Ah yes. The infamous Ken flowchart. Never change, Ken mains. Never change.

Look. He still has both arms and can easily put his underwear on still. He only stops giving a damn after he loses an arm.

Right. Are we talking HDDs in use or even HDDs that are stored on a shelf? Either way, I can’t imagine spending years developing a game and not keeping the files backed up, but times were different back then for sure.

Ok pardon my ignorance, but how difficult is it to just put things on a storage drive? By the 2000s HDDs started becoming very reasonably priced. Chuck everything onto a drive label it with a sharpie and put it on a shelf. 

Kirk, if you’re reading this I have only two words for you:

HOLY SHIT

I think the logic is that old White Men in Power are essentially the reason for so many different systems of oppression. Especially the rich ones. This wasn’t necessarily about race. You just lack nuance.

Stephen,

I’ll break it down simply.

So what are they gonna do about those elevator load times?

Will there ever be any reasonable countermeasures to cheating in videogames? I hate people.

Yes.

TIREDT!

Those things don’t work against bots. The best thing to do would be some kind of two-factor authentication per each sale. You’d have to use your phone number to get a code and complete the purchase.

Mind you, there are easy ways around this, but that’s not the point. The point is to slow down the bots as much as…

Blame Japanese culture and ‘the suits’ at Squaresoft. The way it basically went down is that the business side of the production forced Vaan to be in the game because you HAVE to have a pretty boy protagonist or else the game won’t sell. After all, that’s what Japanese market research says.

There are several cards "selling" for 10,000+ on eBay. It's obvious that they're bids meant to troll the botters and scalpers. 

That was the whole point of making the penalty for the buyer MUCH worse than that of the reseller.

I stand by my statement. Botters should be executed on site.

Scalpers and Flippers should be fined heavily. The people that purchase from Scalpers and Flippers should be sent to jail.

Let’s make it happen, folks.

I’ve been playing Modern Warfare on PC as of Season 4 and I gotta say I get STOMPED by some of the console players on crossplay. I see no distinct advantage in using mouse and keyboard on a game such as Modern Warfare.

That’s not to say that I don’t wreck house using m+k, but it’s not always a guaranteed victory.

I wonder how much of this price was driven by nVidia. AMD has yet to reveal their Big Navi video cards, but surely everyone paid attention. This is going to be an interesting few months for gamers across the spectrum
