What I mean was, I see no reason why the new GTA would be any different. (But I haven't played it to verify)

Well, in past GTA games the sniper rifle headshots can make their head explode.

People sell to pawnshops for the lack of hassle, and the immediacy. No mailing, no waiting for someone to pay, or transfer from paypal to your bank account, you go in, get cash, walk out. Pawnshops also take advantage of people in dire straights who have no access to other forms of selling, and/or druggies just…

Her name is Koko, she is loco, I said OH NO!

Fighting games aren't as big like this because the skill gap is always MUCH wider. Generally in fighting games you have "skill lines" like

In my area, we called that a "Suicide"

One of the biggest reasons he's popular, is who Voices him. The talented, amazing, iconic man. Tim Curry.

This is definitely not any different in the US. When we want someone to quit so they don't get benefits, but don't have a good enough reason to fire them and deny unemployment, bosses generally cut your hours as much as possible without letting you qualify for "major hour loss" partial unemployment, and then stick you…

I don't think it paints them in bad light at all. It's definitely focused on an extremely tiny part of the cosplay community, but it says that right at the start anyway. They're following people who consider themselves "professional" cosplayers. Ones that go to MULTIPLE conventions in a short time period to compete in…

Also Card Hunter.

If it's as bad as the IV port, hopefully never. Rockstar said F-U to PC gamers a long time ago. We still don't have Red Dead Redemption either.

Except SHAFT very specifically does it to drum up sales. And everyone knows it. And they still rake in boatloads of cash. I call buying anything SHAFT, being "SHAFT'D"

I think there's a problem with looking too deeply into a very obvious satire, and taking deep and lasting offense to it. Another form of DEEP INSPECTION could seem like he was implying rapists are no better than animals, and should be dealt with like animals.

Running hacked .apks rarely works anymore for games that are newer you need root access and a hacked playstore to emulate .apk certification, as well as a hacked .apk. Generally speaking, it's much easier to jailbreak an iphone (as long as it's not fully updated). Piracy itself is not the issue, but as is mentioned,…

Taste just being a euphemism used by the self-declared "higher class" as a way to imply that their opinion is of higher quality for no reason other than that they pat each other on the back and agree. So yes, you're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine. Neither is any poorer than the other.

I think that's more of a problem with that particular overly sensitive group/s.

I don't think it's so much a "pay me" as a "give me credit on the picture, or in the credits"

But that's not quite true either, since even Subscription based games now, have cash shops and advantages to be bought. No even ground (until time evens it out economy wise) when a payer can get a 230% speed mount instantly, that you'd have to grind tokens for 3 months to get.

Yeah, I wish they'd do a 10 day free trial, cheap upgrade to subscription if you want to continue playing.

For me, a BIG part of it, is simply initial investment. If I have to buy a game for $30, and get 1 month with a working man's free time, I don't feel like I get enough time to play monthly, to justify spending $15 each month on it. This is why I highly prefer the Buy2play model with some cash shop, much like GW2 does…
