I think it's probably more harsh to people that take everything PR people say as what they actually believe.
He's got a job to do, and that job involves saying sweet things to cameras. None of this is his personal opinion.
It really is. It's sad, really. The franchise has sat still for long enough to be gobbled up cynical publishers.
And in about two years' time? The inevitable "reboot".
Well, the news centers don't make money off games like they do pimping out their station to all and sundry. Plus...less people playing vidya = more people watching TV.
Maybe it's time they learned that WE are the news outlets now.
I'm still not completely sold on it, but then, i'm no expert on builds. It looks impressive for 500 dollars, but I know that it's gonna need upgrading pretty soon after arrival to play any of the recent games with high specs.
I just hope that it's easy enough to upgrade, and doesn't end up being a money sink, or it might make more sense just to buy a second PC..
I can do the same with my phone. It doesn't really matter what any of us call it, but it's going to compete with the console market, isn't it? It's a box that you can buy, plug a controller into, and play away.
It resembles a console. In that it's a box. That you can plug a controller into. And play away. But it's upgradable, like a PC. So we might as well call it a PConsole.
No, a steam PC with a gaming focus is a steam PC with a gaming focus. This box you plug into a TV and play with a controller is a console..
I like how they say "don't" rather than "can't".
It seems more like "Oh, we have the capability, but we promise not to listen in! Honest Injun!"
The biggest issue here is "how quickly will this issue be relaxed when they realise they basically have to ban everyone that plays it?"
If you've never cursed while playing a video game, raise your hand, Jesus.
It means that there is Xbox live gold, and you can't it
Yes, so did I. But if you can't laugh at yourself, what's the point?
It's a parody of the news on early adoption that's been going on this week.
Perhaps then, we should defer to the argument that's been raging for a little over 20 years? Games are just way too expensive as they are. Of course, they never bothered to cut costs because people were always willing to pay the absurdly high costs. A lot of work goes into games, which would account for why they are more expensive than a DVD, but the expenses given over to nonsense like publicity and cheap media stunts has become, to quote the oft used phrase, "too damn high"...
Giving little Billy 10 years in jail for downloading episodes of Naruto is going to make the problem a lot, lot worse..
Thank you, sir!
10 years? Many countries don't have that for murder.
Besides, big business doesn't make enough money from prison sentences like they do from lawsuits and fines.
I plan to have my Christmas festivities in Orgrimmar.
Exactly. Whoever would have thought that people enjoy having fun over feeling obliged to insert themselves into dreary social situations?
You make a good point! Prices of games in Eastern Europe and South America are apparently very steep, and don't match up with what people earn at all.
It's staggering that instead of doing anything about it, they just spend that money sharpening the anti-piracy stick instead.
True enough. It's almost commonplace for people to get e-mail services hacked these days, and nobody bats an eyelid.
