Now that appeal will be gone for a lot more people who enjoyed it.

Yep.

"Let me make this perfectly clear. Your initial statement referenced lies. I pointed this out. You referenced one of these things that were misquoted and then misrepresented it. I provided a more factual and general response. You denied it solely on the basis you disagree. You then denied me and violated every rule of…

+1. Get up there, you.

As I expected, you don't have a valid argument. Perhaps I should ask you the same thing. Denying anything the opposing party states as "Nope, nope. Lie. Dumb. Nope" doesn't really scream "professional." It proclaims your insecurity for all to see. Tell me, what is your actual platform? Other than posting contrary…

Cute. Perhaps you should go read up on the definition of what a lie is. You're an expert in believing and defending them. Maybe you're just posting here because you want be "edgy." I don't know. Every single one of your posts on this article has been in favor of anti-consumer policies and advocating the greed of major…

"The check in made sense as it was the only way to make certain no one was pirating. It was certainly intrusive but at the time a better option didn't exist and still doesn't. It wasn't right for the world admittedly."

That's just pathetic. You actually believe that. Say no more, Vaer. You'll clearly believe anything…

Hear, hear.

"It might sound like some conspiracy theory, but if you take a second to look for yourself you'll see that much of the things that supposedly 'are not possible' are only so because there's a more profitable alternative."

This is an article pointed towards the users of the internet in the United States. As was my previous comment.

Wholeheartedly agreed with you. My hope is that maybe, maybe if enough people get pissed off about this, get really mad, and loud, that action could be taken to break away.

This is the death of the internet as we know it, why on earth aren't people making a bigger deal about this???

Keep telling yourself that. I'd be happy to cite some sources, but you're going to say "Well..these aren't credible" because you've chosen to not accept reality. The mandatory 24-hour check in was a real thing, nothing misrepresented or misquoted about that. The used-game DRM was also a real thing. Again, nothing…

Yes, because Microsoft's "You can pay to play your friend's game if publishers approve it, and they can't have their game back...but we may not actually even let you do this, as we're only currently 'exploring' the idea" policy on used games and the mandatory 24-hour check-in was so wonderful. Microsoft dug their own…

Also, a big THANK YOU for this article.

Agreed. For the sake of being relevant to gaming I had stated gaming websites. You are absolutely correct, though. This is much, much bigger than gaming.

Throw some insatiable greed into the mix, and it gets even worse.

Why do I feel like we just fell behind in innovative technology by several decades?

...Isn't corporate greed wonderful?

You can keep all your Amidianborn 4K texture mods and ENB series!

This is the only mod I'll ever need.

I'm honestly expecting later iterations of Bungie's Destiny to have expansive space battles. I think they stated that the Sabre sequence in Reach was more of an experiment for them, and that they were pleased when it had such great feedback from the fans.

I loved it. I'd love to see more of it in the sequel to Destiny…

A faithful bunch we have here. Thank you all!
