Guess what, right now, it only applies to France but is on hold pending appeal...so right now if you’re anywhere else other than France, and that includes the U.S., you’re out of luck.

Simple solution to restrict resales, have the key tied into the person that “purchased” the game(s) local IP address, then, if Valve ultimately loses this case, it wouldn’t matter, because your used key code wouldn’t work from someone else’s computer(unless they somehow had the same IP as the original user).

Actually that’s not how it works, but why try and explain to someone who believes as you do since you would just say I didn’t know what I was talking about(aka ToS and EULA, both of which have to be acknowledged by the end user).

Really, lets go down that rabbit hole, as if Hogan couldn’t have said “no, I’m not going to screw your wife and let you video it”...then there would never have been an issue in the first place...blame was not 100% on Gawker, that was a 50/50 split so the court was actually not right in it’s decision, just that Thiel’s…

Stop trying to tell me what to do with my money as an adult consumer, I will spend it on anything I like to spend it on.  I earned it, it’s mine to do with as I please...and I choose to use it to contribute to the economy by spending it on what I want.

That is literally the definition of gambling in the U.S. Federal Register though, the fact that putting money in does NOT guarantee a return of said money or even a portion of it is what the U.S. government has defined as gambling, therefore loot boxes do not qualify because you always get something in return, whether…

You do realize that any system is fallible for verifying someones age when using a credit card...there is no perfect way to guarantee that the person using the card is able to use it, even with age verification...how many people enter a birth date that makes them 18 on Steam or those that create FB profiles even…

Or better yet, if you’re going to get in to politics either know enough about everything to have an informed decision, or only work on those that you do know about.

You should’ve asked him how he was going to get around the definition of gambling that is already in the U.S. Federal Register?  Just in case no one is aware, the Federal Government has defined gambling so that loot boxes do not fall under the current definition, which in it’s simplest form is that as long as you get…

That’s were a rotation comes into play, instead of trying to play multiple good titles at the same time...play one title until you’ve reached saturation, then move onto another title, eventually you’ll feel like playing that first title again...at least it works for me, but then again, I do 4 main things, eat, sleep,…

Based on the latest quarterly report from NCSoft, GW2 made approximately $12,500 per employee per month...if that isn’t sufficient to cover the existing staff, then something is seriously wrong with their business...and I have a background in business, only it doesn’t jive with how Wall Street wants things.  The only…

Your point is? If you want to go down that route...we could list older MMO’s that are still around, but I don’t think that’s necessary now, is it?.

Except...that an MMO can’t have a 3 - 5 year life span, 5 years is the minimum life span it needs, they have to be around for more like 7 -10 years. So if you work for a company that makes MMO’s, the life span of the product is different, and you shouldn’t have to come out with a new one every 3 or so years, if the…

There was never going to be an Xpac to Cantha, at least not as you remembered it, and not as long as the game is still being played in China. As much as ArenaNet says China has nothing to do with it, it really does have everything to do with it.

Maybe Amazon can hire them all, they have deep pockets and don’t need to worry about the financials so much.  Hell, if I was Jeff Bezos I’d make an offer to NCSoft to buy the entire studio and it’s IP.  Technically speaking if the people running the big game publishers had never sold out to Wall Street they would only…

“However, people on twitter can’t infer that from a tweet so instead they thought it was just her creating a dialogue (it is on a public forum anyway) and instead of just clearing the record straight with her responded “I get it, but after the time I spent so far this is the best way that I’ve found to get things to…

Read the rest of it, try and understand the CONTEXT of what she wrote...contextually speaking it was a statement about the how and why it is done the way it is at ArenaNet, it wasn’t something that was open to discussion.  There needs to be an option on all social media to allow people to post things publicly and not…

If you don’t give a shit about companies, then why would you want them to control your personal social media?  Which is exactly what we’re doing when we let them use our personal social media accounts to control what we say, even if we identify our employer on said social media...it’s still my personal social media…

She wrote a post about a specific game, not games in general, it was a statement of the how and why it’s done for that game.  In the context of her post it wasn’t something open to discussion, but nobody seems to get that...context, context, context.

Actually you can treat that the criticism was unsolicited...it’s called CONTEXT.  If you and the other thousands of idiots that read her Tweet understood CONTEXT, then you would know it wasn’t open for discussion.  But CONTEXT is like COMMON SENSE, no one uses it anymore.
