What Monkey’s Paw curse did I just trigger?

I sooo want to play the crappy Armored Core mobile games, but they seem lost to time.

Yes/No. Both Sony and Microsoft have quality control processes to ensure that whatever is published is going to play on first entry of the disc.

That said, publishers use A LOT of workarounds. Day 1 patches to “finish” the game. Download code inserts. And as of recent, mandatory online server check-ins. As far as I’m aware, Nintendo is the only one who allows publishing half the product with required download.

I’m afraid to find out how many people are still downloading OpenOffice, thinking it’s the same software they heard about back in 2010.

I looked at the terms of service and noticed that they bind you into arbitration, limit your terms to $100, mandate you to travel to Delaware for dispute, and force you into mass arbitration if your dispute is similar to others.
