End of Unlicensed Distribution


In recent months since November 2018, several YouTube music channels had been terminated or had their music uploads blocked in all regions for violating copyright through unlicensed distribution, and some who have not been hit could already be at risk. To make matters worse, such copyright violations could lead to account termination. In other words, digital piracy being classified as a cyber crime is why we cannot have nice things. Perhaps we should have heeded the FBI's anti-piracy warning about the consequences of criminal copyright infringement, whether or not the offence had any intentions for monetary gain.

Should the rhetorical question "Is Nintendo Doomed?" resurface again, Nintendo will only have themselves to blame for making their customers upset, which was nothing new, given that Nintendo betraying Sony created their own worst enemy, and trying to appease casual gamers during the Wii's early years turned out to be a bad idea, since the majority of casual gamers are mostly fickle.

Ground Piercing Shot


Ever since Civilization 5 overhauled combat gameplay mechanics by removing the iconic and familiar "stacks of doom" in favour of combat gameplay mechanics similar to the ones featured in Advance Wars or Daisenryaku, new hilarious situations include a submarine torpedo going through a friendly peninsula city. Whether or not this situation is possible in the Daisenryaku games currently remains unknown as there has been no known footage of such naval battles where a peninsula city stands in the way of two warships engaged in combat.

Now one must wonder how a submarine-fired torpedo would burrow through earth to reach its target...
