Learn to economics. Monopoly doesn't mean absence of competitors, but getting people only to buy from you. Dominating market share means A) it's a hassle to find products and services that work well with the competition, and B) that the competition has less selection because devs/manufacturers are forced to work for…

People who live in glass houses... He says Greenlight is broken by design because it's suspectible to trolls. They can rig the game by upvoting games that garner negative publicity through how godawful they are. That means in the end only lowest-quality scarecam bait or offensive bullshiton the one end of the…

Well, that's the thing, innit? The US is a country where you can participate in the decision-making through the democratic process. Valve is a private company, and what's a CEO at its core? A plutocratic dictator. Ultimately you have shit to say how he/she (but mostly he) runs the joint, no matter what the…

Still, it refutes the absolute statement made by the devs. And anyway, it's been a decade; you can't tell me there's no code for that out there, or a savvy coder who could implement it in Source if it could be done by a, ahem, less than AAA outfit such as Troika.

"In our game you will not find inventory system or notes system—there are no people who could do that on Source engine (people start to hate it cause it's outdated). So just sit tight, take pen and notebook and play as hardcore gamer, make notes yourself, draw your maps yourself."

For example: the High Orbit Ion Cannon (HOIC), a free piece of software that allows anyone to flood a website with overwhelming amounts of dummy traffic created by custom scripts. Anyone with a computer can download this program, type in the URL of a website, and watch the HOIC generate fake user after fake user in…

HELLO RED PILLER

If this was Reddit, the Redpillers would come down on us like a cometary impact.

Orders of magnitude better than Rowling's Dumbledore stunt, though.

Now look who's secretly butthurt!

Enough with your biased Western USraeli Nazi half-truths!

It's pretty much Fox News of the Putin Party.

In one word? PFFFTHAHAHA

"the SJW-ishy track record Bioware has and tries to promote in their overly diverse games"

Another glorious victory for the freedom-loving gamer community over the nanny state fascist SJW censors! Now we can all play this fugly-looking shit game only sociopaths who fap off to photos of car accident victims can enjoy playing! RAH RAH GAMURZ REPRESENT SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWAH #HatredGate

TBH, I agree. Anything that smells like backroom politics isn't right with me, even if the decisions of the company in question don't negatively impact me like say government backroom politics. If the suits think "this shit makes us look back, so we pull it" they should say so. They should have enough talent in their…

Let's forget all about "violence in videogames" and all that jazz for a minute. From everything I've seen of this game it looks like total shit. The color palette is so washed-out it's almost pure greyscale. You have literally nothing else to do than kill somebody or other. In GTA you can fly around the beautiful…

I know censorship has been extended to private organizations and individuals, but at the risk of sounding like a hardcore Objectivist, the word only makes sense in a state-nonstate actor relationship. The government censorship can put you behind bars; companies that don't sell your product because they follow the old…

I played the hell out of the various GTAs and God knows how many other games where you can go on killing sprees, and I must agree. In GTA you can frag civvies with your rocket launcher and fly away with your jetpack. Then you can do a fuckload of other things, including just looking at the awesome graphics. Hatred's…

In war games you kill soldiers who would kill you if they noticed you sneaking up. In most of the cases they're armed and very much not defenseless. And even if they aren't, they're still soldiers and went into the war with the strong intention to kill you.
