Retail is not going away. Sure it will probably drop to a fraction of its former strength in sales but there will always be a demand for physical copies, people like to own 'physical' things.

Your delusions know no bounds.

I prefer exploring to building,

Does exploring have any special feeling when you're just exploring randomly generated content? I would think not.

That's good, because I'm pretty sure I heard $30 as the price point.

I remember Dyack coming to my school in 2006, acting like Too Human was the next coming of Christ. The lead character modeler with him also seemed like a pompous ass.

Good riddance.

And the console version approaches...

it should be interesting when the global console crowds are added to the mix.

This franchise died when it suddenly required Steam, most ironic that its success was firmly grounded in it being primarily a superior 4x option compared to Steam's offerings.

No Steam shills, or other manufactured opinions entertained.

Funny, I haven't bought a Steamworks game knowingly in almost 2 years.

My recent Origin purchases should not count, as upon installation I was prompted to enter a Steamworks key, much to my surprise and disgust. You see half of Origins catalog are actual Steamworks games with no indication of the Steamworks requirement on the product page. =/

Steamworks has been integrated into almost all AAA titles recently released and in the foreseeable future by almost all publishers. Its client has become a bloated piece of software consuming several hundred megabytes of system RAM and slow to respond.

Steam was once a simple server browser that one needed for Counter-Strike, Team Fortress Classic and Half-Life. PC gamers did not need it to install and play a game by a different publisher. Steamworks now it is being forced down our throats by publishers, forced into activation on its service, forced to come between the user and his/her purchased subscribed game, forced to belong to a subscription service and to accept its user agreement or be forcefully locked out of previously purchased subscribed games on its service.

I say let it stay closed, the AH destroyed the game anyway.

Prince of Darkness was awesome even with the 80s uber cheese.

Is that the one where (spoiler) the 'heroes' keep getting these messages from the future about some major evil overrunning the earth, and they need to stop it. It leads them to a church with some kind of portal, they close it with the girl being trapped behind it and left behind in the devil's clutches, and then the final shot shows that the huge evil that overruns the world is actually that girl?

I watched that movie long ago and have often been wondering what it was called...

Carpenter Movies are nothing with out the music, and he did his own scores for all of his films. Love many of his movies, but he has had a few stinkers too. Most notably, Ghost of Mars and Vampires.

If you bought or sold something to do with one of these players, that transaction will be wiped from your existence as well.

Thankfully though, it looks like Blizzard is auditing where the duped gold went and applying temp suspensions to the accounts who received that gold, presumably to reverse the GAH/RMAH transactions. This was confirmed by a few posters who mentioned their accounts being suspended after selling their gems at the inflated rate (200M). Obviously there's no way to verify that (even Blizzard hasn't been clear about it), but maybe it'll provide some small comfort for the rest of us.

So the game looks exactly the same with DLC abilities, DLC weapon skins, DLC vehicles.........bargain bin for me, as those new DLC items don't appeal to me at all.

If someone is willing to pay a monthly sub, like you did, I fail to understand how buying something like ZEN in a game is really any different in the end.
