Did a little bit of digging on that one, before being bought by Bayer, the Cutter biological division was responsible for another pharmaceutical disaster. They accidentally (?) sold 120 000 doses of polio vaccines containing the live polio virus.

We were making a big fuss back then. We also made a big fuss about Gitmo.
Nobody cared.
They do feel their existence is threatened since NATO expended to the east in 1999.
I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.
Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.
Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.
Trying to find some that haven’t been talked about yet:
Echo. It’s a fantastic experimental infiltration game with an AI that adapts to your way of playing. The setup is very impressive.
Pathologic: one of the three playable characters (the Changeling). It’s a bizarre russian game, with an unique world, and messy gameplay. Can’t recommend it enough.
Va11 Hall-A: chill bartending game in a cyberpunk setup.
The Blackwell series: comfy, kind of amateurish point and clicks by Wadjet Eye. I like them very much.
Transistor: weirdest game by Supergiant. You play as a redhead with a talking sword. I don’t remember much about it except that it was good.
The Fall: (pushing it a little bit, since the protagonist is an AI, but I’ve always seen here as female.) Criminally underrated puzzle games, disguised as metroidvanias.
Eliza (by Zachtronics): the only visual novel I enjoyed. It’s hard to explain, it’s about AI, burnout, whether tech dehumanizes people, and solitaire.
Hedon Duology: for something completely different, it’s a slightly kinky retroshooter, with amazon Orcs fighting demons.
It may sound a bit dumb, but it’s excellent. Huge levels, interesting worldbuilding, and a gameplay based on exploration, puzzles as well as shooting.
There’s probably a ton more, but that’s all I can think about at the moment.
10 years limit, absolutely non transferable, limited to human beings (not abstract legal entities) .
Eventually extendable to lifetime of the creator if the work is still being developed, to prevent being usurped by copycats.
I also believe that facilitating voluntary sponsorship (a la patreon, but without letting 10% get siphoned by leeches) is preferable to selling works. Especially since distribution is now pretty much free.
This looks amazing. Almost better than the original in some ways.
But playing Doom in 1:1 aspect ratio is masochism.
I’m still angry about it.

Hm. It’s a start I guess.
I don’t know, Empress comes with her own theme songs, long winded bizarre philosophical rants, beautifully ornamented nfo, and pointless drama with repackers. If that’s a cover up persona, they did a hell of a thorough job.
Around 26, it’s biological adulthood.
I feel like knowing anything about that guy makes my life worse.
Missing the wad
I think it’s a survival reflex. People pick up on popular trends, and follow them so they don’t get lynched. It’s hard to unlearn this kind of conditioning, even if you move to a relatively safe environment.
It was murder. He stood against the hoarders, and they got his head.
