Fact 1) These aren't really facts, but rather interpretations and opinions. Get off your high horse.

No, that's Lightning Returns. Obviously my made up name is superior.

What? You didn't hear it was now called Final Fantasy XV - Lightning Strikes Again?

Except Microsoft said the Xbox One will work perfectly fine if you chose to unplug the Kinect.

You're already being monitored in your home, from your computers and your mobile phones.

We do live in a free market, as you describe. The only issue is that the market isn't providing consumers with the best product.

Once you sacrifice your rights of your own volition, you can't be surprised that a companies will take advantage of you.

The troll is strong with this one.

Probably the best option would be to let the studio rebrand the game as something else - whether that would be rebooting the Prey brand and just ignoring the existence of the original, or giving a new name entirely, but at least give the studio the ability to make it their own property and expand on it in a way of…

Well, first off, it seems you're saying the exact same thing I'm saying, so I guess we agree.

Good lord man, you couldn't possibly be further from the truth. Consoles being the backbone? Pffft. You do realize the reason we don't have pretty PC games is because of those consoles needing ports, right?

It's going to be absolutely hilarious if Sony reveals that it has just as draconian a system as the Xbox One, and all the fools who went out of their way to bash Microsoft and talk about how they'd be jumping to PS4 will have to eat crow.

However its silly to assume that developers are going to map out every single light source in an environment...

I've read quite a bit by both authors. I went to a pretty prestigious college prep high school and took some very intensive philosophy courses where we studied Paine, Hegel, Marx, etc.

I said this last time a Techland article came up, and I'll say it again.

First off, thank you. This is the type of discussion I want to have. Also, Ace Attorney gifs are immensely welcome.

Whether it is "stupid" or "ill-formed" is irrelevant. Microsoft has decided to use PC-style DRM tactics on its console user base.

I know what the First Sale Doctrine is, and I know what it suggests. If you want me to, I could gladly explain why it wouldn't apply in this case, as it hasn't in other cases. The First Sale Doctrine clearly doesn't apply to a service like Steam, because Steam operates in the same way I am suggesting - you are…

I totally agree. There probably is a better way. Steam is a good balance between DRM and freedom, but it can do better.

Oh yeah, total hipster here. Taking out student loans and working almost full time at a retail position while in school to get a job in an industry I care about. Definitely all about polka-dot bow ties and thick-framed glasses while I ride on my fixie bike.
