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. |

That's fucking ridiculous.

| $100 is not much to ask. It's a good number in fact, to keep the signal-to-noise ratio acceptable while not burdening anyone. I'm a broke ass developer myself and I have no problem with this. This smells like people without a clue getting offended on someone elses behalf. |

maybe wouldn't be a problem if their password system accepted the full range of ASCII symbols and not just keyboard typable symbols....
Is there a maximum length for GW2 passwords? You can substitute complexity for length and it becomes equally hard to brute force, provided you aren't using a password susceptible to dictionary attacks.
But as someone else said, that's irrelevant. This was the same thing that gets WoW users. They use the same email and password on some other site, which is far less secure, and then they just run through the leaked login/PW combinations. |

EQ kept me entertained for years, and EQ2 has a lot going for it even today. I can't think of another MMO with the amount of interesting content and exploration that EQ and to a greater extent EQ2 have today. In EQ2 you have to turn off your XP gain and spend ages at each level range to see and do all there is.
It may not have ever had the numbers of WoW, but in my mind EQ2 is the far superior product for anyone who loves the most fundamental attribute of an MMORPG: Exploring a world with other people.
MMORPG developers today are too busy wringing their hands over what magic combination of gameplay elements to steal from other MMOs to make the latest greatest one. But it's not that easy. You have to have the fundamental elements like an engrossing, spacious, and memorable world.
I remember the first time I wandered around Greater Faydark in EverQuest. It seemed endless, even though it was microscopic compared to some of the worlds of today. There was a sense of wonder, what is out there? What trouble can I get in?
Now MMORPGs are just a big math game. And that extends outside of gameplay to the actual development as well. Polls, metrics, blah blah blah. There is no wonder left. The slippery slope of nerfs and convenience features has eaten away all the meat on the bone. Online worlds no longer represent the ages of wonder of our own world, they represent today's world: GPS, cell phones, computers, and mindless automatons masquerading as human beings.
The reality is that an online world without all the Retard-Friendly features will never happen again. |

I think we can say that subscription based model is "officially dead".
Not so much dead as currently full. No one wants to shell out for more than one MMO a month, and millions of people, a huge chunk of the MMO market, are still paying for WoW.
A shitty MMO or an MMO designed to keep people playing for only a month or two before they run out of things to do will never be able to charge a monthly fee and expect runaway success. But if a true WoW successor came along at some point, they could get away with it.
Everyone else will just have to be content with selling aviator sunglasses and boxing gloves in their cash shop. |

Interesting bit of information from there regarding how much they make from their PC versions:
Burk got back to us soon after the interview to say that in the last full fiscal year PCs made up 7% of revenue, and in the last quarter it's been 12%.
I wonder why they'd invest time on PC ports at all... |
