The Arab gaming industry is miles away from being a stable healthy market. After all these years you'd think we might have finally achieved something yet, unfortunately, the reality is we're not even close.
FuRuy has opened a Twitter account called “Project Alice” teasing a new game announcement on April 25 at 20:30 JST.
Filing a false DMCA claim costs nothing, requires no proof, and can destroy an indie game's launch in minutes. Fighting back can cost tens of thousands of dollars and take weeks (if you can afford it at all).
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.
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.
The Montreal-based team behind March of Giants joins Ubisoft to continue development on the free-to-play 4v4 MOBA game where players take on the role of giant combatants.
with all those high schooled people they got there they still can't make a great game?
Interesting topic. I play with a lot of Arab friends online. mostly football games (PES). I think a good game cold come from the region, the money is certainly there already.
Unearthed = Uncharted ripoff
Anyway, It's real world issues which caused these games to stink.
I wonder if there are any in-depth books or documentaries on the subject. The topic is very interesting from the subjects of quality, marketing, culture, etc.
Americans think Arab = Guys who did 9/11. So their games will never stand a chance in the West.
