Beth could not even into untying game logic from framerate in 2015. Talented devs already knew how to do this right back in the early 90s

Do you have examples? I can recall some obscure Russian FPS physics engines from after the turn of the millennium that aren't affected by framerate, but otherwise I can't really think of any games that aren't fucked up once you go up to 250.
How can they be "legally covered"? Isn't this a clear case of embezzlement?
Not totally true imho, at least in what I've experienced with the Quake engines. Too high a framerate can make falling do less damage. Way too high a framerate can make you float around when you try to walk down stairs. I also once played GLQuake without any sort of framerate cap, and it ran at ultra speed. This may not be the case in multiplayer, if there's some sort of server-side agent regulating physics calculations, but this kind of thing has certainly happened. It's mostly not to the extent of FO4, but there still seems to be some shenanigans with physics that are affected by framerate in old engines.@sexbad, the id games for example. Those games run at a fixed tickrate. It doesn't matter if you get 250 or 36 frames per second because the game's logic always runs at the same speed. For the original Wolf 3D this is 70 tics for Doom 35 and 20 tics in Q3 IIRC.
Tying game logic to fps is considered a rookie mistake in this day and age.

He probably signed a really weak contract with the other guys, maybe didn't even sign anything and only had an oral agreement. Sort of like those guys who were making the minecraft clone and signed a contract with a guy for $x0k that didn't prevent him from taking the money and running after a single week of work.
Oh right.He didn't run away, they just paid him upfront and the contract allowed him to quit with no strings attached.

I remember similair case.
Wasn't that Minecraft channel (iirc Yogcast) who wanted to do some MMO, gave the job to unknown fella who run away?
is my english that bad or there is case of gay poligamy/open relationship?...boyfriend of two...
These parents just want to be treated special by their peers for being brave and raising a retarded child. They don't actually care about their child's well being. And considering many children these days are being diagnosed as autistic just like they were 20 years ago with ADD or ADHD, it means very little. Anything to be special I guess.Parents of autistic child sure are special snowflakes sometimes. I once someone on a forum saying she was so glad her kid was autistic, that in no way she hoped he would become normal.
In a world where everybody is trying to special, the only thing they can seem to achieve is to be retarded. Which is success, I guess, in a way. Except when everyone is also retarded.
The Fallout fan made to destroy his records for a refund
The customer support team behind Bethesda's official store has made a Fallout fan smash their $125 limited edition vinyl soundtrack in order to gain a refund.
Paul Watson contacted the company after finding the first disc in his four-disc Fallout 3 soundtrack had arrived warped. (Full disclosure - Paul works over the other end of our office doing commercial things. Lovely guy.)
Watson provided photographic evidence and asked for a refund - which the provided. But on checking his account, it turned out he had only refunded $25 - the price of the one warped disc.
"Hello Paul," a "special tactics and reconnaissance" agent (aka customer support rep) wrote.
"You only showed that one of the records was damaged so we refunded you for that damaged record. If the other records are similarly affected, please provide photos. However if they are not affected and you still would like a full refund for the product, please follow the instructions below for this limited edition item.
"Once I get those photos I will happily refund you for your order. Thank you and have a wonderful day!"
- Destroy the other records
- Provide photos of the damaged records
Unable to get a replacement first disc, there was only one course of action left.
He's hacking and whacking and smacking.
Destroying goods to prove a purchaser is not simply trying to scam the seller is not unheard of when it comes companies granting refunds - but the destruction of a limited edition set of vinyl here seems somewhat unnecessary.
Regardless, Watson has now been told he qualifies for all of his money back.
UPDATE 4.00pm: "We are following up with ThinkGeek as it is not the kind of service we want folks to experience from our store," a Bethesda spokesperson told Eurogamer, referencing the company which runs the Bethesda official store.
