trooooooooooooooooll... you tyke :)
The news is that somebody tweeted something. If it were a rumour it'd taken the form of "Someone told me x." Although if we had a section called "Speculation"...
Exactly, like I said to my kid with his hand in the cookie jar: "In Saudi Arabia they cut off that hand for that, or your head. Why should I treat you differently? Thief."
Enter sanctimonious gaming bloggers: "RPG Genre Dying Because of Piracy"

Maybe Nomura has gone off Gackt and now favours George Galloway.
Ever tried Crisis core? Plays better than KH, I'd say.
No, it isn't true. The article mentioned the rumours, that's all. (Although stupidly it did so in one of the answers of the interviewee.)
"News article" ? Where will your mistreatment of the English language end? Actually, no, I didn't write an original news article today, but I'm inspired by you so let me give it a go:
My First News Article:

I can't find a cracked version of simcity. Doesn't mean EA makes more money.
If they want to get into this media centre business it's not altogether entirely stupid, though we've been waiting for that particular Messiah for quite a while now.
Analysis, evidence? That's a bit rich; he googled "simcity 2013 download." Maybe it's David Cage in disguise: during the day he revolutionizes the art of storytelling by inventing emotion (gosh, if only the Greeks'd thought of it first), but come nightfall he exposes shocking truths, such as that EA was right about something.
I never said the share button was integral to games, I suggested that social functions might be incorporated in some games according to a hypothetical line of reasoning (as has been revealed for Deep Down), and I suggested that the author of the article could've reasoned that the appearance of the button on the controller can be used as inductive evidence to argue that sony will be integrating social functionality heavily. As in: if the button wasn't there we wouldn't be certain t...
- That the button is there suggests that Sony and developers are serious about the kind of functions the button implies;
- which suggests a risk that such functions will be integral to some games in the future and a risk that Sony will make many attempts to persuade gamers to use them (which also squares with the fact that Sony and other companies can make money by recording everything gamers do);
- which would be annoying for gamers who like privacy.
Ah, it's a click-through list...
Story quality: WTF?

Ta.
Masochistic bollocks. DRM exists to sell you things you already own for the n-th time, to take away your right to sell your own things and to suggest that piracy is a problem, because every time someone implements DRM some moron like this will start on his holier-than-thou tirade and politicians will assume that where there is smoke there is fire and start funnelling money to people who do not own it.
"In either case, is ‘addiction’ a good thing? We’ll take a look in part two."
Screw you too.
You've identified the problem but presented an unsuitable solution. Fewer boobs implies fewer women, which isn't what was being advocated, or more amputees, which doesn't quite cut it either. A more fitting solution would be to demand smaller boobs, or––venturing into the abstract––less boobage.
Oh you people and your communities... There is no "we" in gaming; if you want boobs, call for boobs, if you want stronger women, call for those, there is really no reason to tell other people what they should ask for.
They're there, people who believe that, but they tend not to talk, it's a failing strategy for them, you see.
Edit: woah, all of it's gone. Frankly, I'm more offended by the censorship of just now than by someone's opinion. We could've had a good discussion.
RPGs need to be well written, that's all; has nothing to do with clichés, nor with competition in other genres.
