I really find the economic defensibility of pirating ridiculous. It’s silly and completely avoids the reason most (note, not all) people pirate: because they don’t want to or cannot afford to pay for something.

“This is exactly the mobile game from Nintendo we wanted!” -Said no one ever

I felt a great disturbance in the Kinja, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in entitlement and were suddenly starred.

Isn’t Snake more or less Snake Pliskin in the first place?

I teach English (lit/rhet comp), and the first thing I try to get across to my students is that -all- work is derivative at the present time; there are no dramatic situations an author can propose that have not already been hit (at their base notes) by those…

proclaiming that the car doesn’t emit anything, except for the owner’s smugness.

To be honest, it’s not a nightmare. It’s not even the worst possible thing.

I can’t even imagine the kind of meaningless life one has to live to consider this shit important.

I hate it when you need to buy things in order to enjoy a game... wait.. you dont? Then why are people... ohhhhhhhhhhh they dont understand that buying a game for 5 bucks does not really help the developer who has been consistently pushing out new content survive.... gotcha..

Lolz. You’ve bought into the absurd notion that the reason that Islamic Jihad exists is because of poverty. It has nothing to do with poverty and instead, it has everything to do with their faith.

I actually still wish they let you install it once and throw away the disc. My tv is mounted to the wall, with the Xbox one tucked behind it. Not having to access it is a plus, and disc versions see better sale prices than digital editions... But I realize I am in the minority. Maybe if they offered a mail in service…

... ... ...that’s like complaining that the monday newspaper puts the football scores in the paper before you watch the recording you made of it sunday.

It’s easy to make comparisons like this, but there’s a very big difference between games from 1991 and games from 2015.

Holy crap, there are people complaining about this? And you wonder why gamers are often considered whiny.

Why NOT do this? You lose nothing if you just play the levels in order anyway. Come on, people.

Let’s say you absolutely loved chapter 6. But you sold the game and your console. Years later, you pick the game up on…

That’s not duct tape, the Comrade tape!!! It has the strength of 10,000 Putin’s and can withstand capitalists mockery, as well as Nuclear explosions. Another wonder from Mother Russia!

Him going into Tejada was to break up the double play not to hurt him. He just didn’t care if Tejada was injured as long as the double play wasn’t completed .

there’s no subscription model. If you want them to keep pushing out content like they’re gonna offer for free every few months how are they supposed to feed their families

A yearly game that offers FREE new content with completely optional micro-transactions? That sounds perfect. CoD asks for $60 every year and then makes you pay more money for simple multiplayer maps, and games like that or Madden are totally accepted. This transition sounds like it will work well, and hopefully…

Confirmed at Bungie.net:

The game doesn’t have a subscription model. If you want them to have steady jobs for their families and steady work on new expansions and updates, letting other people buy cosmetic items really isn’t that bad.
