It can get you in big trouble and possibly fired by your superiors.

Something as big as Star Wars and openly pirating anything under its franchise could get WSG in legal action with Disney. Erik Kain could get fired.

This asshole Kuchera though is going into the extreme and willing trying to fuck over Eric Kain. Petty elementary school shit. But hey, what do you expect from Videogame "Journalist"?

>>258943646
Kuchera is the one pirating Star Wars, Kain talked about emulating old games, for which Kuchera tried to fuck him over.

I'd bet you you lots of game journos come here. I mean over on /co/ we got confirmation last night that a bunch of Comics Alliance people (and the creator of Potter Puppet Pals) read /co/ when we were calling them out because they were going on about having someone's dick pics that he sent to someone unsolicited with the only proof being "we've seen them, please believe is". I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Kotaku writers, Polygon douches and the like lurk /v/ if not actively post.

Nerd enthusiast journos are egotistical fucks and supremely childish so they'll always want to know what people are saying about them after all.

>>258945342
It's a fanmade version of the original Star Wars, using the recent BD release as a base, then cutting in original scenes from other (older) sources and color correcting the remainder to make it look like the original (which Lucas is infamously unhappy with). A writeup talks about how Lucasarts would literally hunt down and destroy any 35mm release prints of the original film that pop up.

It's great for consumers but pretty much spits in the face of both the director's vision of his work (unanimously as bad as it may be) and rightsholders of the releases that were used to make this fanmade version.

I think Fish and Kuchera are my two most hated people in this entire industry.

>>258949080

Do it. They're very, very good. Much better than the shitty new versions. The guy that made them put out a documentary about how he did it.

Because most gaming "journalists" are so woefully unqualified for any real job related to that field it's hilarious. There's a reason 99% of them bounce around between different magazines and sites and never move on to write for newspapers or non-gaming publications.

They're still high school children, the lot of them, and it's exactly why no other medium cares about this oppressive SJW bullshit, but it has a toehold everywhere in gaming.

No, it's not the same reason. Did you even read the post and what it was replying to? George Lucas going around purposely destroying original prints of the film is not at all the same thing as pre 1930 films not being stored correctly/carelessness.

>>258956908
George Lucas is a perfectionist.

During production of the original trilogy, he had other people on staff to override some of his dumber ideas. When opportunities came along to re-release the films, such as new technology or anniversary editions, he insisted that only his "improved" versions were the only ones allowed to be released.

He also takes the view that since he made the movie, it's his story, and anything he says or changes is the definitive edition. Horribly ironic since much of the popularity of Star Wars depends on work by other authors, EU games, and even fanfiction, which Lucas has not hesitated to ignore and retcon when convienient.

Is there any other industry where the press keeps shitting on those who enjoy this hobby? Seriously I used to think journalists had my interests in mind but over time it's gotten worse and worse with allegations of entitlement and hatred of gamers. What the fuck happened to vidya news?

>>258964784
Every industry has its black sheep. Usually they're identified as "nerds". In the gaming industry it's just "gamers". All the more reason to not use this terrible, idiotic, laughable term.

but he just doesn't know, he's just so casual I need to teach him

Gamers actually play games, have better informed opinions on them and the people who make them, and are more skilled at playing them too.

>>258964784
It got overrun with SJW. We warned you. We warned you and you didnt listen.

SJW are not gamers they are political activists trying to manipulate the media.

>>258938332
No, if I remember correctly it wasn't about torrents at all. Kain wrote and article about emulation. Then Kuchera started bitching about him condoning piracy because he think that all emulation is piracy, not being aware that if you own a game it is perfectly legal to rip it and run it on an emulator. That's the backstory as far as I know.

>>258959952
Its pretty logical. SJW said they wanted to take over the last frontier of masculinity which was gaming and force a change.
Its not surprising they hate gamers. Gamers are the thing they have been fighting all long in their warped minds.

>>258967084
A hat

>>258968829
That would make sense, and I honestly can't get mad at them for doing it, considering Disney would do the exact same thing in their situation.

>>258967084
Wasn't he a character on That 70's show?

>>258968829
Fox had to go through approval for Lucas to release anything. Now that he gave it all to do Disney, Fox can release a theatrical set but they're using it to make big bucks from Disney

At least Jaffe still knows shit when he smells it.

Why do we care?

On average, /v/ is not anti piracy, and since it is impossible to view the film otherwise,there is a historical/archival reason to do it.

I feel like you all are just pissing and moaning for the sake of it

>>258969365
That was Fes.

>anyone caring about a dead show from 40 years ago

>>258969494
Problem is that this guy is a vulgar hypocrite. Please read the thread.

>>258969614
That 70's show aired in the 90s.

>>258939219
Prime example of why anybody who says "just ignore it" are gigantic cunts and deserve to be shit on with all our fury. That goes exceptionally so for the faggots that say that shit here, the shitposters and virallers and everything else. Killing spambots and stupid shit like dubs killed our refuge against these people just because a few niggers abused those things.

>>258969682
I'm aware and I see that, and I despise hypocrpisy as well, but the majority of comments I see in the thread are about the piracy issue, not him being a hypocrite.

>>258969593
That was a pun.

>>258969720
here comes the That 70's Show Defence Force again, shilling as usual.

In other news, the petition is only 39 signatures away from 2000.

I'm certain it will be complete by the time everyone wakes up and shit kicks off again today and tonight. I hope it becomes a hot topic.

>>258969997
that DOES look like a good episode

>>258960268
Because they think they are artists.

Check out what they think is art otherwise. Some junkie broad shoving pasta up her cunt or some faggot like anthony burch shitting in a trumpet and having his lesbian wife play the american national anthem on it.


They are complete fucking retard lunatics. And all based in california, the state famous for it's crazy cults and weird people.

>>258969997
That's obviously a porn parody

at least when it was young all journalists did was sperg about games they liked.

I miss old Nintendo Power

>>258939219
My instincts tell me things shouldn't be this awful

>>258951285
This picture is absolutely disgusting.

>>258969997
lol, I just checked this out. Hilarious.

I have no idea what's going on, but Erik sounds like scum. People should be paid for their time and products they develop. You wouldn't download a car.

>>258970298
first time I've actually signed something like this. What is happening to me?

>>258972161
Ben is no different. Both are jerks, but Ben Kuchera is WAY worse.

>>258972161
The people are all dead and gone, should he just immolate the payment or does he have to exhume their corpses so he can rebury them with the 5 bucks their game is worth?

>>258972161
You just wait until we get big enough 3D printers.

Also historic archival is a very important thing. Think of how much history the internet alone has lost. Things the world at large will never see or know, or the lessons learned from them.

>>258972161
>You wouldn't download a car.

you kiddin? Soon as 3D Printing gets that easy I'm gonna pirate myself a fucking NASCAR circuit

Am I the only person on /v/ who respects Erik Kain as a journalist?

I MUST KNOW ONE THING

Does this version of Star Wars exist?

>>258972917
I'm sure there are others.

But remember, this guy also supported the anita scam. I don't think he's corrupt, but he sure ain't smart.

>>258973220
Yeah, it's been a thing for a while. Harmy's Despecialized Edition or something like that

>>258972161
I would totally download a car if I could

Remember /v/

Be

Subtle

>>258937530
You don't have to hate all gamers for hating a particular subset.

For example, I can hate people who freak out about the newest Fox-News-esque talking point and make twenty thousand threads about it on /v/.

>>258938332
Kain wrote an article about some SNES game that never came out, and said it was good and suggested using an emulator to play it. Kuchera got super butthurt about it and went on the warpath against Kain, saying he advocates piracy and should be blackballed. Then anon found that Kuchera had written articles painting ROMs in a positive light before, and Kuchera just responded by basically responding to everyone with "u mad?"

>>258945932
He said something today about how he had a lot of research to do before he would decide whether to speak on the Quinn thing.

>>258960268
It's terrible at the two extremes, both Indie devs and BIG VIDYA companies are pretty fucking awful.

The middle ground is shrinking, but there are still decent indies and decent companies (mostly the smaller ones) that are around. Too bad they get drowned out in all this shit and manufactured controversy.

>>258973917
That should be deleted for irrelevancy.
