ITT: Industry bunkum thats not common knowledge but still interesting
Example:
>Parasite Eve is not an original work by Square Enix but a sequel to the novel of the same name by Hideaki Sena
>They paid to get the ip for ten years
>It expired early in production of Parasite Eve 3 and the game had to be completely remade to be the (((distinctly different enough for copyright reasons))) 3rd Birthday instead
>They legally cannot sell a product with the PE name on it ever again because Hideaki Sena saw 3rd birthday and refused to ever part with the rights
Maybe the strangest reason an ip is dead i can think of.

I think it was just a combination of the new games being on the Super Famicom so it was them trying to differentiate the titles from the originals by making them sound improved. They also were no longer based on the books anymore even the first sequel was unrelated to the novels. Also the author worked with Atlus to write the scenario for the first game so I doubt he would have tried to sue them but I guess you never know.

My contribution to the thread is that one of the programmers for Silent Hill made the game run smoothly on the PlayStation through wizardry spells but Konami tried fuck him over and not give him credit because of his age so he blackmailed them by holding the game hostage or something like that.

Yeah there was a reason all the old Japanese games had pseudonyms in the credits. All the studios were absolutely petrified about head hunting.

I think Sega hired actual Yakuza to play Yakuza 3 as part of a promotion.
The funniest part was when they got to see Kiryu running his orphanage, one of them remarked that he once knew a Yakuza that ran an orphanage, to which another quickly interjects with “Yeah, but wasn’t that just a tax shelter?”

Getting hired at a company in Japan is basically like joining a family. You're pretty much in for life. Outright firings are rare, but they will give you shit work to do until you quit.

Fun story, when Bungie decided to ship Myth 2 they got a message from their Japanese publisher that the game's uninstaller came with a bug which would delete your entire OS if you ran it and if you installed the game in your root directory which almost nobody ever does. Bungie already shipped 200,000 copies, and they had to decide whether they were just going to give it the silent treatment and patch it later since this bug probably wouldn't occur that often, or recall all copies and send out the fixed version instead which would cost them a shitton of money. Bungie opted to do the latter. According to Jason Jones:
>The thing that made the decision easy was that if we were to ship the game anyway and try to fix the problem later, some people were gonna get screwed. And that was wrong. It might not have been very many people - maybe one or two. But it would have bothered us the rest of our lives. Maybe not - maybe just two years. We'd be sitting around today: "Damn, wonder when the next person's gonna call?" It was so clear that there was one decision that led down the road of eternal damnation. The other was to spend a lot of money and do the right thing - and never make the same mistake again.
Could you imagine modern Bungie doing this after the shit they pulled/are pulling in Destiny 2? Unfortunately this decision and the resulting financial hit was one of the main reasons why Bungie let themselves be bought out by Microsoft so they could stay afloat, only to slowly decline afterwards.

I can only make a random guess, but…
1. OS don't see things like humans do. So it might point to the memory address that is suppose to be where the game is. But if nothing is filled in, by default, a lot of the time it will go to your windows 98/Mac OS directory. Since it was a bug, the uninstaller might never have sent the correct memory address.
2. It goes up one directory of the current directory and deletes that folder. If its in the root base folder though, it might delete that entire harddrive?
Those are wild guesses though.

One of the expansions for EVE Online did this shit. CCP programmed the game with a structure similar to that of windows itself. One file was named identically to a file that managed windows boot loader. The uninstaller pointed at the C:\ drive instead of the EVE install directory, that file got deleted, and as a result you couldn't boot to windows.
It wasn't terribly difficult to fix, but it was incredibly bad press for CCP.

I don't think Sega was part of it though. Also it's implied that to score the interview the interviewer had to have sex with one of the Yakuza's girlfriend while he watched.

Champion Edition does have some good changes though. All the boss characters are now playable (four new playable total), it added mirror matches (two people couldn't pick the same character before) and there were some other balance changes and new art and music.

He used to more or less deliver though. Being stuck on MS's leash to make Fable sequels that had so little in common with what Fable was initially intended to be is probably the main issue.
Fucked up thing is the original xbox release of Fable had a bunch of incomplete content in it including enormous open world zones ranging from flat texture to actually populated with trees and plants. There was a group at the time called the LAN Pirates who were digging up all kinds of cool shit, then it all just kinda disappeared.

And on top of that, playing video games or reading books or sleeping or something when you're supposed to be "working" - even if your assignment is "sit quietly at this desk and do nothing" - gives the employer an excuse to fire you.

Do you have any other information that's more specific regarding this lost Fable beta? I remember hearing about a fair few things cut from Black & White 2, so it's not unbelievable that this could have happened. My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I remember that there were supposed to be animatic cutscenes centered around a prophet character that the player god hitched a ride inside the brain of, hence being able to mindread the enemy leaders outside your influence ring. Don't remember anything else that isn't more publically accessible- Black & White 1 style max creature size, scaleable wall thickness & height, the ability for the former to step over the latter- and I've unfortunately never been able to dig up the old ass articles regarding that content again. And considering that B&W2 information I've been snooping for, this is really fascinating.

Some versions of half-life 1 supposedly had a similar problem. The game was expected to be installed in /sierra/half-life so the uninstaller deletes its own directory and the one above it, so if you don't install it two directories deep, you lose a bunch of shit (e.g. your games folder, or the entire drive if you installed it as C:\half-life\).

It's a shame full-on remakes are rarer and rarer nowadays because casuals to whom PCs are completely foreign have no problems paying for "HD" compilations of old games where it's just the old games verbatim just ran at higher resolution. And some great old games out there have aged so much they really would benefit from some newer technology.

Depends.
Look at the MGS remake. It takes advantage of the new engine and mechanics, but the original environment and enemy placement was not designed with that immense amount of player freedom in mind.
Thus, the game suffers.
FFVII remake is going to be shit because they'll dial the kikery up to 11, but that's a problem of a different kind.
I'm really not sure whether I want to agree with you or not. On the one hand, I'd absolutely love to see some old PS1 era classics properly remade, but on the other I know it would likely turn into total fuckery and the game would end up being butchered.

I gotta tell you, I still think they'd find a way to fuck that up. Gameplay mechanics being left out for being too complex for consoles. Dialogue cut for being too triggering. Steam Workshop added because paid mods would be a good source of revenue.

>Yakuza also have ties to the Japanese realty market and banking, through jiageya. Jiageya specialize in inducing holders of small real estate to sell their property so that estate companies can carry out much larger development plans. Japan's bubble economy of the 1980s is often blamed on real estate speculation by banking subsidiaries. After the collapse of the Japanese property bubble, a manager of a major bank in Nagoya was assassinated, and much speculation ensued about the banking industry's indirect connection to the Japanese underworld.
Oh fuck, the Yakuza actually achieved some justice when their speculative-investor ruling-class fucked them over with speculative investment.
