BFBC2 was on sale on Steam for $3 the other day, don't know if it's still going. Apparently, you have to link your Origin account and play through origin tho for MP. Kinda like a Steam-Ubi dealio. Loved that game tho, even though it's pretty dated. Great SP campaign.

If people realize that the 2nd Amendment is already moot, there's a chance it could get repealed.

I'd say there is basically 0% chance of that happening any time soon. Certainly not in my lifetime.

Why not? The Constitution is chock full of amendments now. It's never been put to a vote. Hold a referendum. Hell, it doesn't even need to be national, states could decide by vote. There would be more than a few that would likely make good gun control a reality.

@Maddog, Mexico and Brazil have massive corruption and weak institutions. That's why.

how do you feel about libraries

False equivalence. Libraries are bound by the fact that the value of a book is encapsulated in the media. You can't separate the two, whereas the digital download market has demonstrated that the media and the experience are two entirely different things.

This is why digital storefronts are so popular with publishers - because it annihilates the used games market.

You can't even tell Steam to start up in Invisible mode automatically.

This is incorrect. As long as you are set to invisible before Steam is closed down, on next launch it will set you to invisible automatically. I just tested it

SciFi setting is perfect for DLC'o'rama piecemeal deliveries, of course. They can just keep adding planet after planet until the udders are dry.

Good to know we can always count on you Mr. Ray of Sunshine!

I don't think Let's Plays should be allowed on these major sites (unless the company specifically allows it). It's like allowing someone to upload a movie to on Youtube and it's ok because they provide some commentary periodically. Gameplay is only one part of a game's value but that's the only part that you miss out on from watching a Let's Play.

I agree, but most devs/pubs encourage it as a form of free advertising. Nintendo is the only company I can think of that actively fights against this sort of thing, and people hate them for it, but it's probably necessary in order to maintain all the same IP rights they have now. Streaming clearly does not fall under fair use, and it makes you wonder if allowing it might set precedent for future changes in related laws that result in companies losing control of their properties.

As long as they also ban black people for using the Nword non stop.

Or is that racism in our completely bass ackwards lefty SJW wasteland of a culture.
