah what's up with American audiences and their disdain for kiddie porn.

Fucking prudes.

I think you'll find that most women (and indeed most people in general) still consider video games to be a juvenile hobby. We gamers do a good enough job surrounding ourselves with like-minded individuals that we don't tend to notice.

I'm not really sure where all these feminists are coming from, maybe they're like that tropes vs women person and they're just here to scam money from idiots, or maybe they're just desperate for attention. I mean, there are radical feminists bitching about everything from movies to kid's toys, but in other hobbies they get ignored for the most part. Gaming is the only area that seems to have embraced the radical feminist agenda to the point where it's taking over.
How is feminism exactly taking over? Because of a few imbeciles ejaculating their diatribes at tumblr? The only game company I can think of that claims to give a fuck about female audience is Bioware - the same Bioware that created pansexual smurf bithces from space fucking with lizards and stripping in night clubs, Miranda's ass, EDI's cameltoe, or even Morrigan who basically wanders around in her bra. It's just the magic of the Internet, where one dog barking loud enough may seem like a whole population of wolves.

I got downrepped at GOG for saying that Anita Whatshername looks like she can give a mean blowjob...
