That's like saying "just eat some white rice and get the same experience as sushi but a lot cheaper"

There are standouts who do what they do because they enjoy it, however they tend to be developers and not publishers.

This poor kid had his face sliced open and you're cracking insensitive jokes about chinese bootlegs?

Like I said, single data point, but it's the only point that matters to me.

Apple doesn't care what you want in a phone, or what should be standard in a phone. They care what they can convince the end user they want in a phone.

See, my usual way to end the discussion of "it reduces a males pleasure" is:

Seriously. If I own a device that hits 100 degrees celsius, and some smug technician tells me it's "warm," I'd ask him if he'd like a glass of warm water and throw boiling water in his face...

One store said they had it for pre-order, and I had to come in to pre-order (and they were completely out of the way for me).

The fact that you're (rightfully) offended by this form of victim blaming, but people are completely complacent to smooth over the victim blaming that occurs everywhere else proves his point. He said it because it's so absurd for a human being to think a rape victim "deserves" what she gets. As absurd as thinking a…

Really, what Ubi needs to do is stop focusing so hard on how to stop people who aren't giving them money from playing the game, and focus on how to make more people give them money. We wait an extra month or two for a more restrictive game that doesn't add any genuine value to the product vs. the console version. So…

oh, it'd be convenient as hell. but I can understand how zero DRM is unappealing from a business standpoint, and I see how in the long run it's not really viable. What I'm suggesting is have DRM, but have it be a tradeoff. Sure you can't just play it anywhere you want at any time, but here's something for the…
