Right now I agree with you. I don't want used keys to be made legal so I can sell my Steam keys for $1. But, as I've said before, you can't assume that the prices right now will last forever. In a...

I'm not saying a ticket is the same as a receipt. I'm saying they serve essentially the same function. They are proof that you paid for something. Neither has any value at all apart from what they...

You won't get any disagreement from me that the publisher system sucks. Unfortunately it just seems like the reality at the moment and, while digital distribution has shaken things up in some ways...

Proof that you've paid for the right to watch the show/attend the event which is the service they're offering :). Basically it's a receipt.



A subscription MMO is a service. You pay them a...

This is an apples and oranges comparison. If you're buying a ticket for something it *is* a service and they have every right to set rules like this.



The "piracy isn't theft argument" is more...

Authors/developers suffer from lost sales even if they aren't directly earning royalties on each one. You can bet the sales figures will come up when they're trying to sell the rights to their next...

I want a Star Trek RPG kind of in the style of Fallout New Vegas (in Space!) you would be the captain of some kind of ship and have a crew, develop your skills and (most importantly) combat is not...

The used media market is a tricky issue. On the hand it definitely hurts content creators but I still believe that if I buy something I should have the right to re-sell it. With everything going...

Yeah, sorry, I didn't really think through all the implications. What a mess.

Ah, this kind of sucks. I do sort of enjoy Neverwinter despite having many issues with it. Sort of in the way you'd enjoy a movie as a guilty pleasure while realizing it really wasn't very good :). I...

Two minds on this:

I'm interested in what the great writers at Obsidian could do with MMO story-telling. At the same time, MMOs have a tendency to destroy small studios and the fact that this is...

Well that and the cost of shipping is often more than you can pay for games in Steam sales. I still buy lots of books and some CDs used. Plenty of people are still willing to sell them online for...

This game is quite good. I was skeptical that one of these browser based games could actually be good but this one is :) The only criticism I have is that you run out of moves way too quickly. Being...

I went with the 3 mages and a fighter as my standard party in DA:O and it works very well. Only slightly annoying thing I remember was having to go back and drag that rogue woman around empty...

So is Settlers 2 or Settlers 3 the better choice to start with? I've never played anything in the Settlers series. Also, any thoughts on "Imperialism 2"? It looks kind of like a primitive inspiration...

Good point. As a dedicated PC gamer, I'm actually hoping the next generation of consoles does well because I would hate to see mobile games become the industry standard. I'm sure some of them are...

As a Legends of Eisenwald Kickstarter backer I hope this will help them get enough money to actually finish the game. The early beta they released a few months ago looks very promising but they seem...

Sounds very cool and like my sort of game, let me know when you finish it. Supply chains were a limiting factor on the size of empires in history and something not enough games make use of. Another...

I don't know, the "realm divide" thing felt excessively arbitrary and "gamey" to me. I much prefer something like Paradox's infamy system where you do suffer increasing penalties to diplomacy if...

Put as succinctly as I can, when asking "Should we try to impose our belief on others?" I think the question should be "Can a logical case be made for allowing this to continue?" and obviously, "Are...

Really? Games on consoles get reduced to the $5-7 I often pick them up for a few months after release? I don't know, never having owned a console this might be true but
I was under impression that...

I actually did play it way back when it first came out but honestly don't remember much about it now other than that I didn't find it too terribly different from whatever main Civ was out at that...

I want to like this game. Mainly because I think the foundry system is really innovative but the combat just gets so boring after a while.They need more abilities, more class builds, more...

No real RPGs do it. People who think level scaling belongs in RPGs don't understand what an RPG is supposed to be. The whole point is that you start weak and become powerful over time. That's what...

It's all scheduled to AFAIK. No guarantees of course.
