Does it really matter? On-disc DLC is incredibly rare.

Waaaah waaah 200MB. Stop whining. These driver packages support a vast array of features. There is no "inefficient coding" involved. You guys would shit bricks if they trimmed them down and cut support for a bunch of shit.

Yeah, yeah, poor Curt Schilling. He still has a job at ESPN, which undoubtedly pays him an easy 100K, to sit and talk on TV for a few hours a night.

It's not as if the guy's gonna be on foodstamps for the rest of his life.

It's all relative. Him going back to what we would consider a generous salary is the equivalent to us ending up in a homeless shelter. Just think about what that would do to you and your family psychologically.

I don't believe this many people play this game, if they ever did.

Hey Alex Jones, how you doin bud?

Who the fuck is Alex Jones? And why is it so hard to believe that a corporation would lie about its sales? I know a lot of people that used to play WoW. I currently don't know anyone who does and they haven't for a long while now. And I certainly would not put it above Actiblizz to lie about this sort of thing.

Alex Jones is some conspiracy nutbag. Blizzard is rolling in cash, so unless they are flat out risking serious SEC bullshit, they gotta be getting the money somewhere, and it isn't going to have that kind of money with a small player base. Plus consider that they include Asia's numbers, which don't have the same monetization scheme. Years back somneone said Asia was 60% of their player base but only 6% of their revenue because the Chinese company that runs it takes all the cash.

You were one of the replacement referees weren't you?

Given the level of reason usually present here, I'm guessing we have more than one NFL replacement ref who is from Blue's.

Yeah, I find it so weird that people blame Curt criminally. He was a shitty businessman. There's no crime against that. There's no sign of any crime. We've had this discussion repeatedly, and some people keep saying "throw him in jail" or make accusations of coke and hookers, yet they haven't pointed to one tiny shred of Curt being anything other than a shitty businessman that never should have had a loan.

But none of that is criminal. Stupidity isn't illegal.

Yeah. Quite frankly it would have been more shocking if this investment had actually paid off. I'm just amazed at how many people act like something extremely shady must have happened.

A software startup? Risky. Gaming startup? Very risky. MMO? ULTRA risky, and EXPENSIVE. You don't have to burn your fat stacks on hookers and blow to make that type of project fail. Hell, even very skilled and competent teams can fail at that.

A baseball player with no real experience? Almost guaranteed to fail. It's like giving some candy to a two year old, telling them not to eat it, and getting mad at them when they eat it. The two year old is just being a two year old, you're the idiot for giving them the candy in the first place and expecting them to actually exceed their qualifications.

News Comments > Mists of Pandaria Sales Disappointing?

This doesn't mean much. Cataclysm was the first WoW expansion you could buy digitally, so retail was a much bigger deal. Now though, almost everyone is buying directly from Blizzard, digitally.

Stand in some bullshit line with smelly people, or push the button that gives you the game instantly? EZ choice. Unfortunately this means there is no reliable way to get sales numbers that are even remotely accurate for this title.

Minecraft works fine on Windows 8. Beyond that no one should give two fucks.

For now- they may implement licensing restrictions in the future so one day Mojang either does MS's certification process and passes the cost on to you or tells MS to piss off and all future releases of Minecraft won't work on Windows 8.

Patches slow down because they all wait on MS approval, indie titles get shut out, etc. etc..

And Windows XP was going to delete all my MP3s and only WMAs were going to be allowed. Still waiting on that one.

ueue times.... Eight years running and WoW STILL has queue times? 150 million dollars a month in revenue, and they can't be bothered to add some more infrastructure?

That's fucking ridiculous.

They don't need to add infrastructure, they already have a lot of ghost servers that need people. Transfers are the right move.

A shame this isn't doing better. One of the few MMOs to try something new in the character advancement department, and to stray from generic settings.
