Interesting that you interpret leaning to peek around corners as a modern convenience when it actually was in the original. The portrait in the top left of the original UI shows the player's current posture.

"Our company is like a professional sports team, except we are definitely not going to pay you like actual professional sports players." - a guy who makes way too much money
In concept, sure, it's possible. In practice, as we see here, the sorts of people who have hardline anti-immigration opinions tend to do so because they see those migrants as being less than fully human.
Clean the filter in your dishwasher once every month or two, depending on how often you use it.
I doubt it, if only because publicly failing like this must hurt his ego pretty badly.
I'm so glad the country doesn't have any actual problems that need to be addressed so the Senate can afford to spend time on nonsense like this.
It's important to note that DC have denied that Willingham can do this, so the first person who tries to take advantage is going to get sued. That alone is probably enough to scare off most people, regardless of who is technically in the right. We'll see how this goes.
The point of putting a property in the public domain is precisely so anyone can do whatever they want with it. The basic idea is that all creators draw on their wider culture for ideas, and therefore all creative works belong, in part, to the wider culture, and need to be turned over eventually. The fact that Willingham uses so many public domain characters in his comics is itself a good illustration of how this works. Two of his main characters are Snow White and the Big Bad Wolf (among many other fairy tale characters). They eventually get married. Are you concerned about preserving the "spirit" of those original stories, which Willingham freely reinterprets? I doubt it, and you shouldn't be. We all, as a culture, own those characters and can use them however we want. What this decision means is that the same now applies to Willingham's specific versions. I have immense respect for the man for making a principled decision.
As for how it damages DC, it doesn't do anything directly. They can still make and sell whatever they want, same as before. It's just that now they have competition, because other people can also make and sell Fables books. Assuming DC loses the inevitable legal battle, at any rate.
Except Trump has been a disaster for the GOP. They have consistently underperformed compared to expectations since he was elected.
Oh, thanks for the tip. That would have been frustrating to run into
I'm not quite old enough to have played it on release, but I think you're right that System Shock was a game with a lot of amazing ideas that was limited by the technology of the day. I was very happy to see such an authentic remake, which was clearly made by people who cared deeply about the source material.
