Thanks for the tip! Here's one in return; businesses and publishers can refer to pretty much any form of media! Even the ones that aren't games! And what you described is licensing. Not selling. The publishers license their products to Gamestop to be sold to the customer. In return, Gamestop...

What? They can blame the business that figured out how to cut the publisher out of the "who do we give money to" equation. They can blame the customer who decides that 5 bucks off the game is worth not giving a cent to the people that made the game. You can say that publishers and developers...

Overheating a thousand times. To me, ME1 catered to the RPG crowd, while ME2 catered more towards the shooter crowd. Pretty much from the first mission on, I felt like I was playing a different game in ME2. Combat flow changed, going from something slower paced but more thought out, to a...

Eh. Everything of this sort has a sweet-spot, not too long, not too short. But the sweet spot does exist. And yeah, Live is a bad example but equally applicable to other online games with social features. But yeah, it probably is an agree to disagree thing, although you never countered the...

How is the current system any less exploitable? And if you're getting muted a significant percentage above the average, then you are very likely doing something wrong. It's not like they're saying "if you get reported 2 more times than other people you get auto-muted", its based on an average of...

Christ, people are seriously trying to justify over-priced games by saying that their a luxury item, so its okay? Everything except food is a luxury item, and even then you could argue against the necessity of spices, beverages except for water, and sweets. Yet, we still have laws preventing...

See, I have to disagree about the report system being more effective, because it would turn the mute button into a report button . Rather than having to go to the person's profile and a few menus to report them, which is both a hassle, and a waste on the resources needed to sort through the real...

Don't they already have something for people who mute everyone but their friends? I never use public chat just because I always have a party to join over Live so I can just talk to people I know, rather than the random people I don't know. Other than that, I don't really see anything wrong with...

Will there ever be a patch to allow the old crafting system? Cycling through a bunch of recipes is nowhere near as fun as the old system of, you know, crafting things.

If you watch a video of someone molesting a child to completion, then yes, you are guilty of encouragement. I'm not talking about getting a troll link, I mean seriously watching CP. By watching those videos, you validate the people that make them, and you're saying that you're okay with child...

Seriously? "They can take it as encouragement"? How the hell else are they supposed to take it? Again, please explain that one to me, because i'm sure whatever justification you can use for it must be something incredible.

How does it not encourage them? And this isn't even limited to CP, this is about free content in general. If you view a free video on youtube, if you download freeware from a site, or if you play a flash game, you're telling the creator that you were interested in what they put out there. I...

What? You didn't refute my point that viewing the content is the same as requesting it, but then you just turn around and act like viewing it is an innocent act? Please explain that to me.

Right, right. Because when some youtube poster gets 10,000 views for their retarded vlog, their first instinct is to wait patiently for someone to politely request another. Viewing free content is the same as requesting it. The videos are trophies to them. To them, viewing their trophies is...

I would rather just have better level design. Its really hard to find levels in games where everything just flows right, but without relying on quick time events or auto targeting or something. Best example is Act VI from the original Ninja Gaiden. After dying in it quite a few times and having...
