  • I mean GoComics clearly has some online licensing deal worked out to host Calvin And Hobbes. It probably wasn’t free.

    Reddit now is not just some private community, it’s a publicly traded company stepping on their license and the traffic they should be seeing.

    Also the cross IP stuff that people love to post probably doesn’t help things. It’s a complete legal quagmire and I’ve a feeling Watterson probably isn’t a fan of it either.







  • Also, paper records. They don’t last.

    There is a nuclear waste dump in PA that the Army has been cleaning up. When they started the initial cleanup they were surprised to find more buried than what they had on record.

    Turns out some of the old paper records literally fell apart. Combine that with just how need to know the US was about everything nuclear, some radioactive waste happened to fall through the cracks.










  • Star Wars Galaxies was such an ambitious MMO at launch.

    Crazy in depth crafting system, especially with regards to pets. With how materials were randomly generated and cycled out it created a market that actually experienced booms and scarcity.

    Some of the servers went almost a year before all the materials required for certain weapons spawned. And the materials all had random stats that would affect the item you crafted.
