@mikelcal: Not necessarily. Back when the first version of FF came out, my main draw was that it was light-weight, and faster than IE. If just_laze is a sellout, than you could probably call everyone that made FireFox popular a sellout as well. The only thing keeping me from adopting Chrome (or even Opera) is because…

Okay, the idea behind this s kind of retarded and pointless. If a large publisher like UbiSoft publishes 237 games, and Rockstar with 23, OF COURSE Rockstar is going to have a more consistent record, they have less games to fuck up. More focus/effort (which ultimately translates to more budget per) can be shifted…

GameStop or not, I agree 100%. Never, never underestimate the power of laziness (aka. convenience).

@HeroLite: The Wii is the lowest-priced system this generation. It's selling by the tons, blowing away the 360 and PS3. Why on earth would you expect that they would lower the price?

@Keef: need wonk

@edhe (xbl): Let's not forget that this is also what happened with Resident Evil 2, so sometimes it pays off.

@ReaveT: I'm pretty sure that Volition had nothing to do with the decision, since the article says that THQ (Publisher) made the call.

"...Boon is the last Ace they've got left up their sleeve..."

Wow, out of ALL of these comments, as well as the article, nobody mentioned anything about attitude. My industry involves so many start-ups, that risk and luck play a big part in the survival of a company. My average gig usually lasts 1-2 years, 3 if I'm lucky. Here are some ideas that have helped drive me while I was…

Goddammit, I was just getting my life back in order again!!! Damn it, all!

They're going to have to come up with something that I actually want before I slap down more money for another DS.

@SatansBestBuddy: This isn't a Depression... yet...

@engstewart: Isn't this totally not the point of the article, though? This is all about managing all the paperwork that aren't digital...?

@SkonOfVulcan: Where is "this part of the US"? I live in L.A. (Encino) and my 1 BR (about 150 sq. ft.) apartment is $1175 a month... for what it is, it's considered a deal.

Really? They had to pick this particular time in history to delve into the retail market, huh? Great strategy...

I'm going to have to jump on the Harmony One soapbox, as well. Its really expensive, but god damn, it's the best investment I've ever made for my entertainment system (and every other IR remote, ever)! The only possible upgrade they could do is to add Bluetooth, wi-fi, & RF remote functionality.

I want to play as Han Solo.

@OptimusSlime: Bird shirt every month of the year.

When can I expect to download this greatness that you speak of?

@stupid_mcgee: Wasn't a new developer already named for a totally different Battlefront III?
