In today's installment, Jaffe explains the challenge some top developers face in being fairly compensated for their work relative to the revenues they bring in, discusses his hopes to eventually cash out of Eat Sleep Play for a big windfall, and talks about his desire to work on experimental games once he's gotten truly paid.
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.
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.
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.
I don't know why, but I just hate this Jaffe guy. I really, really hate him.
Did the author take the picture with his cell phone? The picture at Newsweek.com is horrible.
We all are struggling with what we are paid versus the revenue we bring in. When CEO's are making 262 times the average worker's annual pay there is a real problem.

Without us, everything stops. Something is seriously broken here.
that Jaffe has said he doesn't want to work on big games anymore, Sony could use a new big IP for this generation!
hes probably working on the new twisted metal for ps3, they say they are making mostly mechanics driven games like warhawk and twisted metal and jet moto and the like. right now they are porting the psp TM to ps2, it should be on psn imo. but yea he is back with the old team he made twisted metal 1 and 2 and black with so its a no brainer they are making a sequel.
i want a jet moto sequel too. but yea its sad he wont make a game as big as god of war anymore, what a douche, hes whining about money well then make another GOW calibur game instead of calling all cars. then you can put your kids through college and buy all the weed you want(he has pics of weed he bought after the deal he made with sony on his blog)
