"No—at least not according to Unangst: "We are not intending to compete with Steam," he told me, "If anything, we want Steam to be even more successful—they've done great things for PC gamers in terms of having a single store.

"Over time do we want more developers to come over to our store and offer it in addition to Steam? Absolutely. Is competition good for people? Absolutely. But our goal right now isn't to do anything else other than support Steam and help it run great on Windows 10."


This man is not getting it. Supporting Steam does not mean just putting a few of your games up to sell and putting your own DRM Window's Live on it? Supporting steam would have been letting Steam handle the DRM, letting Steam Handle the multiplayer networking instead of the mess of Live.

Just going to crank out Expansions and spike it back up anyways. But I moved on to F2P mmo's with semi fair business models. I not only get to pick which MMO genre I want. But if I want to spend money, and if I do spend, I pick where it goes. Really, cannot beat that imo.

Does Germany require blood be removed from shooters? Or am I thinking of another country?

I remember them changing all the AI to robot skins for the UT series.


That was Half Life 1 with the robot replacement. Unreal still had Aliens. And they allow full gore video games now since they have changed laws to keep up with modern times. Requires an 18 or adult sticker on some of the worst games though. Only games with the Swastika are censored now. Example is the new Mortal Kombat is totally uncensored. Also like the new Wolfenstein, only had to only change Swastika's out and nothing else.

Played this a bit, as in once. Its a neat idea, but it boils down to World of Tanks on water. And I had enough of that the first time.

My first chance to go to any sort Con/trade show-event, having just moved to Germany months ago. I wanted to try to go to this but my wife talked me out of it. Not much point since its probably alot of games I do not care about. But I would have liked to go. Only a couple hours by train from here too.

BF4 has its own flight only maps too, Air superiority. So I would not be surprised this is a reskin attempt like hardline was. They seem to not bother with new engines much, or at least new amazing ones, it all seems reskinning.

Makes the most sense, just get yourself settled with some viewing and your set. I would think it would reduce the drive to leave the house to find it then. As mentioned it would level out or reduce.

Well must be great to be in one of the few US area's with competition. TWC owns massive amounts of NY. But being here having competition is not so rare, and is a right you enjoy

Internet, internet speed is one of the things I'm happier for in Europe. Steam downloads at a blazing 11.5 MB/sec. I get free cable TV of over 300+ World channels, BBC, Chinese mainland news etc. And we just added VoIP phone for an additional monthly charge, total of which comes to around $45 a month. With no rental fees and no cap. I dunno Muni-broadband is a lovely win when done right, I think. TWC was cool back when I lived there. But the $170 a month bill for it was bull of the highest level.

Thats a pretty ugly list of things. I'm learning the ropes of being employed in Germany atm. And one of the shocking things I have seen so far is one company that sells food, if you work there you are required to shop there. Company even goes so far as to hire Private investigators for such things.

But its also one of the most high wage paying employer's in the area. So take the good with the bad there.

I've seen first hand what the Contractor label can do to a person. I worked overnights full time for 40 hours a week. They had a contractor to wash the floors and that contractor Sub-Contracted to someone else, then they subcontracted to the actual person washing the floors.

He was not only required to do a decent job, but had no holidays, or nights off he was required to be there 5 hours a night and more if he was behind. He was only paid for 5per night even if he had to stay late or not. Its a brutal system and a really grey as hell way to employ people without employing them. Bloody Joke.

I had to decide how to trim back my Time Warner bill for my mother before I moved. Turns out Road Runner internet was only worth $10 off the bill for the HD tv and phone package they sold us.

My mother who has to have her 24/7 news for whatever reason needs the bundle. If we could Ala'Carte the channels would be super cheaper I'm sure. But knowing how bad they cheat people, they would raise the bill anyways.

I do not understand why. I've looked through Netflix's catalog and its really kinda crap. Maybe it is because I'm in Germany, but between Amazon, Maxdome, and Netflix I'm really starting to see the selections are bordering on terrible.

I streamed Fargo the series which was good over Netflix. But after that just there is ether nothing or its limited and moving in and out of rotation. Just leave me a damn catalog of movies/series that are sitting on a HDD somewhere and I can access on demand. That's something to pay monthly for.

Even if its not super scarry or something I'm interested in following. Watching MattPatt from Game Theory on YouTube try to unravel this games lore is totally worth it for me.

Derek has a less then stellar history in the older PC gaming community. I see why they let him have a voice, with his history with his own overreaching(at the time) space game. I will not listen to him however, his past is one he cannot run from, in my eyes.

In a cynical way its true, I can see that the game is like as they describe. But its GTA, its not like your going to do empire building of say Civ5 or super story centered play of say Dues Ex for example. Its GTA, if that's not your thing don't be a editorial jerk about it.
