This right here is exactly what the trans people I know want.

Except it does. Psychological studies show clear distinction between gender and sex. Your sex is governed by your genitals; your gender is an entirely separate social construct which is likely to align with sex, but unlikely to do so perfectly, and has many cases where it doesn't at all. That is a scientific fact. The…

Somebody actually likes the DA2 version of Anders? Phantom Menace Anakin was a less wooden, two-dimensional character.

One is a case of complaining about not having options in option-based games, which quite clearly restricts the experience, though the degree of restriction can be very questionable. The other is complaining about other people actually having options in option-based games, which has no restriction on the abilities of…

I laughed. Bravo, good sir.

Though, sarcasm aside, I do wonder when the Jews stopped being a part of the straight white set.

Okay. Your annoyance is rather sad, since that option, though pointless, has no effect on you at all, but if you insist. That's not the real problem here, though. The real problem here is that your argument is a bit like coming into an article on piracy and asking why someone supports armed robbery. Your example has…

Describe how options for everybody fucks anybody.

I did. It's a joke, right up until you get agreement, and then it isn't. Again, you are a great example of classic trolling. Kudos to you, good sir.

You keep saying sarcasm. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Shadowrun on July 25th, for some extra bug polishing. Comes from both Kotaku and the backer blog.

Fair enough. I agree that digital media and cloud connectivity are the future. I am greatly looking forward to that future. And I will come to the rabid defense of the first company that can present that future without coming off like they want to own my property. Thank you as well.

With the aid of lawyers.

However, it does limit how many people have to buy a game. Which upsets publishers. Who can be appeased with an offering of draconian DRM, but without DRM? The people who make the big system sellers would flee the ship like rats.

Huh. I wasn't even aware that was an option.

I live in the US, in an area where the only possible internet provider is Cox, and I am a servant of their whims, which do not always work well. This still makes me better off than a large chunk of the US. I have friends who cannot afford internet, I have family in areas where internet better than dial-up doesn't even…

Well I, for one, live in a world where people with easy, constant access to a good internet connection are in the minority, where people should be able to own a product if they purchase it and do with it as they please within the limits of copyright law, and where requiring that someone set up a camera in their home…

And when the inevitable is horrible for the consumers, why, exactly, shouldn't the consumers try to delay it?

Say, hypothetically, it was proven tomorrow that Monsanto had created and distributed a product which is extremely likely to cause cancer. Would you praise that innovation, too?

Ahhh. The old "OMG IT WAZ JUST A JOEK U GUIZ LOL U STUPID" defense. It's good to see the classics.

In fairness, the cloud can be used to improve performance if it's done right on both the developer and console side. The problem is the evidence so far indicates neither of those will happen.
