I think this should have been anticipated after the license change.

Depends on jurisdiction and what you torrented. Is the US uniformally militant on torrents?
Title is a misnomer, at no point was his life at risk because the ball never had enough energy to reach him on the swing back... Which of course was the point of the demonstration.
I don't see this as rotten behaviour at all, I see it as a Bobby tables moment teaching an organisation relying on a technology that they better have a their ducks in a row.
Players gaming a system using dumb AI bots that don't do proper thinking. What a shocking development that absolutely no one could have seen coming.
I think you hit the nail on the head where this is heading by questioning the final costs. Currently "AI" development is burning through insane piles of money and energy and no one is really paying a significant cost to use it... It's a loss leader at the moment but it's unclear if there are many uses for it if it were to be full price. Is it going to be another voice assistant situation where people like usi g it but it's actually really hard to make any money off it directly?
Triple A games are often over funded and under deliver in experience in my recent experience. A little less funding might tighten up some of waste and deliver better games.
And they invested knowing that piracy was a thing and figured that into their calculations regard to the risk vs potential return. If they didn't get that right and end up with a loss, well, that's capitalism for you.
Copyright is the antithesis of free market by allowing a monopoly on distribution and exploitation of some resource.
Some parts of the gaming industry did, the vast majority still won't provide content drm free.
If they could figure a way to make you pay without providing any service at all they absolutely would.
Exactly. It isn't clear if duckstations author really has permission from all contributors or rewrote those contributions he didn't have rights to change the license on. If he didn't then technically even the latest version is still GPL but it's fairly murky and I doubt shy sane person wants to fork it and have all that drama.
