I predict an armada of dick-cars. Calling it now.

same! at first I was completely underwhelmed but then I had a kind of "eureka" moment where it just clicked.

it's the pretence that this has anything to do with helping the people who are in a dire situation that irks me. This is not about overthrowing a murderous regime, it's about changing the guards and making money.

Indeed. I can't believe people actually buy into this bullshit.

so you'd rather play these games as a dimwitted thug with nothing interesting to say for himself?

they wouldn't look like anything, remember the great convention! :P

I had to reread it a few times, but it does make sense:

In a way, I agree with your point... timed exclusivity deals are bullshit, and whether it's a tactic of 'good business' or not is irrelevant to my interests, as a consumer it embitters me towards the company that engages in said practices (and on consoles, both of the major platform holders are guilty)...

"WILLIAM!!!!!!!!"

*boing*

pssst, I think you've directed that at the wrong poster there, bud :P

by working for one of the affiliated studios such as TTgames. /swoon

No sign of Monsanto then? They'd be in the running for worst company in human history if you ask me...

I recently landed a job QA testing for TTgames (they do the LEGO games)... whilst I was expecting to hate it, not being a fan of the games, I'm actually really enjoying the job. The wages aren't amazing, and with my lengthy commute to work and back (5 hours on the train every weekday) , tedium does set in, but even…

man.... I might have to start using my discount on LEGO products. This looks awesome, though I'm mindful of the perils of stepping on LEGO blocks in the dark when bare foot... it's been a while, but it's not something you forget in a hurry!

We're seeing similar things in the music and film industries too. What it boils down to is publishers wanting to retain complete control of the market, pushing for legislation that grants them more power to exert their control.

ding ding ding, we have ourselves a winner, ladies and gentlemen.

NO! Not in the ocean, INSIDE the ocean!
