Only ⅔ of Players Pay to Game

MCV cites a report by tracking firm Newzoo that says a full third of today's computer gamers do not pay anything to play, instead relying on free online games and playable demos for their gaming fix. This is not just restricted to PCs, as word is: "But Newzoo claims that its 30 per cent figure covers the entire gaming market, with punters both playing Flash games online for free as well as restricting their console gaming to free demos that can be downloaded straight to their machines."

Utterly ridiculous. I have seen far worse "personal attacks" on this website and you have not censored them. How many personal attacks have been aimed at Derek Smart alone that have been VERY personal, VERY vulgar, and VERY insulting?

Most of the treads involving Derek involve deleted posts. Contrary to your indignant complaint, I do not seek posts to "censor," your post was reported by multiple readers.

Creston was the one who introduced religion in the conversation where it had no purpose.

He simply mentioned the word "church."

Religious people are always forcing their beliefs upon us. All I said was that I laugh at people with imaginary friends. I did not insult him personally.

Okay, he mentioned church in a comment about the topic at hand, and you chose to imply that he is an idiot... who is forcing his beliefs on whom?

I take it Blue that you are very religious then and that is why you censored?

No, I am not, not that this would be any of your business. I deleted your post because you were going out of your way to cause a problem, and now you are arguing the point as if this isn't patently obvious.
