Core Community vs Potential Newcomers Who Should Developers Cater to?

When AAA titles are commercially successful, you can bet anything that a sequel will almost immediately be in the works. This is where maybe the biggest ultimatum comes into play. It's an internal debate that occurs in almost every single video game studio around the world.

Sakurai is trying to hit that sweet spot with Super Smash Brothers Wii U. This game is a perfect example of all of this, I'm really curious to see how he decides to place it in between Melee and Brawl.

Copyright is copyright. DMCA is a good thing that protects creators IP., revenue and usage. and you can absolutely appeal a wrongful DMCA takedown. It’s happened to me. Was easily resolved.

it's a good thing, but it's also long been reported, across a variety of industries and websites, that currently the system is ripe for and full of abuses. From fair use strikes, to matters like the one reported in this article. It's clear the law needs some tooth to punish bad actors and that parameters need to be set in how reports are filed; ie human review of said content and not some AI bot false flagging stuff. As is the system is far to easily abused by those who have motive to suppress and flag content they have no business or right to.

No system will ever be perfect, but there needs to be a review, unless it blatant.

Until there's genuine consequences for this type of abuse, it'll keep happening across all media. DMCA is in principle a good thing, but it needs an overhaul.
