| As soon as they get caught up with the demand I'm buying one of those Raspberry Pi devices. 35 dollars for something you can use to decode HD video is just too cheap to pass up. |

Their response, "Piracy!" Wah Wah. They don't understand people will pay for a game that's good and WORTH the $60 they charge. Yeah that is some astounding stuff. Those PC scum that pirated their games so much, that it enabled their company parking lot to look like an exotic sports car dealership. |

Do you really think they'd place a reference to Doom, the videogame series, inside of a Doom game?? That'd kind of destroy the immersion and suspension of disbelief, don't you think? It'd just be stupid of them to do... But, a reference to Doom within a different id game? That makes perfect sense... Yeah who would do that? Oh wait... |

Hmm interesting. When you view the source for the page this is at the top:
<!-- February 28, 2012 --> <!-- Shadowy Figure- Raise Dead : Infinity Engine -->
<!-- For years, I clung to the memory of it. Then the memory of the memory. -->
<!-- And then... it returned. Better than it was before. -->
<!-- Pore over the tapestries and works of art hanging from our walls if you wish, Child of Bhaal... perhaps you will find a clue. But patience, ah... patience would reveal it all. --> Perhaps they have 'modernized' the Infinity Engine. |

| id really stepped in it with Rage. I'm still shocked that they actually put that out there in the shape it was in. And I don't want to hear any fanboy nonsense either. That was one sloppy release. Even the console versions suffer from that horrible texture pop-in, and it was supposedly designed for them... Don't get me started on the PC version. Open console, type idstudio, my ass... |

That said, you are aware that the only way to have privacy online is to not be online, right? If you don't believe that, and constitute it as a strawman, then well, there's no hope for you. Yes, only hope lies with those that argue in favor of corporations invading our privacy. |

When you buy an EA game, is it also okay for them to come in your house, while you're at work, and put all EA Games on their branded EA shelf? I think not.

Steam came out when Counter Strike and TFC were Valve's big games. They also did not scan my hard drive and add their software to it, I had the OPTION to enter in my HL1 cd key.

Techie714 © wrote on Feb 26, 2012, 16:34: So what the space portion of this game is not similar to EVE? Oh man that would suck, because they have so much potential here to make a game with similar mechanics as EVE. So does the game have any of the following?
1. Bounty Hunting other real players? 2. Ship building & selling (Blue prints, etc.) 3. Deep technical tree for for ships & addons 4. Space pirating other players & their loot Nothing like that at all. Talk about missed opportunities. They were recently asked if players would be able to upgrade their ships for new ones, and their response was something like: "It would interfere with all the quest scripts that take place on your ship, so no".

I also already hit burn out with this game.
Here is the problem (with MMO's in general). Beyond the setting, and story, there are no new ideas. Nothing brought to the table at all. You have WoW-style skill trees, you have dailies, warfronts (battleground), 4 man instances, and raids. It's all so cookie cutter. It's like MMO Paint by Numbers, these days.
Remember when MMO's used to actually come up with their own concepts? Now it's just 'copy the WoW formula and be done with it.'.
The one thing Swtor has that is original are the space shooter missions, but even those are uninspired. Here we have an MMO set in space, and the only space combat at all are just single player 'on-rails' shooting galleries. Where is the vision?
Oh and don't get me started on their customer support. It is non-existent. They outsourced all their support to a company in India, and most of the time when you actually get a response to a support ticket, it's in broken English, and has nothing to do with what your issue was. Their support staff has clearly never played the game, or possibly any games.

People who think KDE is on death watch because Kubuntu aren't funding, just really don't know the landscape.
Kubuntu has less users than Slackware, Arch, and Suse, and all of those have solid support for KDE.
Ubuntu isn't the only distro out there. |

I wanted to chime in here. We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing. We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours. And yes, we're certainly very excited about PC. A little surprising, but still good news. I wonder how much the GMG sale had to do with that? It's not surprising at all. The only people who would actually think this is surprising are people like Epic who blame others for their own shortcomings. |

Does this actually surprise anyone? I guess the real question is: Does this surprise anyone that has played a Dice game before.
It took them 2 years to put out a patch for 2142. |
