Microsoft can't really force any of that on gamers or game developers. If a game developer doesn't want to use xbox live for the pc, they don't have to. It just means they can't release their app in the metro store, which I don't think core game developers want to do anyway.

The metro app store is what is closed, but the normal desktop interface is as free as it ever was, and Microsoft can't ever do anything about that, so says the US government. That&...

Nothing. MS only has restrictions on software through the metro store, and since the metro ui is optional, gamers will be fine. That is unless, game companies began developing exclusively for metro, which has a snowball's chance in hell of happening.

Um, I don't think so. I've never heard anyone complain that the Skyrim editor was limited, just buggy as hell.

Straight people aren't persecuted, gays are. They're still fighting for equality, and that's where the parades come in.

Hopefully, when gay people are fully accepted in the world, the parades and conventions won't be necessary, but right now they kind of are.

That's pathetic. EA once again begins the next generation by half-assing it.

You can scratch Blizzard off that list, unless you like totalitarian DRM.

I got a guest pass I'm never gonna use if you're interested.

I think people are way overestimating Apple's wealth, and way underestimating Sony's, even with their recent troubles.

EA and Nintendo aren't exactly affordable either.

Real PC gamers play with whatever the hell they want and don't let d-bags tell them what's "real."

Piracy. The only reason for making a single player game online only.

I just hope it's better then their new episodes.

They pioneered the always-online thing. Pretty much the worst kind there is.

I think Runescape might be the only choice you have with a rig like that, and I'm not positive about that.

The AI is not scripted, but the guy behind the controller knew before hand what he was going to do. So it was scripted, technically.

Hm, I thought it was a crossbow.

You can tell Microsoft and Sony are just mailing it in until they can announce their new consoles. At least mostly.

Not anymore, sadly.

The Diablo 3 game that was in development in the early 2000's was cancelled. The one that was released was developed from the ground up separately from that.

The sheep goes baa.

PC gamers bought D3, so I don't think they have as much of a problem with DRM as you'd think.
