I don't see any harm in having a donations button in the main menu of games. The problem with the games industry is that they wouldn't stop there. Remember when digital purchases were going to mean cheaper games for us? How about game boxes becoming smaller and those savings being passed onto the consumer? In-game advertisements continue to increase in presence but games are still just as expensive.
I like the idea but it would soon become tips or donations spammed everywhere in the game by the publisher and the developer wouldn't see any of it.

I love blizzard so much you guys, they can do no wrong in my books and youre all dumb.
This is consistent with the quality and content of his other posts. Quite a vivid imagination.
whats that? youll have to speak up, we cant hear you with your head so far up blizzards ass you apologist piece of scum. i think blizzard removed singleplayer, quick yifes to the postmobile, its time to defend their ridiculous actions!
dont mind yifes, hes a blizz fanboy. look at every sc2 topic and you will see him there defending everything blizz does because hes a chump just waiting to get burned.

There is a market for onlive so I wouldn't say it's pointless. If you live close to the servers and/or you play games where lag is not much of an issue and your ocmputer is shitty, it's worth a try.
the market thats counted using fingers and toes apparently.
no one knows what the real return rate is, we just know what steve told us in a press release and he has every reason to make shit up when his brand is taking a beating in the press.
like george will never finish the series, they will never finish this game.
we arent perfect, here are some 10 cent rubber cases we charge 30 bux for. amazing, just amazing what people will slurp down.
Fuck, you are a moron.
right back at you retard. yeah blizzard didnt just this week try to ram bullshit down gamers throats or something. they didnt remove many pc features already and require product activation. shit wait they did. actiblizzard will do whatever the community lets them get away with and judging by you, thats going to be quite a bit. im done owning you, enjoy your evening of lopping up koticks plate scraps.
Yifes wrote on Jul 15, 2010, 20:18:e will see how long that lasts. soon realid will be the only system, no lan support, product activation and console versions of blizzard games are probably right on the horizon. like this whole mess didnt start with actiblizzard trying to force a worthless feature on their user base.
you reinforce my view of reality that sheep are willing to kiss the corporate ass even when its paddling their own in return
I'll stop playing Blizzard games if that ever happens.
no you wont, youll be saying yes please maam, may i have more? can i pay monthly for it? you mean all of the stuff that might happen like what they tried not even a week ago? owned.

No. Functionality is exactly the same. You can either add people with their in game name, or you can add friends with their real id. It's the same in game.
we will see how long that lasts. soon realid will be the only system, no lan support, product activation and console versions of blizzard games are probably right on the horizon. like this whole mess didnt start with actiblizzard trying to force a worthless feature on their user base.
q[ You can see for yourself instead of making up imaginary shit and then bitching about it. You people make me lose faith in humanity. This is like explaining to an idiot that the sky is blue.
you reinforce my view of reality that sheep are willing to kiss the corporate ass even when its paddling their own in return.
as if they arent going to totally kill functionality for people that dont use their realid and facebook bs. they will get a worse experience. yeah that big deal they announced with them, that was just for fun 
Yifes wrote on Jul 15, 2010, 19:39:maybe not human rights , but the personal data rights
You're not fighting for personal data rights, since Real ID and facebook integration is purely optional. Getting so upset over something that you can easily avoid is utterly stupid.
yeah getting upset about a game company trying to make you part of their social networking experiment is really....wait why is a videogame game company trying to do that? the only utterly stupid thing here is the whole premise of this debacle.
maybe blizzard should make fucking computer games and let the rest of us worry about managing our identity on the internet and whether we want to use facebook or not.

Actually, Infinity Ward has said numerous times that Modern Warfare 2 is by far their most successful PC release of all time, and on PC alone they've sold millions of copies.
all they said was that it was outselling mw1 and they only said that because a journalist asked how the boycott was affecting them. in fact the only verifiable figures i can find point to the pc sales severely lagging, especially compared to consoles.
Only the controversial PC version of the game could be considered a disappointment, entering at only number five in the individual formats chart. The PC version accounted for just three per cent of overall sales, compared to 57 per cent for the 360 and 40 per cent for the PlayStation 3.
first few results on google even. no one has total pc platform sales for the whole period but looking at nov to february doesnt really look encouraging. face it, people did make a conscious decision to buy bc2 instead. every sale matters, even drama boycotters, people are fools to think otherwise. its cheap shitty tactic to try to shut down discussion.
Just like all the sales that were lost on Modern Warfare 2 over the dedicated servers...looks like that really hurt them.
it did actually, a lot of those people bought bad company 2. one stupid screenshot showing 50 players in a steamgroup doesnt mean shit. all retail sales were forced through steam too. pc sales were really low compared to consoles while bad company 2 got 2 mil.
people just say u dont matter, your sale doesnt matter when they want to shut you up and try to force you out of the conversation. every sale matters to these companies, budgets are out of control and they need to sell every copy they can.
"Bobby has always been passionate about games, and loves the video game industry."
funny how that isnt what bobby says.
Maryanne Lataif, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications at Activision Blizzard.
everything wrong with the videogame industry right there. senior vp made up title bullshit in charge of keeping her own job relevant.
So basically instead of dumping this on WoW community they will gently coerce and implement it with baby steps to "ease" it in on their customers?
I guess humans will accept anything as long as they are gradually conditioned into it. Wise choice Blizzard. I recommend next time you have an evil masterplan to not even announce it. Just do it, slowly, covertly.
yeah they will just force people to use it gradually over time by cutting off features one by one to those who do not use ShitID.

We really shouldn't pay too much attention to what PHDF is saying. If there's one person that's so completely detached from reality that he has the illusion that what he thinks is fact, it's PHDF.
Truly. I've been reading his comments multiple times due to all the quoting, and I keep getting stunned by it.
or maybe its because you have a beef with him because he criticized one of your previous posts. do you think we are all stupid or something? your little vendetta is transparent and just makes you look pathetically immature.

I find it chuckle-worthy that if you find the hysteria about this to be over-blown,
its not hysteria, you were given many valid reasons that werent related to being raped by a wow nerd but you just ignored them. if you dont think its a big deal then fine, feel free to post your address and name all over the wow forums or whatever.
youd think after that craigslist scam posted on here a few days ago that you would have learned though. free car at my place guys, i cant afford a tow and i just want it out of my sight! man youd be singing a different tune.

Didn't your mother teach you that if you don't have anything smart to say, don't say anything at all?
yeah, right after she taught me not to waste my life grinding out level 78 on alt #4 in The Latest MMO That Will Be Different From The Rest. mice in a maze.
many people still view WoW and other MMO's as some kind pastime that only the emotionally stunted play
perfectly legit view of mmo play considering how little the genre has evolved and how tread mill focused it is.
