That's a great point. The price cut is only one aspect of a Steam sale. The other is the publicity of popping up on Steam's front page. I hear people talk about and recommend a lot of indie games, but I still discover TONS of games that I never knew existed until they pop up when I open Steam.

He gets to the real heart of his argument when he says he thinks rampant sales might decrease overall dev profit. That's what he's really worried about, here. I think he doesn't like that his profits are spread out over periodic sales, and would prefer more of that income focused at the release of the game. Which is…

Not until someone releases the Hot Coffee mod...

Yeah, my thinking is similar. I have no problem with it, in concept. I don't think it's morally wrong, or inherently harmful, or anything. The key is making sure that everyone involved in such an arrangment receives equal rights, responsibilities and protections under the law.

There's not really much that's impressive about this. Looks nice enough, assuming any of it is actually representative of the real-time, in-game visuals. Also considering it's a pretty bland environment - super high-res stone and graffiti textures on blocks of geometry. Is any of it destructible? How's the cloth sim?…

I use my credit card for everything. I pay the balance off weekly, so I never pay interest and it's easy to keep track of how much I spend (online banking makes this as simple as it's possible to be). Plus I earn reward points that typically amount to a free $700 flight each year, which I use for my summer vacation.…

It's not something that PC gaming *can't* offer. It's something PC gaming has not offered in the past, because of the choices that PC game devs tended to make, i.e. to constantly push performance to the limit and chase the latest hardware.

That has GOT to be their tagline.

It's not slut shaming to point out that someone who's trying to use their butt to promote their fitness actually had butt implants.

This article doesn't come across as indulgent at all. It comes across as pretty mocking and judgemental.

Happy trails, Hans. Happy trails everyone!

Yeah, that Cooper person's explanation reeks of "you're just jealous", which is like the weakest and most pathetic cop-out of actually addressing criticism there is.

Man, they need to do a large-scale, open-world-ish Silent Hill, or at least a game in the spirit of Silent Hill.

Yeah, and not only a zombie game, but an "infected", post-apocalyptic zombie game. So bored of the premise.

The great thing about the Hobbit is that it's a small-scale story in a big world. There are big, ominous forces on the movie, beyond the scope of Bilbo and the Dwarves' little quest. Lots of mysteries and unanswered questions. In my opinion, those aspects are exactly what make the Hobbit what it is. It's setting the…

Money. Three guaranteed box-office smashes instead of just one, by stretching out the same source material. Plus several years/Christmases over which the toys and related merchandise can be sold.

Haha, nothing like big, badass suits of armor with piddly little visors, or no head protection at all. Gotta show off those rugged movie star good looks!

Canada gets shafted yet again.
