    You can get pretty far by stealing from others too

    You really, really can't.

    No, you can. Literally every single creator owes a massive debt to people that inspired them. If you look at their early work you will absolutely find a good amount of it cribbed (intentionally and unintentionally) from people before them. Very, very few people arrive as this totally original genius.

    Being inspired by and stealing from are two entirely separate things.

    They're closer than you think.

    everything is a remix!

    more or less, yeah

    Nintendo's not going to have any new characters left to introduce for Smash Bros. 5. Who's next? Birdo? Waddle-Dee? The blue furry chick from Star Fox Adventures?

    Anyone know how much it costs to file a motion, on average?

    $30?

    With or without a lawyer?

    With a lawyer, at least $150 if you're paying him hourly.

    She looked like she had some sort of fireball move. Marth doesn't have anything like that.

    There is straight up plagiarism, which is taking shit verbatim, but there are subtler forms of theft. You can steal cadence, voice, structure, pretty much anything else. You can also steal content and rearrange it. All of that stuff is a degree of thievery.

    to be pedantic, degrees of plagiarism.

    If they were going to add another blue haired fire emblem protagonist, it should have been Hector.
    and they should have added a Robin with non-anime hair colors

    No, Robin throws a fireball and she dodges it and it hits the guy in front of her.

    All the rest of her moves look to be the exact same as Marth.

    There's maybe a chance that she's got Roy's moves, though?

    I can't even imagine what horrors lie in that codebase. I am shocked every time they actually update it to continue running on Windows let alone a port to Mac OS X.

    Eh, the whole Mac / PC thing pre iPod boom really came down to this. Somebody at Apple convinced folks that Macs were for: "Education", "Musicians", and "Artists". If you were in one of these three groups, you thought you had to have a Mac. Somebody at Microsoft convinced folks that PCs were for: "Work" and "Gaming". Turns out a whooole lot more people do work and play games so the Mac market share went down and down. It was less a rivalry as PC folks being self righteous for no reason, and Mac users holding onto their niche for dear life.

    Yep, those poor, oppressed mac users were icons of humility.

    Pre Intel days there was a very real situation with developer split. Aside from big stuff like MS Office there was little to no cross platform development. Companies developed for one or the other

    So yeah Macs sucked for games because there were like 2 companies that made games for them for years

    Well, I guess this makes upgrading to Chaos edition more worth it.

    @Cinders‌ you talked about upgrading from Legendary to Chaos edition? Is that done through Steam? I couldn't see how to do it.

    no, you guys can talk about that all you want. Speaking of which, if Blood Bowl is fantasy football, would Diva Cup be fantasy soccer?

    I dont know about Blood Bowl in particular, but I have upgraded games in the past by going to their store page for the upgraded version.
