It's not even free, you get to pay $15 for the privilege of being a beta tester. I don't get the whole thing myself, but if people are into it and it helps out indie devs that cool, but just seems destined for abuse.

Autism and having time on your hands are completely different things. You can definitely have one and not the other. Source: Personal experience.

I'd say he should play Watch_Dogs...but he plays that already with the NSA

If you think Mars Conspiracy Theorists can be dissuaded by little things like "inescapable logic" and "cold, hard data" then I've got a bridge in Cydonia to sell you.

Xbox Live will never have the prices and practices of Steam as long as consoles are closed platforms.

I think it's pretty minor hyperbole to refer to people that way who support always-online DRM, no used/renting games. I mean, how would you refer to people who support cable companies wanting to get rid of Net Neutrality? Would you call them dicks instead of scum? XD

We are all beetles under GRRMs rock... or the characters are , almost same effect
