Because no one is reporting this from some reason Alex Mauer of fake DCMAing loads of youtube vids has now done the same to River City Ransom yet not one "news" site has seen fit to report on it

It's almost like "news" sites chose what's important and what's not or something.

@mothercruncher

Really? Have you read Kotaku at all?

More gamergate bullshit. I just spent a few minutes reading some poorly reasoned biased diatribe to explain why some evil woman dared to try and speak and assert herself when she should just be looking pretty and making sandwiches.

Go to the people who cover this stuff.

It all gets silly and maybe patreon funded people will be more what you expect as they dont have employees and rules about everything. I got no idea tbh but its there if you look.

I will give �10 to anyone that can prove there was a fake DCMA notice. It's safe money though as there wasn't one. FAKE NEWS.

I literally have no idea what any of this thread is about so I'm going to ask a more important question. which was THE best 80's cartoon?

I had a fondness for visionaries.

Probably because the OP misspelt DMCA twice.

That may be what I was hinting at. I even googled first just in case DCMA is an actual thing

Now, I've typed DCMA so much my spellcheck doesn't even complain anymore.

Not really in this case, to be honest. I mean, I'm sure someone has written a pretty awful diatribe somewhere, but in general it seems to be a rather sad case of someone going quite off the rails.

@disusedgenius Yea it sounds like she's experiencing issues that need some sort of attention.

I had just read this
http://heavy.com/games/2017/06/alex-mauer-starr-mazer-dsp-star-youtube-dmca/

And coupled with the fact that this poster created an account just to post this, figured it was getting more attention than usual because she's a female in the game industry.
I can just imagine lots of teenage misogynist's getting very excited and posting all over the internet because not being able to play river city ransom is a hideous breach of their civil rights.

Didn't mean to come off as being dissmisive of Alex's issues, sorry if it looked that way.

People realised that the Centurions were clearly the best and it was no longer worth continuing the discussion.

I fucking loved Centurions, I even had some of the toys I had the guy who could turn into a motorcycle and the guy who would turn into a sub. I never had the guy who could fly though. Sad.

It seems Destuctiod have done a story about this https://www.destructoid.com/river-city-ransom-underground-taken-off-steam-due-to-dmca-claim-449177.phtml and the updates with details that dont just blame youtubers and devs are longer than the original story
