Companies patent dumb ideas all the time with no real intention to develop them. No harm in mocking them for it, but I wouldn’t be ringing alarm bells unless they actually start implementing it in their vehicles.

Additional fines and, if necessary, sanctions. If you refuse to pay a fine imposed by the EU then guess what? You can’t do business in the EU any more.
So do you think this research is invalid, or are you just being snarky for the sake of it?
Yes, but they were already on Steam - this release is new
TLDR: the ‘novel technique’ is PWAs
As a kid I thought they were shouting ’Uncle Fester!’ and wondered what the Addams Family had to do with WW2
Not just the engine, no.
the company is planning to make its proprietary Carbon Development Platform – which encompasses the studio’s Carbon Engine and other technology – an open source property
The correct answer is because game developers are, as a rule, not unionised. No one is pushing developers or publishers to properly credit their staff, so a lot of them simply don’t.
Okay, I can’t think of any examples off the top of my head, but this can’t be true, can it?!
Surely Nintendo have made at least one game with some kind of procedural content??
Delisting always sucks, but it looks like they’re at least doing what they’ve done for previous Forza titles: still available to play if you bought it digitally or physically, and if you played on Game Pass but bought DLC they’ll send you a free copy of the base game itself.
Microsoft is a terrible company, but at least they treat their back catalogue with some degree of respect. I just wish Sony cared more.
what usually gets lost on people is how Mac tended to have had things first, like everything has Bluetooth now, but Mac OSX had it long before Windoze did
That’s just not true - in fact, Apple is well-known for repeatedly releasing ‘new’ products/features that already existed elsewhere, but acting like they invented it. That goes all the way back to the original Macintosh.
Or, to use your example, everything I can find says MacOS added Bluetooth support in 2004, while Windows XP was patched to support Bluetooth in 2002.
MacOS is good software, but let’s not pretend Apple hasn’t built their entire empire based on pinching other people’s ideas and marketing them better.
Hopefully it’ll be an improvement on Force Commander
Can you imagine if Rembrandt had an executive committee behind him dictating what to paint a picture of
I get what you’re saying, but you realise all the great renaissance painters worked on commission, right? So yes that’s exactly what happened.
Start paying attention to the top new & trending Spotify playlists in genres you’re interested in.
What monopoly? Xbox holds the smallest share of the console market.
True, but my point is that having to use third-party tools just to access games you bought without downloading a desktop client isn’t as consumer-friendly as the way GOG offers offline installers directly for every game.
It’s true that most (not all) old games on GOG now are also on Steam, but I do still find the GOG versions are often better configured, sometimes with custom or community patches preinstalled that Steam doesn’t include.
But you do still need to install Steam to get the files at all. GOG lets you download installers from the website, and the desktop client is completely optional.
This is how projects die. Duckstation had a good run at the top, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it dethroned if it becomes a dramafest with bizarre restrictions on forks and distribution.
