    GOG Returning "To Its Roots" After Regional Pricing Backlash

    Please show me Min wage in equal job with your tips (as tips aren't really a thing over here). This would be a number that interests me. Also get 2 cities in the "top 10 most expensive places to live in the world". Its our only strong point, and its not something to gloat about -_- Edit...

    Origin May Ban Early Titanfall Players After All

    He said yes to players getting the game early. Not yes to people who modify the game for early access. Terrible and misleading title. There is no "after all", this is a completely different illegitiment method to play early.

    New BlazBlue Skips Xbox 360, Dev Says It'd be "An Inferior Version"

    Why didn't they split it over multiple discs? Other developers did this for multiple games. Would splitting it over multiple discs affect quality that much? I wouldn't expect it to as the data doesn't change but rather the disc would need to be switched or installed which would be the only major...

    11-Year Old Stabbed to Death Over Dota Hack Dispute in the Philippines

    This article seems poorly written or worded. Maybe both. My GF is from the Philippines, they are pretty serious about their games over there and game cafe's are pretty dam big. This is saddening but not hugely surprising. When I get annoyed at games I just kick my computer. Or smash...

    47% of Australian Gamers Are Female

    Just because they don't play triple A games doesn't mean they aren't a gamer. This data is actually pretty valuable to Triple A publishers. It tells them to change their business model and target audience and where they produce their games, which they are doing. Go figure.

    Irrational Games to Close After BioShock Infinite DLC - Update

    I'm pretty sure if they are making a new studio it means the current studio is closing. So yes, Irrational Games is closing as it will cease to exist. Not that it makes much sense given the studio was doing poorly. Why not split into two separate teams in which both develop unique games...

    EA CCO Says SimCity, Battlefield 4 Launches Weren't That Bad

    This many knows how to spin issues with words, his a genius. I am legitimately impressed with the wording he selected to make his point.

    Crocodiles, Alligators Able to Climb Trees

    I swear I've seen something on this a number of years ago of our Aussie crocs in trees.... How old is the study? Did they read other studies first? O.o Only the aussie ones. Drop-Bears and Drop-Crocs.

    Report: Nintendo Founding Family Seeking to Sell Company Shares

    Can't report on stuff like that, it doesn't stir up enough bad press.

    Updated: Microsoft Currently Trying to Track and Identify Xbox One Info Leaker

    Thats not laughable, sounds pretty reasonable actually. If you are privy to information not available to the public and are bound by contracts/agreements to not release the information, regardless of it coming out in the future or not doesn't matter, you cannot release that information.

    GTA Online Class Action Lawsuit Dismissed

    The advertisement on the Case for the online is much larger and more prominent then that of the warning that it might not even exist. Judgement seems very meh. The advertisement was there, the warning was hidden. This judgement feels as though its telling devs "you can launch what ever...

    Nintendo on Smart Devices: Nothing's Ruled Out, Not Even Games

    "However, if you report that we will release Mario on smart devices, it would be a completely misleading statement. It is our intention to release some application on smart devices this year that is capable of attracting consumer attention and communicating the value of our entertainment...

    Updated: Man Has $50,000 Twitter Stolen, Blames GoDaddy, PayPal

    Or alternatively, have nothing of value. Hasn't failed me so far. I don't get all the fuss over a twitter account. Sure having a single letter Twitter account would be neat, but, all that effort for it? I don't understand.

    PlayStation Now May Exclude PS1/PS2 Games, PS4 To Get Emulators

    So, yet again Sony makes many promises and then several months later after they "win" proceed go back on their world. Sony you sly devil you, the masses followed your devilish ploy yet again without realizing the inevitable pattern.

    DRM Circumvention May Be Legal, European Union Court Rules

    That would be legal as your action doesn't break the law, you only broke DRM to play a legal purchase which the law allows. It doesn't allow the break of DRM to infringe upon copyright, which means so long as you purchase the software you wish to play you are A okay. Yes Nintendo, you are an...
