I’d imagine a good parent would tell them something like “I know you don’t want to do this anymore, but a contract is like a promise. They would be disappointed if you didn’t keep your promise, and it would hurt their feelings. After this though, you can certainly choose not to do anymore” or whatever age appropriate…

Who determines the “standard”. I’ll tell you, the very people that bitch and moan on this site that they are entitled to be tipped no matter the level of serves they provide. They are the very people that yearly cheat on their taxes by not reporting all their income.

Crap, left it in airplane mode.

Except for that [wtf was it doing there?] handle. That thing broke off like a dissatisfied band member.

Come on, Disney. Let’s get dangerous.

Then why, pray tell, do publishers keep making the DLC if most people find it disgusting? It must sell and it must be profitable...otherwise the practice would stop.

Actually, a guy making a game on his own and becoming successful through the help of a community that enjoys his work shows that there is a God. You not enjoying something doesn’t automatically invalidate it nor does it spell the end of gaming. It doesn’t need a billion dollar budget to be justified.

“We generally accept that game developers should be paid for their work, right? Whether they’re working on coding the engine, scripting, modeling, level building, etc., nobody would expect a game developer to work for free if they feel their work is worth money, right?”

It’s not a choice. Just ask 99% of gay men. Why do people still think this?

no, this is a spoiler.

*Facepalm* .. I hope you guys really stop perpetuating that nonsense, it isn't broken and i see ZERO problems with it, so let's go over these so called "issues" you claim are plaguing Steam Greenlight.

i watch credits in a self gratifying way of showing my respect for the people who made the game and to reflect on the time i spent with the game. Also for the hidden gems it sometimes displays. Its always nice when creditcs are creative, especially the ones who let you play during them

So we can't have game with Buzz Aldrin, but it's OK to have one with Kim Kardashian?

we all play violent games here so it's okay

As much as I play games on my PC more than my other consoles, this joke really needs to die like it should have a year or so ago. Even PC gamer thinks so.

To be more specific, asshole teenagers (and assholes in general) are still assholes. This wouldn't have occurred to me at the age of 8, 12, 15, 19, etc. Shitty people are just shitty, and no amount of PC "everyone is inherently good" justification can fix that.

Not a chance. It isn't a real dog and rather then feeling concerned the first thought, something the article points out, is the robotic dog's reaction and the implications of such all-terrain tech in the future, particularly since it can be deployed en masse.

He kicks it to test its ability to stay upright.

he's kicking it to make sure it's working properly. it's designed to stabilize itself if it gets hit. if it can't stabilize itself then something isn't working properly.
