It's sad when those who have the money used to make the system seem to be impervious to its own hypocrisy. However, this is the sad truth of the systems in place nowadays - if you have the monetary means, you can be exempt from all of the bullshit surrounding you. The whole "Screw The Rules, I Have Money" thing.
Don't misunderstand me - if these creators are, indeed, worthy of recompense, then it stands to reason, moral and legal, that they should be compensated for the uses of their work. It's just after seeing nonsense like this happen over and over again, I wish this whole fething mess of a system gets obliterated, Exodia style, and then rebuilt so that it favors the creators, regardless of their net worth.
I realize that while greed exists this is a pipe dream, but still...!
Also, as far as the whole SEGA & Gearbox lawsuit goes, they showed a product "in progress". Now, is it possible that by proving that the game "regressed" instead of "progressed", it was misrepresented and, therefore, constitutes false advertising? I am not versed in law nor am I proficient in 'legalese', any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
