Looks like another back-door attack on computer gaming. "Knowing all the techniques with which we tried to bring about addiction..." You mean like making it entertaining--fun to play--like that?

what's being sold is exactly as it's being sold. It's exactly what the seller says it is. No misrepresentation at all.

Did some Goggling hoping to find an obituary of the article author having died in a drunk driving incident. No such luck. Though that doesn't mean it didn't happen...

$400 US to play Pong. Gee, it sounds awful tempting but I'm afraid I'll have to pass.

They delayed it 3 times so I don't think they wanted to delay it a 4th time. But it's not excuse for the deceptive gaslighting of gamers. [/quote

They shouldn't have announced the earlier release dates at all. The game wasn't remotely ready back in September and the developers knew it. But management was pulling a release date out of a hat. I'd be willing to bet Microsoft and Sony refusing to allow that level of trash onto their systems was the only thing stopping an October release that would have been way worse than what we got.

Well, cool, I guess, but I would have rather they released JUST the single player for a massive discount. I'm not interested at all in online RDR or GTA, or any other game where people can mess up my mostly single player experience.

I wonder if Dell will soon ask me to install some software spying on me and what and when and where I do and with whom just so that I can use my LC display?
It's time to show Facebook its place - this company must not be allowed to bully consumers.

There’s no bullying, it’s all in the End User License Agreement.

Okay, so I will never buy any Oculus model, thanks for being openly greedy/evil, Facebook.

As far as other VR systems, I have not really looked into any of them; does the Vive have the same kind of restrictions via Steam, or something? Honest question, this Oculus/Facebook thing is the first I've read of any VR system requiring some account to even work.

Like, fight each other? Wouldn't that not be cooperative anymore? Or is it 2vs2 against computer opponents?

Oh, your just getting hung up on the word coop.
Stop it.

El Presidente, I'm probably wrong about this again, but do you need an affiliate tag on that humble store link?

This looks really promising, though with a minimum listed requirement of a GTX 760 that probably knocks out half of the people I play TTS with.

I'm not sure how this will unseat TableTop Simulator? They already have a entrenched playerbase, workshop support, and massive library of DLC/mods.

The design interface looks light years beyond TTS...but that is something only a tiny percentage of users would ever actually access. Depending on the pricepoint, I might be tempted to pick up a copy just to play around with the design aspect.

TTS being common and functional doesn't mean it's that good. Thus far it has been the only real option, but there is plenty of room for a competitor that... actually competes. Dunno if that's this but it looks promising.

Nevermind, it seems it's windows only. I would bet a lot of the designers who might be tempted to use it use other platforms. So not a real competitor after all.

If I have to ask WTF a "Microsoft Gaming Flight" is, does that mean this isn't for me? Does this have anything to do with the MS flight sim, or is that Microsoft again pulling weird terminology out of their corporate ass to describe something like some sort of beta access level?

It took me longer than I want to admit to even figure out WTF they mean.. but it's corporate bullshit speak indeed.

or to sum it up

The Windows Gaming flight ring gives you access to specific betas and other tests, based on the current Windows build you're running.

My understanding is that if you are a Warcraft 3 vet, the servers are being shut down and you have to play this POS going forward.

edit- noticed some others also pointed this out. This is the true crime here.

Agreed. I bought the original games. I haven't played them for awhile so I don't know how much truth there is to this claim. But if it's true it's one of the most disrespectful aspects of the new release.

EDIT: It looks like you can still play your original Warcraft III games online if you only update your installed version to a specific patch version.
