I find your assumption flawed, you're assuming they had enough capacity to meet any reasonable demand at all, let alone whatever numbers you're thinking of.

Too late, the damage is already done. If you have always on DRM you either have a good launch or you get remembered forever as an example of why this doesn't work.

The thing people remember most about D3 is error=37 and the queues.

In this first-person adventure featuring intelligent design

Why do they look like they have Downs? Is this based off the shitty Michael Bay turtles movie? Is that why they look stupid? Just making me hate him even more at this point.

So it might be about these things. I expected DXHR to cover the formation of the NSF actually.

Same here. DXHR was quite good, but the gameworld and narrative felt only tangentially related to that of DX1. Sure, there were a few throw away name drops to Joseph Manderley here, Illuminati there, but if you got rid of those token references, the game would be pretty unrecognizable as DX. That isn't necessarily a bad thing: the game stood pretty well on its own, aside from the fact that the story starts promising but quickly goes no where interesting in the second act, and then falls apart by the end (zombies? really?). But really, DXHR was a Deus Ex game primarily because of it's game mechanic similarities, not because it meshed well with the feel of the original game.

I'm trying to catch up on the series but they release too damn fast. Just finished Brotherhood a week ago, tried Revelations for an hour and...ugh. Don't know if it was the quality of the game or the fact I had just finished the previous one but I couldn't last more than an hour. Back to Skyrim.

Haven't they milked enough of Assassins Creed already?

Don't be so down, guys. It could be every bit as good as the first Mortal Kombat.

And alienating a segment of your audience in favor of one with less money to spend on the hobby makes marketing sense... how?

There's no reason after 3 months of training that you should HAVE to pay a monthly fee. I pay a monthly fee because I don't log in often enough right now to actually make ISKs. In fact, I lose ISKs because of skill book costs. But if I were to log in I could pay for my sub in 20 hours of running missions or mining. 20 hours a month to avoid a monthly fee isn't a huge investment.

Heh, true, but you're saying that your time is worth $0.70 per hour.

I suffered through the learn to learn bullshit. As for the rest, I think you are a bit of an elitist and/or are way better than average at the game and also live in fantasy land where everything is perfect for everyone.

Also EVE is already essentially free to play once you've got some income. You can buy game-time with in-game currency!

I've played for several years and never had enough money for that.
As for being able to be effective quickly, I call bullshit on that. Unless the game dramatically changed since I played. Back when I played, you had to train for months before you could do anything productive at all. And if you did something well, it was that ONLY thing, nothing else. And you had to focus only on that or else you were severly gimping yourself. Got boring quick.
