Yeah pretty much usage caps are the death knell of the service

Netflix is going to fight caps to the death.

You would think so but that's unfortunately incorrect. Netflix in fact has taken a very laid back stance, basically just issuing press statements. They don't lobby, they aren't making significant new partnerships beyond CDN and edge network placement. In fact I remember when Canada was going through that whole UBB thing and asked Netflix to get involved they basically said "we feel the marketplace will eventually force this issue with the cable/DSL providers". Netflix is starting to position itself as a content provider more than anything else.

Who the heck is buying this subscription service to keep it a float even this long? I would of thought it would already have gone the way of WebTV.

Why would they back them financially if they left the nest? Makes no sense.

*except maybe for those who paid extra for the buggy shit but as I said it's not gonna happen again... The Witcher 3 including all DLC (pre-order and CE and whatnot) will be mine for free. YAAAARRRR!

Other than 1 item, all of the DLC was always going to be free for the game. They said so a while ago. You're really that upset about the 1 useless virtual item?

Have you considered emailing the address they set up for your item instead of raging on a game forum about how you'll pirate their next game instead?

the amount of data that would need to be transferred would be trivial. laughably lower than just a few emails a day.

Gabe,
There's other ways to help that along instead of trying to squeeze money out of it. Such as a reputation meter or something. Someway you can vote on someone's profile how fun they are to play with. Of course you'll have people gaming that system voting you are a jerk just because they can, it would need some tweaking. The thing is, with the kick system in L4D games, its fairly easy to get rid of 1 bad apple on a team.

I hate to burst Randy's bubble but the only reason Duke was talked about all these years was because it was the biggest joke in the gaming industry. If Duke didn't hold the the vaporware crown for 14 years it would've just been another random fps.

That's it in a nutshell. Duke was nothing special. It was ridiculous even then. It's only because of it's lord of the vaporware title it became something of a meme that stuck around. People speak of the Beatles with fondess and reverence. They speak of Duke as a bad joke. It's clear that Randy simply does not "get it" anymore than any other pre-pubescent boy, so don't try and defend him and his asinine analogy or you don't get it either, Sho and PA.

I can see the connection. Both objects are overhyped*, underperforming* cult objects that should have long ago faded away and made room for better products.

*Full Disclosure: I fucking HATE the Beatles. For about a decade of my childhood, that is all my Dad would listen to. Burned out on them entirely and I can not view them objectively.
