A veteran Silicon Valley Software Executive.... aren't those a dime a dozen these days? And for every success story out of Silicon Valley aren't there dozens of failures. It would be more impressive if the person was a senior engineer.

So they removed an article for the world because of a lawsuit in one country?
This is one of those games that defined my childhood. Like the nerd, I never beat, but I revisit it every few years. Maybe I should make the effort and push to the ending.
Opening a walled community is always good for the end users. Promoting competition is always good for the end users.
Journals that detail daily activities like "woke up at x, had cereal for breakfast, played game for several hours, went to work, got home at x, had for dinner, went to bed at x" of the average person are still extremely important to future historians. Imagine 200 years from now a teacher telling his class "And we know from paddirn's daily journaling that the world in the 2000s was not as chaotic for the average person as traditional media would have us believe."
Just a thought, but with deep brain implants aren't the electronics separate from the electrodes that actually go in the brain? That would make them a little more accessible without needing to do brain surgery every time.
Maybe that's the middle ground for this situation at this moment in time: make the sensors/electrodes/static components needed for the health issue follow the same life+20 years and separate the processing pieces into a container that could still be surgically stored under the skin, but more easily accessed for maintenance, repair, replacement.
Theoretically, this could allow 3rd parties to come in and leverage existing installations by leaving the lifetime components in place and replacing the processing unit.
This could be the beginning of human device engineering standards similar to what IEEE does for computers and technology.
Has anyone played it? I looked at it on steam and the VA seemed subpar. Is the story really so good so you should go in completely blind?
