ooooo nice!

If you wanna contact Jordan regarding SLEEP AWAKE, just respond to Jordan's Bluesky. His BSKY username is jordangb. Just look for his SLEEP AWAKE post about about "hitting his email" and reply to it... don't know when or if he'll get back to you though

Extra thanks to Jordan Boyd for providing me with the Steam key so I can check it out! Deeply appreciated!

Yesssss I'd LOVE that! Please send me a DM ASAP as I am interested in this game and I wanna cover it on my channel

Now that No Players Online is finally back on Steam, PLEASE consider buying the game on Steam.

They need that financial support the MOST right now. #NoPlayersOnline

Fuck you if you live your life going and handing out DMCA takedown notices like it's fucking Halloween candy. These notices hurt people and cause severe financial loss, and the Copyright Office MUST consider updated regulations to enshrine fairness and accountability.

The system is unbalanced, weighed in favor of the ones accusing and it gives them more leeway over those who are accused. It should be "innocent until proven guilty", NOT "guilty until proven innocent". But unfortunately, that is how the DMCA currently works, and it's unfair.

There must be legal fines, perjury charges, and legal liability for claimants who abuse the DMCA by issuing false takedowns. Unfortunately, the current system is weighed in favor of the claimants and there is virtually no balance when it comes to DMCA-related issues.

We seriously need a complete rewrite of the DMCA for the modern age. Stronger protections must be put in place for people accused of infringement and there has to be severe legal consequences and punishments for claimants who have their DMCA notices overturned and overruled.

If you conduct your life like this throwing around DMCA ban hammers, then you need to seriously re-evaluate what you are doing with your life. Actual harm is caused by false and fraudulent DMCA takedowns, and you need to stop pretending that there is no harm involved from them.

I've even emailed the literal US Copyright Office on this EXACT matter while No Players Online was still offline on Steam due to the DMCA they got and they said they aren't taking any public comments on DMCA policy issues. Yeah. Of course. Fucking figures. What a waste of time.

It is fucking unfair that people can just file false DMCA takedown notices and literally get off Scot-fucking-free, but there are actual real-world consequences for those who try to contest these takedowns, most notable one being significant financial loss and loss of sales.

False takedown notices kill momentum, ruins people's days and lives in some cases, and kills sales, completely destroying the developer's means of making a profit. This is fucking disgusting and it is morally wrong, AND legally wrong on top of that. Fucking embarrassing.

The DMCA was created as a defense against copyright infringement, NOT a weapon to strike people down. If you use the DMCA like this you are in violation of SEVERAL laws and regulations and you will be actually committing LITERAL FUCKING PERJURY. Seek help.

This is a passion project that has took so much time, blood, sweat, and tears by EVERYONE involved and now they've been stabbed in the back by some asshole abusing outdated and broken American copyright laws that haven't been updated in literal DECADES.

get well soon bud!

And later on after the tour of the venue and checking out all of the booths, we will be playing Deadly Days: Roadtrip, a chaotic action-roguelike game I nabbed during Endix's key giveaway yesterday!

Can't wait to try it out ^^
