Part of it could be that regardless of Google's stance on it, China's going to do it anyway. If Google leaves on principle, China'll just pirate their own version of it like they do everything else, and Google will lose out for relatively no reason. They're not gonna change China with a moral stand. All they'd do is…

Hoho! I see what you did there!

Saying it like this is a little bit inaccurate, and almost paints it as a bad thing. The sites won't just disappear for the day. They'll be inaccessible for their normal purposes, but most will display information regarding why and what SOPA is, why it's bad, and what it will do to the internet, possibly even with…

Sucks you still can't get it, but look at this way: By the time you do have the money, most (if not all) of the three major DLC packs will be out and you can get the season pass and just play through it all, rather than having to take monthlong breaks to wait for it like the rest of us do.

The problem isn't that PEOPLE are supporting SOPA. People aren't and see it for the bullshit it is. The problem is that corporations support the hell out of it. And those same corporations support the hell out of the politicians supporting SOPA. It's not just another of those "Oh, this is insane and will never pass."…

Except SOPA's got pretty much fuck all to do with piracy. MANY people are opposed to it that don't pirate. Pirates will actually be able to bypass the effects of SOPA pretty easily, as the DNS blocking it employs is already able to be bypassed currently. This is about the media industries wanting more power to shut…

Definitely. This was a terrible choice. I ended up having to buy an HDTV pretty much just for this game. It was unreadable on my SDTV. And my friend with an HDTV said it was still a bit small and hard to read on his.

The game was good, not great like DA:O was, but good. The combat was vastly improved. People bitch the dialogue options were dumbed down when in reality, the amount of options were roughly the same. Just because there weren't icons showing you what were the good, bad, and neutral options, doesn't mean DA:O wasn't…

replying to approve

Replying to approve.

Way to admit you didn't even read my reply. Who's issuing takedown notices? I said so right in my reply. Viacom issued FALSE takedown notices against Sony for the trailer for Last Of Us. And got it taken down. Twice, actually. There's already TONS of fraudulent DMCA claims made all the time. There is a process to…

Like Owen said further up in the comments, it's probably bureaucratic BS. Likely something like having to resubmit the game for PSN approval at the new price point, leading to a delay as it has to go back through the approval process. The process for approving and adding games on both of the systems can tend to be…

The problem isn't that people in American have to pay $3 more. It's that, due to MS' points system and PSN's cash system, PS3 owners (in America, but making the distinction misses the point here) have to pay more than 360 owners, which doesn't make any sense at all.

It's not about piracy. At all. SOPA's methods can ALREADY be bypassed. Thus all pirates can still pirate even if SOPA passes.

Actually, they removed nothing. I've since checked up and found out the original reporting that they'd withdrawn was some actual bad journalism and that they were never on the list of SOPA supporters, and thus had never removed themselves when it was reported as such. So yes, as of now, Epic is the only company that's…

Yep. I've done it. And gotten a form letter telling me what SOPA is (so fucking condescending...) and that my concerns will be kept in mind. At this point, the only thing I can do is speak out on Twitter, Facebook, and places like Kotaku to convince others how devastating SOPA is / will be so that they can follow…

but there's still a large amount of companies within the ESA that either have no comment (like capcom) or support the bill (and are just smart enough to not say anything.)

I know how to read. You're the idiot that just dismissed counters to every point you made in your poorly spelled paragraph of garbage. Troll.

Except it does actually matter. For one, if enough ESA members come out against SOPA, they would have no choice but to drop support of it. Thus ESA members that don't support it should most definitely speak up and make their stance known. Two, Epic is a producer of intellectual property. SOPA is claimed to be aimed at…

It's not holding them hostage. If you as a company do stupid shit, people that realize that you're doing stupid shit will stop giving you their business. You keep saying holding them hostage when it's nothing of the sort. So if Walmart uses sweatshop labor for their goods, people can't boycott and complain about them…
