He couched it as an experiment, but he believes he knows the outcome already.
They always think they do. People designing user experiences always believe that their way is the best because of some study or some experience or some focus group. That said, there's always novel approaches to handling things, which is why modding is great, because Valve is just one very small group of people and they can't have every idea. |

Convert that experience to M+KB, and you may as well replay HL2.
Granted that's what many people want. Ep3, HL3, whatever. O.K., but Valve did not make that game.
People have been wanting a 3 for over a decade.
Yes, but that's what people want, and the game supports modding, so people will make it, which is the entire point of what Robin Walker said |

I´m an avid FPS player, but I thought SiN was awful and a total letdown when it come out, and every time I tried to replay it.
It was poorly received then, so I don´t get what they think they are going to accomplish now, barring an impossible remake.
There's definitely some other stuff from that era that would be much better to remaster, like anything Lithtech. Shogo, Blood 2, NOLF, etc |

The fact these distros are still using mailing lists to decide things like this feels like they fell out of time though.
No one would ever accuse the Linux community of living in the future, let alone the present. |

| Remember when Epic was open and largely platform independent? Loot box money has changed the gaming landscape. It's like SaaS for games. Companies don't mind compromising decades of goodwill they've built up to suck it down and inflate their bottom line. Now Epic has a seat at a grander table and they've opened the anti-consumer tactic floodgates to stay there. They're turning into Creative Labs |

The first moments are clearly “better” on Epic, if only because the login prompt doesn’t look like a discolored win98 login.
Yes, but those same people don't know what win98 looks like, either. It's literally a login prompt. Something people have on desktops and mobile. |

Oh, okay. Are you realigning also because of lack of sales in mice, because people stopping buying Razer mice, because they only last 9 months?
Never had a problem with my Razer Naga Hex or my son's Razer keyboard. Used to prefer Logitech mice for handfeel, but Logitech's gaming mice went the wrong direction for me and the Naga Hex has a great handfeel(same reason I didn't like the original Boomslang, it had crappy handfeel being so flat and fat, and felt really cheap). |

| I can believe this is true because of how Valve does business, but I'm blown away that there is so little institutional control that a sure thing game was killed because of the fact they couldn't agree to use the Source engine. |

They had a beta, and the beta was the full game. Everyone knew what they are getting this was not a secret.
Lots of high profile gamers streamed the beta and a number of reviewers put up first impressions as well. Bethesda was also very clear since E3 as to exactly what kind of game it was going to be.
The debate has nothing to do with what kind of game it is. The debate has to do with the fact that a fully released and paid for game hit the shelves unplayable for many, and that those that requested a refund on this merit were denied. This is why Bethesda skipped Steam, which would have allowed a refund in this case.
The only other remedy at this point is a stop payment. Bethesda doesn't want to get hit with a ton of those, so perhaps they should institute a fair refund policy like what Valve has instituted with Steam |

but this report recalls that Diablo III was not without its own issues. The game launched with an online auction house that was very unpopular, eventually provoking a major post-release rework amid shakeups atop the development team. From Kotaku's account, it sounds like they are still a little shell-shocked from that misstep, which may be why they would slow-walk an announcement:...
...One of those people told me that the Diablo team wasn’t yet ready to commit to an announcement, as Diablo 4 has changed drastically over the past four years and may continue to change further. (We’ve heard it’s gone through at least two different iterations under different directors.)
Here's how to make this work. Take Diablo II and make it again but with differences for a more current gaming environment. People will eat it up. Oh wait, that's exactly what Path of Exile is and why it's so great, while Diablo III is a pile of shit.
Blizzard can't stop stepping on its own dick. Shitcan a game everyone wanted because "it didn't match quality standards", but release a game no one wants because, to Blizzard and Activision, microtransactions are more important than desirable gameplay(which is an important distinction because Path of Exile is microtransaction based but not at the sacrifice of what the customer wants). |

So he’s been arrested for something that might be vaguely child-exploitative, and hasn’t been charged with any crime. That’s some truly unimpressive reporting by that “news” channel.
There's really not much information, but other news sources have speculated that this type of arrest typically leads to production of child pornography charges. |

Arrested without charges?
I always thought, call me naive, that an arrest requires a warrant and a warrant requires a charge.... silly me, right?
It's a complex subject and varies from state to state but generally speaking, you can be held for up to 72 hours before prosecutors are forced to decide whether to charge/release you.
So can they release you on hour 73 and take you into custody again for 72 hours indefinitely? That seems ripe for exploitation...
The jurisprudence on the 4th amendment is quite clear. If they want to abuse their latitude, they will be sued and can potentially held criminally liable, and they risk the courts dismissing the charges with prejudice. |
