Two different things, completely.

It is simple math. While the breakdown of where the money goes might be complex, from producer-to-consumer it's simple: developers make their estimates off of 1:1 sales. You throw in the used marketplace it could be anywhere from 1:1 to 1:x. (x being whatever number you wanna throw in there) So if it ends up being…

It's less about saving money and more about not LOSING money. If developers could sell their games 1:1, and not have to try to recoup their losses from second-hand buyers, all of these marketing techniques wouldn't even exist. Prices would drop, gamers would get more for their money, and everyone's happy.

No, his reasoning behind the online passes is that it's to correct some "imaginary crisis" (false) and that everything should stay just how it has been for forever with no kinda regulation for developers to properly sell licenses to their IP.

It means you reason with yourself to make a situation seem either as less impactful on your life as it is, or to justify your reason for doing or thinking something.

I knew where this article was going before I even clicked it.

This... really isn't that bad a video.

The cloud is a bunch of servers. The cloud is essentially "dedicated servers" for whatever it is you are using it for.

Yeah... no.

...that's not how software development works, unfortunately. Maybe in the next-gen it'll be way easier to port like that, but those PCs you've been seeing are just dev kits with the right hardware in them. That, or an emulator for the hardware configuration.

1/10 for rehashing old and moot arguments.

They're webisodes. Practicaly anecdotes to the show. Handycam-ing is the point.

...and now I await for Microsoft to announce a similar approach for Xbox One cross-gen games. 'Cause this is sweet.

...basically.

The "riot" cheat? >> >>

The fun thing about anything fictional is that it doesn't necessarily have to fit within reality's constraints. So while you may think, "oh, well he's a kid. And this has been running for a decade, so he should be 20 now," that's not something obligatory. There's isn't any real sense of time in the series (as far as…

...I think that's all I needed to read.

The research is being funded by a bill set forth to the Senate. So, if there's any kind of link found within this research, it'd be easier to bring down the banhammer on violent video games.

1/10 will not read again.

...and again, all these commenters have no clue of effective marketing.
