I'm guessing you don't live in Canada, if you did you'd hate him just on the basis that he's from Quebec and has Quebecker entitlement syndrome engraved in his DNA. No, what Fish needs to do is grow up and learn that outside of his safety bubble that "things happen, and actions have consequences." This is something that's oblivious to most people from that province. It's also oblivious to various people in large metro cities in Ontario.

Is this true for all the assholes on the internets that hate him and can't let it go either?

I think he knows better than to post things on random news websites nowadays. At least I hope so.

If you contributed and aren't listed, send them an email asking about it. Likely, they'll fix you right up.

The question is: Why do they expect it to sell so much? Is there some kind of scheduled self-destruction of Wiis and DVD players happening later this year? What could they possibly do to make this happen?

Again, all this hiring is probably for Michael Abrash's wearable computing project and not for a console.

I wouldn't be shocked if Valve is a division of Apple by year's end.

That would make us all happy, wouldn't it?

I doubt he's going to start selling the alpha this week, so you guys should stand down. There'll be plenty of time to grouse about the game after he forces you to give him money again.

what conclusion would you arrive at if you spent/wasted a 1/4 of your budget on these stupid measures, and your game was pirated 10x more than if you hadn't?

I really don't understand what you're trying to say. Are you thinking that playing a unlicensed copy of their game makes them stay awake nights trying to think of a way to please you?

I was just saying: Don't be a stowaway on the EA zeppelin, just let them crash and burn.

can't wait for the razor1911 version, it should be full of forward thinking innovations like unfucking the game to the point of it being playable.

msg to EA: i am going to steal this game because of this move, i don't even give a shit about the game really at this point i'm sure the rest of the game will be full of shit like this as well. simcity 4 is just fine for me. not pirating is not even an option at this point, because if you don't they'll think this megalomaniacal BS is working. infact i'm going to wardrive continuously upon release and download as many copies as i can, while installing it zero times, just so you can share in some of the fucking you're so willing to hand out to your paying customer base. hope you enjoy tracking down all the spoof'd IP's i hand your shady tracking systems. DIAF.

Why bother? just treat anything EA makes as poison from now on, and you'll still have too many games to play in one lifetime.

This is how Notch becomes the next Bobby Kotick.

How long do you guys think it will take for Bobby Kotick to start crowdsourcing Activision's games?

I mean, get the money up front then sell DLC on the back end... sounds like he just doubled Activision's profits.

Definitely not too young and been in IT for 30 years.
Personally I loved Rage and it worked out the box on my PC, but then I've an old Nvidia card and not a new ATI card where ATI screwed up on their driver releases. I fail to see how id can be blamed so much for a bad PC port when the biggest issues where caused by ATI releasing a driver with the wrong .dll's in it!
I'll repeat, the game was very playable and looked great on my PC from day of install - my rig is NOT a top of the range, in fact my Nvidia card I think is THE min spec card listed on the box! A couple of tweaks to the config file and unless I span 180 really fast I never saw any texture popping.

I have to second this. Obviously, the console ports came first this time and megatexturing is not as impressive as it will someday be, but the ATI driver thing was ATI's dog, not id's. Before release, Carmack complained a lot about the difficulty of wringing any kind of performance out of the (superior) hardware of a PC due to crappy software drivers. When Rage came out it was a perfect shitstorm of all the technical issues he'd been pointing out. It's ATI that doesn't care about PC gaming, not id.

I'm looking forward to the time when Bethesda uses the Rage engine for their next Fallout game instead of the "claymation engine" they use now.

Im still interested in that Bulgarian Fallout MMO. I mean it cant be any worse than World of Warcraft can it?

It Can't???

Obviously you haven't played some of the flop MMO's that didn't even deserve a launch.
(Horizons, Alganon, Matrix Online, Darkfall, Vanguard, Dark and Light, Tabula Rasa... to name a few off the top of my head)

Did you play any of these MMOs, or are you just good at reeling off lists of games considered declasse in the current market?

I really don't know why they are geeking out over the Fallout IP, when it's just a name. I'm sure Bethesda could just buy the Wasteland IP for a song and make the same game. Hell, they could just call it "Jimbob's Reactor Land" and no one would care. (or notice)

Then they could brag about what a favor they're doing their customers like they always do.

edit: or just call it "Rage Online" *snort*

Left 4 Minecraft

I'm thinking that they are struggling to get someone to notice.

y'all are a bunch of bitches. cryin' over "it ain't perfect" and "i can't get it to run at 60fps." performance game needs performance tuning, so stop yer cryin' and grab a text editor.

Did Derek Smart post a commment? Where did all this misplaced aggression come from?

I read this article right before going to play Glitch. It's all true. Glitch hasn't asked me for money yet, but they keep sending me emails to tell me when I've done/finished learning a skill.

It's like a virtual mom asking me to do virtual chores. Pretty soon, they'll be virtually hitting me up for money to buy some virtual lottery tickets.
