Again, if "the 1%" refers to people who collude with government cronies who grant them favors, it is fundamentally impossible for such people to exist when the government has no favors to grant. Stop evading.

You cannot do without food. Has the free market failed spectacularly in that respect?

All I've seen are arbitrary assertions that do not in any way address the issue of private enterprise whatsoever. You claim to attack one thing while presenting something irrelevant and unrelated as some pretense at evidence. Feel free to keep pretending you have a point.

Do you have an actual argument to make, or are you just going to smear and make vague assertions?

On the one hand, you have a fallacious interpretation of a study equating "for profit" with "free market."

This fallaciously equates "for-profit" with "free market."

I'll assume that by "the 1%," you are referring specifically to the *corrupt* super-rich, who deal in favors for and from governments. Government favors are diametrically, fundamentally in conflict with the political philosophy of Libertarians.

I'll wait to see it before deciding it pales in comparison. We have no idea at this point just how big these new areas are or how much they contain. I would not doubt it to be tribunal-big, at least. It probably wouldn't approach Bloodmoon-huge, but it's only the first expansion, eh?

Mounted combat is in the next ordinary software patch, free of charge. <3 Bethesda

DUAL, not DUEL, damnit!

In the Morrowind expansion Bloodmoon, you can choose whether to join the werewolves or fight against them. It's not unprecedented for TES.

Scary? That thing is fucking adorable. Perhaps so adorable...it's scary?

Holding down the button won't change your target in a big mob crowd.

So he'll ban the sale right before they release a successor, eh?

And what are they going to do with that data if the online mode has no access to it? Client side offline stripped down server would have no connection to the online mode; online mode would only draw from the online server, just as it does now, unchanged. What would be done with those useless files? Cheat in single…

And you're still not understanding what I've said. The offline and online experiences could be COMPLETELY separated. Offline mode could use a stripped down offline version of the server with nothing more than what's required to play the game. No online features, etc. Regular online play wouldn't be any more…

The post to which I responded claimed the existence of a fully offline mode would damage/interfere/otherwise fuck up the online experience. But if they are fully separated, as in D2, that particular type of interference is frankly impossible, since all online characters are stored on the server, just as they are in…

The problem is they designed the game so you're playing on their server even during single player. It's more like an MMO with a single-player feature.

Did you ever play Diablo II? There is a "Single Player" button and a "Battle.net" button. They both exist. They are completely separate and have no interference or interaction in general with eachother. The characters cannot go back and forth.

My retail copy of Windows 7 came with two discs (x86 & x64) and one license key. The key works for both.
