What Mald has done, instead, is cover EVERY INDIVIDUAL CASE as their own case.
Makes sense, given how he expected SKG to cover every single possible legal edge case or else it's shit and people can eat his entire ass. Insert Terry's quote about complexity vs simplicity here.
Imagine the fuckass minions from Despicable Me.
Don't talk shit about Minions, nigga.
I'm probably going to get a million stickers for this but there is one particular aspect of the petition which I believe is legally impossible to enforce.
Buddy, you've already sperged out in the SKG thread so hard that Useful_Mistake had to temporarily lock it and move your text walls of lolbert sewage to Mass Debates. Give it up already. Go outside. Get a hobby.
 
This is one of the areas where I'm extremely interested to see how it will shake out legally. However, I think the FAQ entry is just talking about whether it's a technical impossibility (which it isn't.) There have been cases such as SimCity 2013, where the ultimately arbitrary always-online requirement was billed as a technical constraint.
The harbinger of pandora's box of scumbag game journos was Simcity 2013 for me. When that smug faggot journo and his buddies all published articles (in a coordinated fashion, as we would all later find out) that it is IMPOSSIBLE for SC2013 to have its always-online requirement patched out. And, unless you are a network stack developed with a PhD, 25 years experience, and went to EA HQ's Mikoshi and examined it yourself you *are not allowed* to have an opinion on this.
 
I have learned more about coding and game development from this thread than I ever have from Jason's content. at the very least i know exactly what not to do should I ever take it up as a hobby.
The one thing to take away from this is precisely what Thor does, actually: It’s okay to fuck things up.

It is perfectly fine to not know what the hell you’re doing and stumble through the process of coding or doing art or whatever. It’s complicated, you’re not always going to succeed and that’s fine. It’s also okay to take to slow and not code shit for 6 months, it’s your own personal project you can fuck around if you want.

Just don’t announce the game before you’re done or you’re very close to being done, otherwise you make promises to people you might not be able to keep.
 
At first I thought that was 10120 and I was like "that's not so bad!" but then I noticed the little ^ and I realized that the number is actually 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,420,000,000,000,000,000,000,690,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

So, yeah, that wouldn't work.
That's one hundred and twenty quindecillion!

I gave you a dumb sticker for three reasons.

1. It absolutely would be possible to legally enforce a requirement for corporations to provide server software and for the license to use it be included in the purchase.

2. The initiative doesn't entail this as a requirement. In fact, providing server binaries is only mentioned as an example of a method by which game companies could in good faith argue that they have provided a reasonable end-of-life plan for sunsetting their product. And an end-of-life plan for products is what the initiative is about, not specifically source code or server binaries or your mother's pearl necklace that you seem to be deathgripping.

3. You basically asked for it.
 
Nigger, you were so mad about what I was saying, you went on my page and asked me how it felt to suck nigger dicks. I have never interacted with you, I don't know you. You're a faggot. Don't tell me to go outside when you're already behaving like a retard.

Picture for proof. You're gay and you will always be gay
lol calm down
 
I'm not kidding, roughly 25 years ago I had just implemented a Tic-Tac-Toe game in C++. Then I was saying to myself, I'll code Chess now. Let me start.

int a1;
int a2;
...

Then at a certain point I got bored, I couldn't even define the whole board. Then I continued reading my C++ book and realised that such things as arrays exist. Then I thought I could finally finish my chess game, tough luck.

Interestingly enough about 5 years later in an algorithms book I read about Alpha-beta pruning, representing the board memory efficiently, etc. Spoiler alert, again I was too lazy to finish a chess engine :-D
 
Which would be shocking if true because Undertale was coded by someone who clearly never coded before if you ever looked at it.
Fancy engineering is for software with extended runtimes or infrastructural importance that are going to be handed off and worked on by different teams of people over time. For one-off seminal works, nobody cares how under-engineered it is, and detractors just come out looking jealous so there's no upside.

Though I’m not convinced Toby’s code was worse than YadereDev’s pile of shit.
difference is, if undertale ran like shit, toby most likely would've had enough humility to admit he doesn't know what he's doing and hire someone to fix his shitty code. yandev actively worked against and eventually fired the professional programmer hired to fix his shit.

No stalker child I will not calm down you have no probable cause to search this house

I just read your entire thread essay, and while I agree with you, I feel you missed some nuance (spoilered because it contains legal jargon):

How does it feel to suck nigger cock on the daily?

Edit: now that you've read my spoiler, I don't agree with you.

Looking at this, my best guess is it's some form of puzzle where there is a 3x3 grid of buttons, one is selected by default, the player presses up, down, left, or right, and a new button is selected based on some unintuitive pattern. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and assume it makes more sense if you can see the UI, and that whatever pattern is used is too complicated to recreate without hard coding

But it's still cumbersome code, you can just encode the mappings as a 2d array, where arr[x][0] = What button is mapped to when button X is selected and up is pressed, arr[x][1] the same but for right, 2 down, 3 left. That way you would just need to type this (I didn't bother to copy the same numbers from his code).

Java:
int[][] mappings = {
    {1,2,3,4}, //0
    {4,6,4,3}, //1
    ... //6 lines truncated
    {3,2,1,7} //8
}

And then that entire 33 line if block can be replaced with
Java:
    if(global.leftKeyPressed) selectedButton = mappings[selectedButton][3];
and the other 3 blocks similarly


I mean there's still some magic number fuckery since you have to remember that 0 = UP and it goes clockwise, and a more prim and proper solution wouldn't be too difficult, but it gets the job done for a solo project and is still infinitely less retarded than Jason's way

Retarded Faggot says nothing of substance. News at 11.
Hey you fucking stupid bitch. Here's a previous post of mine showing an mmo that was shut down by the publisher and they just gave people the ability to play the game themselves. Same thing in the other thread where you and Chudboreans faggot ass refused to acknowledge it and only gave me a dumb post rating because you are retarded and wrong and I was right.

Basically game called Perpetuum. Client and server on steam, community server exists, yadda yadda yadda. More autism in my post I quoted because it is a giant wall of text. Point still stands though.
