Reminds me of ...

lol, is this some kind of trolling from Sony ? Launch ad taking place in Japan, while release date has been postponed 4-5 monthes later than elsewhere :/

lol, did they really expose their car plates in this video ?

Quote from my post :

Actually you're not bursting my bubble, you're effectively providing another example about why game mechanics are better life extenders than stories (for now). Dota and LoL don't have stories, they rely purely on mechanics & systems.

Well, I should have been more precise : the era of pure storytelling in videogames is over :)

The last two paragraphs (besides the tl;dr) are unnecessary and redundant, sorry for that. That's the downside of long time thought posts, and I wish I could edit it, but well, kinjas rules. Anyway I hope people will be able to see my point.

Systems thinking – according to Peter Senge of the Center for Organizational Learning at MIT – is “a discipline for seeing wholes.

DRM means Digital Right Management. Which can hold a very large array of meanings to protect an intellectual property, more than what has been actually tried in the past.
