That's why the only sports title they even do on PC anymore is Tiger.

The next console generation is nearly as risky for the publishers as it is for the manufacturers. Think about launch titles - who wants to publish a game on a system that, heading up to the game's release date, only has a guaranteed install base consisting, at maximum, of the number of pre-ordered consoles?

It's only a problem if the publisher doesn't take a long view on it. Konami knew that MGS4 would sell regardless of initial installbase. They invested a shitload of time and money into that game, and I'm sure they've made a pretty profit on it by now. The problem is the American game companies take a short view on profit, but that's fine, because Japanese ones don't seem to care about that.

Just wait until the next console generation comes out ... i hate these corporate sleazeballs, i hate this constant marketing spin, i hate the majors.

Great news that a company would delay to fix some balance and bugs, rather than just shoving an unfinished product out the door.

Too bad the company is ubi. With the DRM this is going to be a $10 purchase, like settlers 7 was for me (and that thing annoys me with DRM, any momentary loss of connection and it stops me from playing).

So THQ is basically Relic and Volition. Doesn't look like a very promising future.

About time that people realised that valve are the google of gaming. Very uncool people.

Good luck making a complex game that'll work on the small screen.

What? The years of support and free content releases for their games? Sure GoW for the PC was crappy and they didn't do GoW 2 for the PC, but the vast majority of their time as a company they had solid support for PC gamers. The solid editor and mod integration? It is more like "We forget... and quickly!".

I swear most of the Epic haters have to be like 13.

Which is in and which is out?

When was the last swing? I think this is the FIRST swing. The first time consoles stood a chance next to PC gaming ever. So saying things 'swing'... heh you must be able to see the future.

Horde is going to get the Pandaren as a race. Alliance is going to get shafted yet again with another non-canon shitball race - I'm guessing some kind of two-legged crab person, or something equally gay.

Why not go protest the caps?

Unfortunately net neutrality is a hot topic and the lawmakers are making it possible for this to happen, not to mention it's not a simple topic.

Yes, but many of you are missing the point that these caps are just the tip of the iceberg. It's just starting, so they're easing in with large caps so people get used to the idea. Then they start to start to shrink them. They're going to do everything and anything they can get away with to make certain they can bleed you for as much as they can get away with it. Hell they do it alredy. A GIGABYTE of data costs them less than a nickel. You're already paying several 1000% markup and it's only going to get worse.

That is correct, they quoted me in Sept they would, I got another ISP 3x faster download, 4x faster upload and $20 cheaper with no-cap. A real fight is to get more competition in the ISP world where it's shrinking again, Al Fraken is fighting it now in congress (if you like him or not).

I rec'd a letter stating I have gone over it. The FAQ the letter pointed it made it clear. It started with 100,000 mp3's, 300,000 photo's yada yada. It ended with exactly this 20 SD movies or 10 HD movies. Being a streamer only (which I'm not, family of 4) I blow right past that. I told them this family is moving forward, will be using more and now has found a better ISP overall. Also dropped home lan line at that time. Total win for me, they can think this is good for them, but it may comeback to really bite their asses.

My point here is, this really affected me and I took action. Making a game require a persistent connection doesn't affect me. I won't say it doesn't someone else, but if you are like me imo if you have a solid connection this isn't that big of an issue. Limiting your bandwidth which is coming from many places right now to me seems like a bigger concern.

This isn't even a cause imo. Now if it had a real affect, if for say you truly didn't have a good internet connection. Yes I would then not buy it and let Blizzard know. Less then a week ago I left ATT over the 150 gig limit per month, it did affect me and I did what I had to, cancel.
