Yeah but at least Sony and Microsoft’s digital purchases have always been tied to a singular account. Nintendo fragments their purchases between accounts and occasionally locks them to single systems.

The easiest thing is to do what Nintendo used to do, have a console repair training program for electronic shops that want to repair systems. Charge a reasonable fee, give the shop stickers that say ‘Authorized and Certified repair shop’ for them to put on the doors/windows and set up a zip-code search and part of the…

Negative Thought: This is why people make fun of millennials.
Distortions: Overgeneralization.
Positive Thought: It’s good that someone found a way to cope with a problem.

Works for Germany. We have a legally binding 16+ and 18+ rating. Stores are not allowed to sell anything age restricted to a minor. This does not prevent that material from going into minors’ hands, but it adds another layer of parental control. If you don’t want your kid to have an 18+ game, you don’t buy that game.…

As other people have said, that would be a free speech violation, and stores already have a similar policy (by their own choice, not by law), anyway. The stores could refuse to sell M-rated games to adults who are with kids if they *wanted* to, and the accounts could be banned if the developer *wanted* to (though the…

I’d do anything for “adult only” multiplayer...

Those Nissan managers are just plain stupid.

Brandon Sanderson’s magic systems are all based on rules, so it makes sense that they work really well as a video game. Personally, I would love to play Mistborn as a video game — you have a limited supply of various metals which you can ingest and use throughout the game and then you restock metals at various points…

I honestly don’t see the problem with the original comment. Making fun of how different groups speak relative to each other is pretty basic and harmless comedy on its own. I’ve had it happen to me. Life goes on. I wouldn’t to hear it in a workplace where things like genuine minority status or disparities of power come…

Mercy is what eased me in and got me hooked on the game. I’m a crap aim but great at team management. I’ve since expanded out to other characters, but she was my favorite for the longest time. I’m saddened by the constant changes.

There’s something about the “if you’re not in top 500, get better” mentality that they’re not owning up to. If you’re enough of a schmuck to soak top 500 spots with alts, what are the chances you’d ever allow someone that isn’t you to knock one of your alts out of that spot? Some of their egos are so over-inflated…

This is one of those instances where the behavior of esports competitors is incongruent with their desire to be treated like a real sport.

Of course. These are basically the same people who were picked on by the “jocks” in school, but they themselves have become the jocks in their own circle.

If your reasoning for something boils down to “yeah, well who’s gonna stop me?” chances are you’re just a bully.

It really is. “If I can be a millionaire so can you, you’re just lazy” but in video game form.

There’s one thing about having alt accounts for 500. There’s also something about being an ass about it.

Organized sports has decided (or at least pretended to), that being a bad sport will get you punished, no matter how skilled you are.

Glad to hear Evolve is getting a second life!

They’d say no because they love making games. It’s their whole existence. They don’t care about the bottom line (which is why they’re pirate-friendly). They also don’t have shareholders (They aren’t a traded company)

Quite possibly it is a relieving chamber similar to the four granite chambers placed above the burial chamber and which were intended to reduce the pressure of the overlying masonry on the ceiling. The Grand Gallery is a huge open space that would also be vulnerable to collapse.
