It's not clear - the cases that have gone to court have gone both ways. Mind you, I'd be stunned if anyone with any seniority in the government at any real level had any idea of technology at all. It's not that they're luddite, just ignorant.
Looking at the time-scale, that's very unlikely. Especially as the pixel-density of the PSP is particularly uninspiring. My mobile phone has a higher resolution (640x680), for instance.
Capitalism RELIES on Ethics. Adam Smith thought that the Invisible Hand would provide those ethics. It's pretty obvious that the Invisible Hand stops working when you are dealing with large geographically diverse companies. If you don't rely on government to provide a visible hand, how do you think we can prevent capitalism from collapsing into fascism and corporatism?
Perhaps because the Republicans have done so well over the past 40 or so years in courting the racists and evangelicals, and rejecting their old minority support base (With the well-known exception of the Cubans-in-exile)
It's become increasingly obvious that Adam Smith's "invisible hand" dosen't scale well. That's kinda required for capitalism to work you know. How the fuck would YOU recommend we proceed?
Oh, and as an addendum, the fact that people like Atlus and Nippon Ichi WERE getting involved in their niche and actually bothering to localise well and hire REAL actors (with a few exceptions that I know of, but that's perhaps giving away secrets) would have put even more pressure on WD.
It's a shame Sega of America didn't let them bring across Sakura Taisen for Saturn, I guess, as Victor Ireland had pledged he wasn't going to ruin it with terrible jokes and an awful dub.
My understanding is that Working Designs were ALWAYS on a knife-edge as far as profitability goes - they were working in a tiny niche. Sony weren't OKing projects because SCEA have all sorts of issues with the idea of allowing 2D games to be released in the US, which I know has caused problems for Atlus and Nippon Ichi.
Even in some of the most expensive parts of Tokyo, you can find a small flat for under 100,000 a month. It just means you can't be fussy about the age of the place, etc. Don't forget that most single people in Japan live in a flat which is so small there's one room.
Probably noone you know, but someone who's seen too much of, and experience too much of DJ_Izumi. It's amazing to see how far back one person can set a cause through sheer being-an-irritating-and-curiously-bigoted character.
I've been told that/s/ is also banned - though I have no idea why.
CP tends to get pulled from 4chan pretty damned fast, and the most shocking thing you'll typically see there is pictures of DJ_Izumi...
The editors - well, moderators I suppose - on bash.org make the slashdot crew look amazing, though. Making Slashdot more like Bash would NOT be a good thing.
Damn, if the French drivers are better than American drivers, you've got a serious problem. Next you'll be saying how much you enjoyed driving in Italy (specifically the south)...

I had assumed he was talking about scrums. I don't actually know anything about League, only Union.
It's also maybe worth pointing out that people with Irish names WERE bombing London at the time.
Union - it's the game the GENTLEMEN play. Only the Northern Monkeys play League.
Honestly? Microsoft. They're just interested in money, Sony seem to be genuinely malevolent.
AFAIK Union is FAR more popular globally than League.

You do realise that the courts DID order them to do so, and their refusal to do so is why they're getting fined.

As opposed to non-American (European) gamers who are treated like third class citizens - we're lucky if the game comes out at all!

No, terrible localisations full of "clever" jokes, and lead voice-actors they'd literally pulled off the street are what killed Working Designs.

Nope, we're already way ahead of you there.

Exactly: HD floppies were the sucessors to DD floppies which were the sucessors to SD floppies.
Nope - an HD floppy is not a DD floppy.
