And I appreciate that the only way you can think to defend your painfully transparent article is to call me a fanboy. My comment was clear and rational in its criticism, and if you think it's insulting I suggest you check the title of your "opinion" piece. Your reply has only confirmed that you're as disingenuous of a person when you aren't writing inflammatory nonsense for the sake of web hits as you are when actively scheming . Handy piece of info, thank you.
What do you want, blood? Their firstborn? Yeah, it might bring in more subscribers, but it's also a free month of service for people who didn't have it. You keep any discounted shit you purchased during the trial, and during the trial you have access to the free stuff. It's not like you have any better idea to suggest, unless you were serious about the song, in which case you should have your head checked.
I don't know why I'm even giving a serious answ...
I believe your sarcasm radar is jammed ^^
Oooh, sounds cool. I've literally only made my first Steam purchase today, and I'm already starving for some of that controller support. It took me like an hour of reading and configuring, plus one extra piece of software to get mine working somewhat properly haha.
Yes, I know, I'm a noob and need to use KB and mouse.
@blumatt
I'm not angry at all (stop trying to play psychologist, you're not smart enough), I'm stating the way it should be. The word exclusives didn't need to be in there, it could just be games. There should never be a ratio of first party to third part like the Wii had. Why? Well, let's see, there are hundreds of game developers out there, and only one maker for any given console. If first party games make up (just to try a number on for size here) 25% of the...

Welcome to PS3 guys!
As far as the article, good read. I don't see Steam integration on consoles going too much farther in this generation, but who knows what the next round could bring.
Fun fact: He didn't say they should MAKE a console.
Back then they were like any normal console, with 3rd party exclusives far outnumbering the first party ones, which is the way it's supposed to be. That was all over with N64, and it never returned. Unless this new console focuses more on hardware and doesn't have wacky controls that every game is required to use, that probably won't change either.
This as they make moves to scrap the Wii altogether once the new console is announced. Way to show support.

Aside from the effective analogy Clintos brought up, I should mention that a lot of these hackers don't want to be hired as anyone's head of security. They live to break shit down, and their idea of fulfillment isn't being a corporate lackey. If they did take a position like that there is a strong likelihood that they would just use it to exploit even further. There is SOME sense to what you're saying, and in some situations it might be a good idea... But it's more risk...
*woops, wrong post
Dammit.... must.... resist....
*edit
Stealing info on the internet isn't like stealing an item from the store.... The info is all still there, there is nothing to buy back. Even if it did work that way, what hacker would stick his neck out trying to actually make that transaction? The whole thing is ridiculous on so many levels. Who buys into this nonsense?
If anyone on the type of forum being described in the linked NY Times linked in the article made such a proposition it was purely in jest, just to get ...
Oh hell yeah. I actually popped Abe's Oddysee for a few hours last year and it held up well. I'm definitely looking forward to this.
Dam, this is tempting me to go back. I really wanted to play XIV when they finally got it up to standards and released a PS3 version, but that time is looking far off if it comes at all.
Maybe I should just work my way through my current game queue instead... But this is sooo tempting.
@Edonus
I agree, the problem is we're trying to apply a new interface to an existing medium. I say it'll never work, there would need to be something built for it from the ground up. And it won't be video games, it'll be something more like the VR setup I suggested. Maybe at that point I'll be interested, but it still won't be video games, which naturally will progress much the way it has been since its inception, evolving the controller and diversifying the...
@Exgamer
Haha I know what you meant, I just couldn't resist.
Rated M indeed.
Oh, I should add "premature" to the list of things wrong with you and the article. It wasn't very long before you had to edit it because you realized that you went off totally half-cocked with misinformation, because assuming is easier than reading. So now as other people make your article a little more relevant, do you still think someone slamming it is doing so because they must be a fanboy? Wake the fuck up, I don't like the article because it's childish, unprofess...
