That wasn't the last try. Whoever did this decided to change things up to have the picture be several copies (full size) of Jason Alexander: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/i...
That wasn't the only person the pic was changed to, either. There were pics of a cat, Teddy Roosevelt, Obama (which is sort of dangerous in of itself when you add that "sell...
I'd answer it this way: would you try that hardest mode of a particular game if there wasn't a way to brag to people that you actually completed the balls to the wall difficulty? Would you try a no-whatever playthrough if there wasn't an added incentive to show people that you survived everything?
Thing is, I think the additions actually ADD to the experience because it intices you to try different things in the games you enjoy, and you get rewarded for doing so,...
Have to be careful, though, of who you end up banning from N4G based solely on that (and we have enough topic that come up on this site that people don't think before posting or acting on as it is). That site that could post a top 10 like that could also be a creditable site that would otherwise get good stories, or it could be a site that needs the exposure and clicks to get into that threshold, and when it's hard to GET that exposure or anyone to actually read what you're postin...
The problem actually was that people believed that Sony knew that they had a security hole in their system, and chose to ignore it because since no one found it and no one chose to exploit it, why should they bother using resources to do anything about it. It was not a difficulty security hole to jump through, but it was seemly overlooked for so long.
Then, when the hole was found, they blamed the people for finding it, not themselves for leaving it there and choosing to be l...
So...just because someone CAN use it for piracy, everyone WILL?
You're saying that people are going into there being guilty until proven innocent. That's what the RIAA tried when they went after people who DLed music. Look what became of THAT!
Simple fact is that you can't do that because it paints the legit consumer as a thief because they want a feature (say, OtherOS or whatever) that's not, or no longer, inherently available on the PS3. Of ...
It IS true that Sony needs to get their heads out of their asses and stop doing stupid shit like throwing lawsuits all over the place every time they don't get their way.
But it's not like they are going to just kneel over and die just because some FUD told them they had to.
Sony faithful need to stop pretending that everything Sony does is a good thing and that everything they touch turns to gold in an instant, but at the same time, FUD articles need...
Is it funny, though, that most of these posts are more of this "this will just make the no-lifer WoW players have to go outside" as if the stereotype is the only people that would EVER play an MMO!
But God forbid we jailbreak a Sony console for ANY purpose!
I guess because this is WoW, that makes hacking and exploiting it okay to them!
Funny how N4G works, huh?
I'm glad that this got taken care of quickly, only two weeks into what is right now a good expansion despite some of the whiners that were going "OMG, Pandas in WoW"! Still trying to get a reason for a few of the unneeded nerfs to some guild perks, but at least they were on the ball about this.
But it's still funny. Reminds me somewhat about that ZG plague glitch that killed everyone because the debuff didn't wear off when someone left the instance. At l...
I know, right! If it's not sharing their view, it gets moderated beyond belief.
But if it does, you can get away with murder from it!
Makes a shit ton of sense, does it?
Says the person who trolls an internet message board!
So Jerry isn't allowed to ever take another acting role again just because his face is owned by Sony by some backwards logic?
ANYTHING will get abused by people. The thing is what to do about it. Do you let the actions of the few spoil the whole bunch, or do you find a way to make it so it can still have the good without encouraging the bad?
Thing is, there was a severe Vita issue around what Sony released on the PS Store about the PSP Classics that let to this. People wanted to have digital copies of PSP games when there were none, and Sony were on the "buy it twice" trip, leading to cons...
Wow!
So too many people on this site didn't even care about reading what this CFW was really going to do, huh? It was even on this site, and we're STILL acting like children (go look it up).
Seriously, is there ANYONE on this site who isn't blindly following a particular company to the point that they will cheer on anything they do? I don't care WHICH one it is, but good lord, we have people on the internet who should've never been taught...
Just as much as I would bet that there are too many people on this site that will just go "rah rah big corps to screw legit consumers" without even thinking or getting any consequence by the moderators of this site.
Stereotyping FTW, I guess.
From what people claim about PS3 fanboys "controlling the site", though, it should've by that logic alone, right?
Don't make assumptions if you're not ready to back them up!
So, I'm confused.
Did Amazon SAY they weren't going to sell the Wii U stuff on their site? Is there a reason they stated for doing so?
And does this poster on IGN have any proof to his theory?
We'll see in a few months if they go mandatory on such a system, though. We saw how Sony tried this, and it just became a selling point for shitty games while lazy devs with hyped titles never bothered.
Can we PLEASE stop using that term? As much as I disagree with the views of "everyone's a pirate" and blindly defending any company for whatever reason, that term is not only getting old to see, but there isn't such a thing. It's not even funny anymore (if it ever was).
Rob Foor is an idiot that should go play in traffic. Let's not give him any publicity that he's shouldn't have.
Piracy happens on the PC. Should they stop releasing games on the PC? Does that mean we have to condone draconian DRM like Ubisoft "always-on"?
Saying that "piracy will happen" doesn't mean that companies have to cower back the second they see it happen because it's ALWAYS going to happen no matter what you try to do. The thing is is that piracy is seen as the ultimate scapegoat so they can say "see, we told you so" and take away somethin...
Many of the people complaining about those games that haven't even come out yet, though, is a different story, which is what this article discusses. Many see that someone CHANGED something, or try something different, with their favorite franchise, and you get people freaking out before they even SEE or even play the game.
And thing is, they get so much hate for the game before it comes out that when it finally DOES come out, their hatred for whatever they changed blinds ...
