"Get out"? Of where? And this is the first time I've mentioned this—anywhere.

Very nice turn of phrase there. I think I might borrow that from time to time.

Also this: You paid full retail for a single-player game, but if Blizzard ever folds, or decides to stop supporting the game, your purchase, and your game, are worthless and lost forever.

Yes, come to Nerd Haven and make fun of the nerds. That's a great strategy.

Bah—I just think it's laziness or a lack of priority.

You forgot one:

It's a single player game. Forcing server authentication basically means people in rural areas are just fucked, and broadband saturation is only 50% in the US. Yes, I know there are "multiplayer components", but they are in no way essential to the game.

You're not wrong, but BC dies when consumers let it die. I phoned and mailed to tell Sony when they pulled BC from the PS3 and stated it was to save costs (which was a lie—Tretton told investors it was to force more PS3 game sales and cost savings were negligible) that I would not be buying a PS3 until they bring it…

Well, not exactly. You cannot transfer OXB save files from one hard drive to another—at all. So if you get a bigger drive, or get a new console, you cannot move your XBox save files over whatsoever.

And they couldn't allow at least transfers of save game data?

"I found out that PS3 hard drive data can only be read by the PS3 that wrote that data originally"

I thought this was gonna segue into an MMO, and they were going to re-use much of the game world and textures and art to make money that way. Is that not still the plan?

So even though Captain America did Nazis and the occult in pulp format first, and everyone else borrowed from it, Marvel can now not utilize their own story?

Wow, taking that straight to crazy-town, aren't you?

Oh look, the Nazi's are dabbling in secret and forbidden sciences/occult, I haven't seen that story since.... Hellboy 1?

Some, maybe. But not all. If that's the case, hardware/software should be released and legally emulatable within a reasonable number of years (10-15). But holding the keys, then swallowing them out of greed and/or spite, isn't a great solution.

Aaaaand this is one of the big reasons I don't like online or multiplayer games. And why D3 requiring an online connection sucks IMHO.

Wow, you really don't understand when the comic was made, or what purpose it served. The film kind of payed homage to the purpose of the comics—morale for troops and Americans in the midst of the second world war—while simultaneously having the character truly have superpowers.

Pretty much my reaction. GameFly's commercials are universally terrible.

Oh, I'll trade and sell the crap ones. But if a game is good, I keep it. It's why I have over a thousand of the suckers.
