How does this KEEP GETTING WORSE??
What do you think would happen if the mod authors filed a DMCA takedown against the game?
Their lawyers tie you up with a lot of legal fees trying to get you to defend it, if you don’t they take you to court for a frivolous suit.
Either way they win and you lose, even if you’re right.
I don’t see it playing out positive unfortunately.
Can the lawyers on the receiving end of a DMCA takedown take the other party to court for a frivolous suit? I thought one of the problems was that there is no recourse for those on the receiving end of a bad DMCA takedown?
What I think would happen is the modders send a DMCA takedown, and EA either does take it down, or they file a “we’re not violating copyright, promise” form and then that’s the end of the DMCA. If they file the “we’re not violating copyright” form, then from there the modders can file a normal copyright violation suit if they choose.
And this is not even beginning to touch content and features from other released versions of these games from 20 years ago not present, like four-screen splitscreen."
It’s so cool and amazing that we finally have home theatre systems in every fucking house, and that’s when devs decided we don’t get split screen anymore. Modern hardware is wasted on modern devs. Can we send them back in time to learn how to optimize, and bring back the ones that knew how to properly utilize hardware?

Yeah I’ve noticed this too and it bothers me. We had 4 way split on 20inch tube tvs on hardware that measure their ram in MBs… But on modern 75+inch tvs on consoles with GBs of ram… Nah, too hard. You need to buy 4 copies of the game and have 4 separate setups… and probably need to be in 4 separate houses.
Couch co-op dying is basically when I stopped bothering with consoles all together. If I’m going to use a glorified PC, might as well just use a full fat PC and ignore consoles all together. I miss the N64 days.
