1) They were already offering a $10

Funny, I read that, too.

This guy is a piece of crap, and he is a bully. He's not regretful, he's only sorry he got caught and that he tried to bully someone bigger than he was. He still doesn't even comprehend that he did anything wrong.

Coming from a PR background, it is still N-Control's fault — I'm sorry, they should have vetted this guy, they should have listened to the professionals they hired to shape their corporate image. I've seen this time and time again — the real professional PR people go in, provide suggestions to the company, the company…

Guy needs to be out of a job. That's not something I say lightly. There is no excuse for that behavior at a professional level. Period.

While timed demos are kind of annoying — who plays a demo 30 times? Not really an issue.

... Since avatars that already have the gun items get to keep them, how is that prying them from their fingers?

Can't do $50 for a portable game ... $40 was bad enough. I'll have to sit this launch out, unfortunately. When the SMT & Persona games start coming out, I'll grab it — by then, the launch titles will be reasonable :P

I caved ... didn't pay a lot, but I don't even know if I'll have time to play the games lol I just wanted to support indie developers. I'm sure I'll play them all for a few minutes lol

Rule to remember: Read before you post.

It was ... unexpected — but, fun and well made! No complaints here.

Sarcasm is dangerous to use in written English because there is no obvious identifier, as in some other languages. I think the OP is pretty legit in taking that passage at face value because there is no qualifier. The OP is also right, because your response falls directly in line with the expected responses according…

I was kind of hoping for an Ewok dancing mini game, oh well. Anyway, I don't judge games before they're actually released - so, we'll see how it all works together when it's done.

"I hope digital distribution stabs the used game market in the heart."

I don't disagree, but that's the difference between an essay and what most people here are used to, which is journalistic pieces that are expected to provide multiple points of view.

This isnt something new to milk the series - it launched along with Skylanders as an online aspect of the game - from day 1. You can even plug your portal into your PC to import your characters.

People that are getting upset or people jumping on this bandwagon need to remember one thing: this is rhetoric. It's an important discussion from a single point of view on a specific subject.

Shinta wins, thread complete.

Note to developers: You don't say it, you just do it. If you have to say it, you won't be able to do it.

People make mistakes, but going back and rubbing your exes face is a crap move no matter what — you make them feel like crap in order to make yourself feel better. It's like you crapped on them all over again.
