The open beta ended on the 24th, although they left the servers up for another two days. They shut them down for the wipe yesterday evening. Yes, it's a Bill Roper plot.

Wow, you folks have really been traumatized by Bill Roper. Maybe you should seek counseling.

No, Hollenshead said it WOULD be released this year. Blue misheard or misinterpreted what he said.

"But we're probably looking at this for next year, right? Not this year?"
TH: "Uhhhh, no we'll be out this year."

So I went ahead and registered the domain. It's parked for now until I can get WordPress up and running.

I felt this story is huge and interesting enough that it probably needs an entire site dedicated to just tracking the progress, and ultimate outcome. Tracking the list of games and films that were ripped off is going to be interesting.

In this case Epic is totally right though

They do include the patch notes when you log in, but as Bundy pointed out, some people like to read about patch notes before they install it.

if your annoyed, blame the pirates, its them who drove them to do this.

Nah, I'll blame those actually responsible for implementing retarded copy-protection schemes and pissing off most of their customers.
Both wrong. Blame the people willing to use the illegal versions.

The fact that whether or not an x1300 is "better" than an X700, X800, or X850 depends upon semantics. For example, an X1300 has only 4 pixel pipelines. An X700 have twice that many (8) as that, and an X850XT has four times as many (16). So, from a performance standpoint, an X1300 is certainly NOT better than an X700 or any of the X800 series cards.

It makes sense to those who have a brain and know how to use it. For the rest, I will spell it out:

By giving money to game companies that use DRM/copy-protection systems like this in their games, you are making them successful and encouraging them to continue the practice. So, to reverse the popular metaphor, you are feeding (financially supporting and rewarding) the hand (game companies) that bites you (includes restrictive DRM that prevents you from playing the game you bought).

Get it now?

That's a pretty fucking stupid. Raise your hand if you uninstall all of your software before doing a OS reinstall.....oh that's right no one does.

this is not making sense. why are we supporting PC gaming again? how come we're okay with spending thousands of dollars on dual core processors + 2GB of high quality RAM + a $500 graphic card to get a decent framerate when a $350 xbox 360 does the same thing smoothly?

As for JfC -- sorry, won't watch it. He screwed us with Deadwood, so why support him with his next project, only to have him flit to a shiny new toy a couple seasons in?
