All of them? Surely just most, unless you're saying they provide a Steam key even for games that aren't Steamworks integrated?

While legally you are correct, it is still a breach of trust.

The 'is your internet post acceptable for public consumption?' checklist:

I totally agree, when you buy into an ecosystem like this (which is what modern technology has largely become about), you want to feel like you can trust the provider, and see that they care about the end-user. This is fan service and care at its finest, while I think MS can make great products, they do make you feel…

That seems to be the case, I certainly love the idea of some great party games with core Nintendo concepts behind them, but without having played it or seen a Wii U in real life, I'm not itching to buy it. The sooner I get to play a demo, the happier I'll be. I don't know a single person here in the UK who is planning…

I'm with you there. Odds on it'll be badly designed.

Have you considered sending them an e-mail or letter expressing your disgust? I'd usually say people are far too sensitive over these things, but I think that's a completely fair reason to say to a company, "Look you're effectively telling us we shouldn't buy into your games early. Convince me otherwise, because…

I agree about sexualisation, especially since its insulting even to those who its meant to appeal to. When a woman in a game has huge boobs, I just think it looks ridiculous (and it's not as if I don't like big boobs in real life).

You make a good point, he's not exactly going all out for the internet, and he may have just been crowd-pleasing during this term. Either way, I reckon we would only have been worse with Romney, so it went the best way possible in any case.

Agreed 100%, I'm a firm supporter of the new interface and love the new live tiles. Sure, there are a few extra shortcuts that could be put in (more accessible shutdown button), and they REALLY should've put in some tutorials to explain how best to get around the interface, but now I'm used to it I much, much prefer…

I totally agree. There are some kinks that need ironing out and a few shortcuts Microsoft could add (quicker access to the shutdown button for example), but I actually much prefer the new Start menu. When you want to launch a new program, you don't need the rest of the screen to still be there, so it may as well use…

I saw an interview where he claimed all the writers thought that was an anticlimactic ending and wasn't suitable for the film, so they never even thought about putting it in. Interesting though, when I saw the film I was like, how are they going to fit it in? And then it ended XD.

Sounds like a great idea, now they need to put this in Call of Duty along with disabling the microphone.

No, I care about a fleshed-out world, it's just a case of wanting to consistently read the books in the game rather than trying to pick and choose. But there's loads and I don't have the patience to read excerpts from books in the middle of frenetic action. It's not like I don't enjoy reading books, it's that nothing…

Hm, I'm on the 7th mission now and I've been too lazy to read any tangential books that aren't diaries or notes pertaining to the mission. I have looked at them all to have them saved in 'notes' though. There must be 50 different books at least, I can't imagine the time investment to read them all. I guess I should…

This is interesting to hear, I'll have to use it more next time round. Although after being sneaky-sneaky this time, I'm tempted to jack up the difficulty and try and play it like a straight slash-n-shoot-'em-up next time!

Some people would prefer a unique, breathtaking experience that lasts less time than some long, fairly bog standard games. If anything, a shorter game means you're less likely to get bored of the mechanics. And finally, I bought Journey the other day and played it for 2 hours, I still haven't finished it.

To the Moon is pretty short though, I finished it in a couple of days :).

I would argue that the scale does not work like that with videogames. Perhaps you simply enjoy games more than me, but I find that the vast majority of games are crap. Why? Because unlike books, and to a much greater degree than films, you need a complex technological framework in place, a repeatable set of…

That's because those games fulfill a niche :P. Can't say I know what La Pucelle is, and I've never played PSO 3. I don't think I've ever enjoyed a game rated below 75 on Metacritic, and that's not because I'm a snob. The lowest rated games I can think of that I loved are the Ace Attorney series on DS, but that's…
