In fact, it intends to be a PC for dumb people. It gathers several entertainment functions in one place, oh, and it plays games. They don't even emphasize the games anymore, and there are no...

They think very highly of themselves, to ask for so much money. One would think it's some very well known developer or game serries. But I barely heard about it - am I missing something ? I doubt it...

Maybe it's sloppy coding ? "I don't have to be efficient, people have fast computers these days."

STEAM has become a MMO. It was already online-only, now it uses dirty tactics and psychological tricks to keep you glued. The number of STEAM fanboys who refuse to get games from anywhere else will...

Every annoyed gamer means extra profit for Kickstarter games and GoG. No, this isn't why many of these indie games try to get on Steam. Do I really have to explain the logic gap ? Steam DRM creates a...

No. 10 chars

Just because something is a "design choice" doesn't mean it can't be crap. Just because something is a satire doesn't mean it can't be crap. By the way, the director of Starship Troopers hasn't...

The analogy between a (tech) support employee and a mechanic is a very bad one. Support staff is fired for not acting according to the script. They have to go through every single point of the...

Maybe instead of nominating moderators we could place beehive fences ? If it works for African-American Elephants, it should work for trolls....

Guess what, AOL is an awful company and it's still very succesful. "Criticism of AOL" has its own wikipedia article, but AOL gets away with that.

If Berzee is assigned additional moderator duties, he may stop posting his amusing and creative stories and threads. I would prefer him writing stories on the front page.

If this would be putting...

I think the only way to make Ubisoft reconsider is to hit their bottom line, not talk.
- stop buying games from them. Bonus points for making a forum thread about that, because it causes lost sales...

Wait, there's more !

Profit-driven healthcare has serious issues. Big pharma doesn't care about healing people as long as current drugs are profitable. Pharmaceutical industry doesn't put much effort into researching...

That's the difference between playing face to face and country vs country. People are usually more pleasant in person.

Some people do that, and the snarky term for it is "job security".

Squirrel, if you're an engineer, don't you take pride in being a good...

I don't think location-based gaming will take off, not on a big scale. The reason is that it would fuel racial hatred and nationalism. Internet makes people mostly anonymous, and they feel they can...

Or make each subsequent penalty higher. First penalty - 3, second - 6, third - 9, fourth - 12...

80% instanced... so it's basically an ARPG with the added benefit of forcing people to use a central server and pay for subscription.

Someone in the forum thread claimed you can get piles of money (over 270) by approving everyone as fast as possible, rejecting only obviously wrong people to save time. I don't know if it's still the...

Fallout 1 - "Eclissi (Ecplipse)", a short story by Lino Aldani. Quite similar premise.
"The Girls and Nugent Miller", a hilarious short story by Robert Sheckley. A man...

GOG ? Locked in ? With no DRM ?

When you lower the bar, don't think all your players will suddenly start "getting it". Instead, the game appears approachable to even dumber players. So it's only natural MORE players start...

No, because it's barely a game. "Animated movie" is a more accurate description. If I watch "Argo" on my computer instead of DVD, it doesn't make it a game either.

In this piece of software,...
