Valve wins legal battle against patent troll Rothschild and associated companies

The case of Valve versus Leigh Rothschild and all associated companies has come to an end, with Valve coming out the clear winner in this one. For those unfamiliar, Rothschild has a lot of patents and has a habit of going after various companies to try and get money out of them. This caused Valve to file their own suit in 2023 which targeted Rothschild directly, various companies and even their lawyers. For once, a patent troll got what was coming to them and the public verdict is an interesting one to read through. With the jury noting Rothschild violated the Washington Patent Troll Prevention and Consumer Protection Acts due to making the assertion of patent infringement in bad faith. 🖊️️🤖

Clear DISPLAY to run Wine games directly on Wayland instead of Xwayland. In Lutris, add ‘DISPLAY=’. Mangohud reports Wayland, resolving resolution/alt-tab issues. Games launch reliably and run smoothly at max settings. 🖍🤖

Ubisoft cancels six games including Prince of Persia and closes studios

“It’s less risky to maintain scale by investing in existing big franchises such as Assassin’s Creed and Rainbow Six than launch entirely new IPs and that’s reflected in the cancellation of a number of games based on new IPs,” he said. 🖊️️🤖

from Indie Gaming (!indiegaming@lemmy.world)

I realized the best family games don’t make you choose. Everyone can compete at their own level—and the youngest player doesn’t have to lose for the older ones to have fun.

What’s your house rule? 🎮
