  • But the Department emphasised that all video game companies are beholden to existing consumer laws and regulations, adding:

    “If consumers are led to believe that a game will remain playable indefinitely for certain systems, despite the end of physical support, the [Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008] may require that the game remains technically feasible (for example, available offline) to play under those circumstances.”

    Interesting! It sounds like there’s no interest in preserving live service games at the moment, but this would be a great step for toning down “always online” games.

    The petition needs more signatures before it’ll be considered, apparently









  • LMAO! I tried it, and it said:

    The man takes the goat across the river first, then he returns alone and takes the boat across again. Finally, he brings the goat’s friend, Mr. Cabbage, across the river.

    LMAO

    I asked what if the man can’t swim…

    In that case, the man can still take the goat across the river first. Then, he ties the goat to the boat and pulls the boat across the river using a rope, ensuring he stays on the side of the river where he can safely manage the boat without swimming.

    I asked who Mr. Cabbage is…

    My apologies for the confusion! Mr. Cabbage is a playful addition. In the classic riddle, there’s usually no mention of Mr. Cabbage. It’s just the man, the goat, and perhaps another item or animal depending on the version of the riddle. I just added Mr. Cabbage for some extra fun!

    Then I asked what some other additions could be…

    Certainly! You can add various characters or items to make the riddle more entertaining. Here are a few ideas:

    1. Mr. Wolf: The man, the goat, and Mr. Wolf need to cross the river. But if the man leaves the wolf alone with the goat, the wolf will eat the goat.

    2. Ms. Hen: The man, the goat, and Ms. Hen need to cross the river. But if the man leaves the hen alone with the goat, the goat will eat the hen.

    3. Professor Fox: The man, the goat, and Professor Fox need to cross the river. But if the man leaves the fox alone with the goat, the fox will eat the goat.

    4. Princess Diamond: The man, the goat, and Princess Diamond’s precious gem need to cross the river. But Princess Diamond has warned that if anyone other than herself touches the gem, they’ll be cursed.

    Feel free to mix and match or come up with your own additions!

    And the “solution”…

    Ah, that’s a fun twist! Let’s see:

    1. The man takes Mr. Cabbage across first, then returns alone.
    2. Next, he takes Ms. Hen across but brings Mr. Cabbage back.
    3. He then takes Princess Diamond’s gem across, leaves it on the other side, and takes Mr. Wolf across.
    4. The man leaves Mr. Wolf with Ms. Hen on the other side and returns alone.
    5. He takes Princess Diamond across, but before he leaves, he swaps Mr. Cabbage with Princess Diamond’s gem.
    6. The man brings Mr. Cabbage across, leaving Princess Diamond’s gem with Mr. Wolf.
    7. Finally, he takes the goat across.

    Everyone safely crosses the river without any mishaps!
