Blue, why do you never - or rarely - show GMG sales. I'd say that most people round here are probably way more into GMG than Gamefly, et al.

Ooh, maybe a Mad Max meets Interstate 76. Here's hoping!
That'd be sweet! Regardless, I love Tom Hardy, but I don't really see him as the new Mad Max. And who would play the Goose? Love the Goose!!!

I doubt Microsoft is going to abandoned DirectX after how man years of trying to develop it as a viable alternative to OpenGL. They aren't going to just dump it unless something arguably better is coming out of this.
I can't see them getting rid of DirectX without having something that replace that functionality completely with tight access to the hardware. My guess is that since GPUS are becoming general purpose processors now is that MS will probably have a API that strongly favors that new paradigm. It will probably be a iteration on DirectCompute and less on fixed pipelines/render paths.
^
This. MS foguht long and hard to make this universally accepted and it's a good thing. How soon we forget the bad ol' days of trying to get games running under all manner of different APIs and libraries. In fact, it would behoove MS to drop the Xbox line, focus on PC gaming and DirectX to maintain their dominance in this regard. Hell, they should have done that from the get-go.

I'd call this a temporary respite for AMD. It's up to them to really get the rest of the consumer market fired up and buying their products after this or it's over.

Not buying this generation won't matter. Where it will show is when the next wave of consoles hit the shelves. If MS keeps jacking up their prices (this alone increases my cost from $100 a year to $180, if I choose to remain subscribed), and if many of the 720 rumors prove to be true, they're going to shed customers like mad.
Again, I say this is the last generation of consoles for a bunch of reasons but it's pretty much guaranteed this is it for MS. MS shareholders have been complaining long and loud about MS' entertainment shenanigans which are nothing but constant, big money losers. Rest of the company does great, but all this stuff is just a money sink. They were willing to give a s hot, but it's pretty much over at this point. It's pretty much over but the crying at this point.

Whilst the game itself doesn't interest me, the "DRM-free, microtransaction-free" is a great way, nay, the best way, to successfully do a KS IMO. Good luck to them.

Supporters of defaulting said taxpayers shouldn't be forced to pay for the 38 Studios debacle. Rep. Karen MacBeth, D-Cumberland and a sponsor of one of the bills, said insurance on the bond will ensure bond holders get paid.
"The state of Rhode Island cannot afford to put this burden on the backs of the taxpayers," MacBeth told the committee. "Have the insurance company pay the bill. This is why we have insurance. The insurance company understood the risk. Now let them pay.
And this is why insurance is a joke. What happens if they do this? Then the rates go up for everyone so it's really no different then the taxpayers paying for it, and they'll end up actually paying more.
Regardless of what they do with this, they still need to nail Kurt and the other execs to the wall for it! Sue them for everything they have.

Props to them for being honest. Even with the initial port they admitted it wouldn't be good because they've never dealt with it before. And that they have respect enough for their customers to try and do better is A-OK!

Firing people to ensure the best games for players eh? Yeah. Sure. Substitute "products" for "games", "customers" for "gamers" and you get something very close to what one of my company's VPs said Wednesday when about 50 people got laid off here. Thankfully, I dodged the bullet, again (been dodging them for about 10 years now..). It's just standard HR rhetoric, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the actual reasons for the reductions.
Yes, and everyone knows it. That's what makes it so fucking offensive. Just have some stones and say it, 'You're canned. Sorry, sport but thems the breaks.' I remember when I was "rightsized" once. Similar deal where they decided to fold up our office. At one point one the HR people is beating around the bush for at least 5 minutes literally trying to couch this before someone said, 'Just fucking spit it out already, we're canned right?' And she still proceeded to lay the HR BS on us at which point most of us just got up and walked out.

*stuff*
Cheap labour isn't as productive as well paid labour because there's zero incentive to do an iota's more work than necessary. Big business always loves to crow long and lough that's there's massive shortages of skilled workers in XYZ field and it's simply untrue. It's not even close to being true. It's simply a cheap labour tactic and that's all. It only ever benefits those at the top. And it actually hurts domestic economies. Now - at least in Canada - even the banks are coming out against the conservative government calling them on their bullshit. And when the banks are coming out for that you know things are seriously wrong.
Skilled labour gap exaggerated, BMO says
Going behind Canada's supposed skills shortage
And what's true for us is doubly so for you guys. It's not that Americans won't do the menial work, they just don't want to do it for slave wages. There's a MASSIVE difference between minimum wage and a living wage. And in most places in NA right now a living wage means between $15-$20 per hour. So you see how far behind the times most states/provinces are.

Maybe you have to for some strange reason, but at the rare times my internet goes down I don't have ANY problem playing my games. And where is this so-called information they take being used? I've NEVER been targeted or spammed by Valve or any third parties related to them. Even the hardware surveys are voluntary. Jesus, you guys really need to take off the tinfoil hats and step outside for some sunshine and fresh air. Steam is not DRM, it's a content delivery system.

Pfft, typical. This is why it behooves people to know the law. It never ceases to boggle my mind when I see people show up in court and plead guilty on a ticket they can easily beat. My last one in court I had quashed because it was issued after the statute of limitations had expired on it - they only have 75 days to issue a court date from time of the alleged infraction. Prosecutor kept trying to tell me I *had* to either plead guilty or not guilty, and of course it was in my best interest to plead guilty to a reduced fine  I just chuckled and said 'Let's see what the judge has to say about that.' Got up, stated the law, judge nods and quashes the charge. Done.
Saw this on teh Youtube and it's really damn clever actually. The guy has a card printed asserting his rights that he hands over with his license. All the info for the card he uses in the About column.
