Israel can kvetch all it wants, but it will eventually be forced to end apartheid and allow arabs to become Israeli citizens. It's only a matter of time.

It's amazing how far Capcom and Konami have fallen in the last couple of generations. What they've done to their classic franchises turns my stomach.

A story like this could have been written a decade ago and it would have rang just as true then as it does now.

I'd rather Capcom not drag Strider through the mud like they've done to all of their other franchises, but I guess there's no stopping them.

It only took them two-and-a-half years.

Looking forward to the inevitable damage control.

Because sometimes gamers catch a break, and a nice thing actually happens to us.

I don't think Microsoft could have done more damage to Sega than Sega did to themselves. They went from being Nintendo's only rival to a generic third party publisher in less than a decade and they did it all by themselves.

I'm still waiting for the genre to catch up to what Bungie was doing in 1997 with Myth.

If 18 million dollars is a 'reasonable' figure, this industry deserves to be crushed under its own corpulence.

There's one problem for you pervs. Hutts are asexual.

I doubt that will stop Bioqueer from adding a romance option.

Screw Daytona USA, make a successor to Papyrus's Nascar Racing. Then allow us to "hack" a text file to remove the virtual restrictor plate so I can drive well over 190MPH on Talladega.

Screw the best arcade racer of all time?

Banning EA games from my library sounds more like a feature than a threat. It's sort of like a spam filter.

No, it's more like an enema.

These poor victims are being unfairly singled out by the fans who made them millionaires. Why should developers of their caliber be forced to take criticism and learn from their mistakes? They're rich so that automatically makes them right.

I can't really blame anyone for distancing themselves from the festering pit of narcissism and superficiality known as social media, even when it's not appropriate to do so.

Windows 8 is a matter of too many cooks in the kitchen adding their own flavor to a meal that would be better with less ingredients. I suppose that's how you secure your future at a massive company like Microsoft. If there isn't a place for you, carve a bogus niche and ride it out as long as possible.

Like I said, there's never any outcry from players when these things get shut down. Just people getting offended at the general principle.

The general principle is offensive because it's a contagion that has infected the industry as a whole. It's not a phenomenon that is localized to EA.

Planned obsolescence is just a step on the path to games-as-a-service. It's one of the many early symptoms of a terminal disease.

Wait...people are still playing D3? Why?

Boredom, desperation, justification for the $60 they wasted, naive hope that things will improve, lack of dignity, etc.

For all we know, this blogger might have been the fictional creation of an American or Israeli intelligence/security agency. I wouldn't put it past them to create a sockpuppet to stir up anti-Iran sentiment.
