yeah, totally, it's a joke.
the courts have basically stated that the corporations profits are more important than people's rights.
they can have their teams of lawyers and you'll have nothing.
you need gold to use it, but it also comes with its own separate subscription fee as well.
how many of these gold only services need their own separate sub anyway?
most of them isn't it?
not that it matters to me, most of these services are only available in the us anyway.
oh, i so want one of those.
yeah, zeksta, there are publishers doing worse to their customers, does that mean this should be overlooked?
what does activision do that compares to the atrocities of gaddafi?
should we ignore what the likes of ea and activision do because there are dictators murdering their own people, and that's so much worse right?
furthermore, this article was about what valve did, what purpose would it serve bringing up what other publishers are doing?
he doesn't make suggestions he just tries to predict?
bullshit.

and valve are not greedy and are superproductive? o_O
that shows he's not only a lying sack of shit he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about either.
valve prevent the perfe...
yeah, the gyroscope works better than a second analog control, that's why so many ps3 fps use it, right?
more likely is they wanted to save a few yen and went cheap.
for somebody calling themself the people's champ, you certainly seem to be towing the corporate line against the people.
anyway, in reply.
yeah you could refuse, but that would mean you don't get to use other features advertised as part of the product.
bullshit.
no license agreement in the world supercedes the law, not even your precious sony's.
if the law states that we have the right to access features advertised as being part of the product, their license agreement that says they can remove those features isn't worth shit.
it makes me sick, all the cries of "it's only other os, who even uses it"
what a short sighted and irresponsible attitude.
what about next time when sony remove a feature you do care about, say they lock off the usb slots because of that plug in hackers use, or if people figure out a way to transfer hacks over the messaging system then they lock off all player to player communication.
but then it would matter right? because then it's...
why do people always think that some license agreement or terms of service lets them do whatever the hell they want.
if we have a right to to access the features that were advertised as being part of that product then no user agreement in the world will let them violate our rights like that.
the law > any license agreement.
law trumps corporate mumbo jumbo.
our rights hit license agreements weak point for massive damage.
you get the...
further proof, if it was even needed, that drm is just wrong.
this is just one of the reasons you should not buy titles that include this kind of oppressive drm.
show the publishers that this will cost them sales and like all drm won't stop piracy.
apple don't produce content, they wouldn't buy epic.
unless of course they were planning on getting into the content business.
god help us all if that happens
for games with online multiplayer modes i think it is essential to get some large scale testing done, the kind of testing that just can't be done in house.
so if sony did make a movie based on geohotz, would they portray him as the lone hero standing up to the big faceless corporation? or the evil hacker out to destroy the little family run sony business by any means necessary?
seriously?
why do people keep taking notice of what this douchebag says?
the day after you die, that's when you're too old to carry on gaming.
can't wait.
suddenly i have an urge to find out exactly what this adventure time thing is.
it would be nice if nintendo weren't too frakking cheap to make sure their next home console will actually play audio cds this time,at least, dvds would be nice too, but at least let the thing play the nearly thirty year old, but still widely used, format
seriously, how much would it have cost to allow the wii to play cds?
so if they could not skimp on what should be a basic function like that next time, that would be cool.
why are you so angry at the guy suing?
if sony did all they were legally obliged to do to protect it's customers information then this guy will lose, he wont be able to afford the teams of lawyers to find any legal loopholes or tricks like sony will.
if they didn't do enough to protect the information though, then he has a case, though sony could still use their teams of lawyers and the aforementioned loopholes and tricks to cheat their way to a victory.
