I'm not sure how you can call Comcast late to the party as NBC was an early partner in Hulu.

Peacock is a streaming service, like CBS All Access, not just a partnership deal...that's why they state "late" as they are just about to launch it compared to the other networks.

I don't know. Partnering with Hulu because you see the promise, but not launching your own because you know your library consists of "we used to have Seinfeld" and reality reruns seems to check out.

If only the people blathering about "anti-competitive practices" were as passionate and ardent about digital privacy and personal digital security both commented and acted as ferociously as the complain.

As long as the DRM (or whatever form of copyright protection is in place) doesn't get in the way of playing the game, people don't care. But they care when they are forced to buy on an objectively inferior platform.

Thirdly, as an avid gamer for decades, who enjoys stories, questing and character development.
The idea of the protagonist always wearing a helm annoys me greatly. To the point I ALWAYS use, Hide Helm switches and mods in gaming if available.
If not, I don't wear helms choosing to lose the AC, DR and Buffs.

"In Japan, it is customary to eat chicken at Christmas," says the 30-something Japanese woman.

Sure, whatever, but KFC? Huuukk...I just threw up in my mouth a little. Seriously, the last time I had KFC was a couple of years ago and it was probably a decade before that the last time I tried it and it was disguting. I'm still undecided whether it was cat or something else.Fried chicken is a rarity for me but at least Popeyes is edible.

NDAs exist for a reason...

If they let this guy off with a slap in the wrist, they'll have people leaking stuff left and right.

It's about the punishment fitting the crime. He leaked a pic of a new map for a FREE game. Epic has lost exactly nothing. If anything he's probably made them money. What's appropriate for shoplifting in your opinion? Hanging?

They lost tens of millions in earned media views. That's quantifiable.

And he won't be sued for much. But if you don't enforce NDAs, why have them? So people are simply on the honor system?

Stop blaming the publishers or devs, and blame the dumbfucks who give them money. Seriously,they make a game where food rots. Then sell you a way to make your food not rot. Your armor needs repaired? Here buy this kit ! Why in the name of holy fuck would anyone do that?

Mentions of games from 2003 always give me flashbacks to when I worked at Game Stop.
I alphabetized that XIII on the shelves many many times.

Did you file it under T or X?

X of course, because the title is "XIII"

Everything you need to know about this.

Epic made over 3 billion last year, and yet their store is held together by popsicle sticks and glue. BTW Steam had preloading for Half-Life 2 as far back as 2004, during a time when most consoles only had physical media. For PC gamers, preloading has been a standard thing for the past 15 years until this year...

Australia must have some really easily impressionable people living there.

Not that at all, and the US and many other countries could stand to do the same. Shits out of control. And what were they thinking putting in marijuana? How stupid was that!

This site has zero ability to detect humor.

I'm hoping that this is a joke too...

Case in point.

And I am over here with Steam that will pre-load CP2077 and VTMB2 without issue. Just like I pre-loaded GTA V, Civ6, MK11 and others. It's calls a platform that is mature and built with forethought vs one rushed out. Marvel vs DCEU all over again.

It's not like Epic needs forethought. All they need to do is copy what Valve did and have preloading standard prior to launching their storefront. It's not rocket science. Just copy the competition.
