This really isn't that new of a thing with the gaming media. For example Incgamers wasn't given D3 Beta Keys since Blizzard blacklisted them 3 years ago since they said something in a news article about SC2 that Blizzard didn't like.

Unfortunately that's what these game companies will keep doing since it gives them extra cash. If it's something like a single player game I'd be tempted to just torrent exclusive things that I couldn't get.

Eh it's like that in every universe, sci-fi or fantasy. Humans are rarely just a normal race and always have to be special in some way. Least GW2 is kinda unique in that regard in that humans are just a normal race and actually one of the lesser populated races. Though something tells me I'd see the typical 'flexible…

Though they can point out how a lot of the models in DOTA 2 look awfully similar to models from WC3.

No, Valve doesn't have the right to base things off WC3's assets. They based things on what another game company made. It doesn't matter if they altered a model a bit since in the end it still was based on the work of someone else. And whether they have the right to the name remains to be seen. :P But I do know that…

Icefrog actually didn't create DOTA.

But regardless of what those people want it does come down to right or wrong. And it does set a good point for Blizzard (since things like that WILL come up if this goes to court). And while you feel that way about the heroes any other person I've talked to has said the exact opposite (we're talking models here not…

Only this time a lot of that work was based on the work of a company they don't own (for the models and assets). :p

Maybe if the models in DOTA 2 and other assets didn't look right from WC3. It was pretty sad when they showed the trailer last year and I was able to point out what each model was in WC3.

Maybe if DOTA 2 was completely unique. It isn't and copies so blatantly off WC3's models that it's laughable.

I really don't see a problem with Blizzard not wanting Valve to use the name DOTA. What they said sums it up pretty well. They want to trademark a name that was based on a map made in another game. It always seemed like a shady move by Valve to name it DOTA 2 especially when the models in DOTA 2 look so ripped from…

Eh I guess there really wasn't much competition then besides maybe Rift.

What features does ToR have that isn't in just about every MMO? WoW doesn't have group looting for example but unlike ToR has it's color blind mode. The NPC characters with you is nothing since the content is balanced around you having those companions and every other thing on that list is nothing unique to ToR. This…

I don't mind them. Are they grade A storytelling? No, but neither are the games. Course I never understood the whole 'Zomg we can'tz have bad video game movies!!!1!' mentality.

Watching that made me realize how terrible the acting was in the first movies.

Too bad it's physically impossible for something like the Death Star to work thanks to that thing called gravity. I still think the Death Star was the dumbest thing about Star Wars right next to its prequels.

Honestly I'd think they'd cut down on piracy if more games had demo's so people could actually check the game before they buy it. I have no problem admitting I pirated Skyrim to play it at first and then bought it after seeing the hype was correct. If a company makes a good product they can be sure I'll give them all…

If this in any way effects my saves and ability to play with them in ME3 since I played ME1 and ME2 on Steam then they can be sure I won't be 'buying' ME3.

I haven't had a nightmare in a long long time. Then again I've always found myself lucid dreaming so I have so much control over the direction of my dreams. Although I do find myself dreaming being in whatever game I ever recently buy. For example I had a ton of Star Wars dreams for about a week after being ToR.

Hehe Blizzcon 2012.
