I think this can be said for most yearly ubisoft titles... Stop releasing them every year, or sometimes even twice a year with spin offs out the wazoo. Too much of a good thing is a bad thing.

They need to just focus on delivering quality, not quantity. There's not enough innovation between titles, the big hitters seem to come every 2-3 game when it's amalgamated the best features of the titles released before it ,as was the case with black flag, though that could have easily just been a pirate game, but probably would not have sold even half as much without the AC ip attached to it...

Of course that is the unfortunate thing about mass consumerism... As much as there are of us crying out for innovation, there are more people out there scared to try new things, they make the jump through incremental changes, rather than leaps. So the market responds to it in kind.

We just gotta trudge through it and wait for the big hitters I guess. Has suited me fine though, I've been able to avoid buying the yearly increment and pick up the good stuff when it lands and have been doing so for almost a decade. Needing the new shiny thing was a young mans game anyway.

And now, a startoon!

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.

....I don't feel like you read the article, at all.

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.
