Let’s all take a moment to appreciate that even Forbes, a business magazine, finds this whole practice immoral and financially wrong.

Sure I can, they are a multi-billion dollar company, their profits have to be in the hundreds of millions every year. 30% for a distribution platform that is very well established is ludicrous. I can understand 30% when they were first starting out to help pay for servers and employees and what not but those days are…

I’m nervous about the fact you only have 24 hours to get a refund, as mods could take longer to break and has no guaranteed compatability with other mods. Plus, what stops people from buying it, playing for 6 hours, refunding, then doing it again later or repeatedly?

The “Whoa! That was SO surreal. Okay. I’m in class. Everything’s cool. I’m okay.” line is stupid if it was said out loud... But the fact is, it isn’t.

So I’ve mulled on this for the last five minutes, because my initial impression was “Really? really? That’s not offensive, a bigot killed himself out of his own prejudice.” But to help myself understand, I decided to swap out the transgender part with something literally black and white:

*cough*Alien Swarm*cough*

How about we let people do whatever the fuck they want and the consequences of how others perceive them are theirs to own?

No it's not. One's a format, one's a platform. They're completely different.

Very nice write up Yan. I think you captured the essence of what it is to start playing Dota or LoL fresh and the learning curves involved.

"If I were animating a naked man walking, I really honestly have no idea how balls move," Alex joked. "I don't!"

Considering every commercial I've seen for the game has only had quotes like "Visually stunning!" and "Amazing Graphics!" I'm sure it's safe to say that, yes, that was their whole strategy.

As dumb as this is, as dumb as it was with "Scrolls," as dumb as it is when other companies do it "King and "Saga," anyone?), the core issue is a messed-up copyright system that basically requires companies to do stupid stuff like this or risk losing protections.

Everytime I watch that video and it gets to the part where it starts climbing the stairs I just remember that scene from Borderlands 2.

I disagree, I found it pretty funny.

Or, y'know, you could just laugh at it, becuase it's FUNNY. There's no need to take it so seriously.

I'm still annoyed with the whole buying the new game all over again thing.

This list needs more Tarantino...

Still waiting to have a moment like the first time seeing anor londo again, god that was the best. after travelling down into the depths it was like passing into heaven.

i enjoy the fact that no matter what your progress is in the game, because everything is connected actually, you can get to whereever you need or want to.
