It's a bit of a lose-lose scenario here, where it's less of an OS flaw, and more of a design decision. Personally holding out on my W10 verdict, but I can't really fault them here for not putting up with the kind of harmful bullshit secuROM / SafeDisc introduce.

Microsoft (and recently, Google) got slapped by the EU courts over its monopoly position. It's unlikely those'll concern themselves with US USP's.

If EA's PR department are still the same people that brought us "Why your mom hates Dead Space" (among other gems), I'm not sure it'd help much.

I might need to update my terminology a bit, as Pixar indeed dropped off quite a bit by now, and produced genuine shite (Monsters Academy). The thing I was referring to was that as soon as they released a merely-pretty-decent-movie (Brave), it was treated as a dud. For almost any other...

I'd say this is not as much about Escapist sensationalism, as it is about Marvel suffering Pixar syndrome. The moment anything they make doesn't knock it so far out of the park it reaches geostationary orbit, it's a failure.

Yea, I can understand he disliked the concept, but if all you have to offer is a personal rant, then you shouldn't be writing reviews professionally. You're writing reviews for people who are potentially interested - people who didn't hate the concept or genre on sight. Right now this is...

... and the award for the tootiest hype train goes to....

They're singing it, but so far we haven't seen much more than lofty promises and some backpedalling out of any of those three companies. I actually miss being excited for stuff. While being a jaded pessimist leads to a truly depressing amount of "I told you so" moments, it's really not much fun.

EA has been singing the "we've learned from our fuck-ups, really!" for quite a while now. MS, Ubisoft, and them could start a chorus by now.

While I (partially) agree with the sentiment, keep in mind that this number was generated by them trawling through 150.000 games and spare. While their classification and banning system is still downright retarded, these numbers should be put into perspective.

Little hard info on this, deliberate dodging of all questions regarding paid modding in FO4... that's not a fish market you're smelling.

Just so we're clear: I'm not debating there isn't a strong case to be made for Geralt being a Mary Sue: there absolutely is. Many of your problems in the examples you've given can be boiled down to "nobody gives a shit about a bunch of peasants". The ingame repercussions aren't telling you...

(Speaking about game Geralt here, book version is a different discussion) Aren't most of these points indicative of him not being a Mary Sue? He certainly is a hypocritical jerk with a very negative outlook on pretty much everyone else, but those are probably the "qualities" heaviest against his...

This is the single biggest problem with this analogy. Whereas re-enacting Batman runs amok of multiple laws, several strands of common sense, and sheer physical/financial impracticality, ill-advised BDSM adventures are much more feasable. Whether the extra attention and sympathy towards BDSM...

Not sure whether this includes the mobile edition of Windows, but my normal Desktop OS installation procedure already includes a ritual burning of all bloatware. I fail to see how this is any different.\ Either it's easily removed, or you can google for half a second for either a tutorial, or...
