  • This is already happening even with Aaa games. The initial purchase doesn't seem to stop them anyway.

    And no I don't worry about it. I think if there's motivation we'll figure out the way. People won't just ship making or playing good games.

    www.thetimes.com Nicholas Rossi: fugitive abandons mistaken identity claims

    A lawyer acting for the rape suspect who faked his own death and fled to Scotland confirmed his name during a pre-trial hearing in Utah

    A fugitive who faked his own death is set to stand trial over rape charges in the United States after his lawyer finally confirmed his identity, bringing a legal stand-off to an end.

    Nicholas Rossi, 37, is accused of raping two women in Utah before fleeing across the Atlantic and starting a new life in Glasgow using a fake name and contrived identity.

    He was deported from Scotland in January after a judge ruled that he was a liar and fantasist who had masqueraded as an innocent Dublin-born academic called Arthur Knight.
