It's far more likely that it's getting pulled because the US may be region locking their Subscription version, but an Asian English market (eg Singapore) may going/launching as F2P because Asian MMO players don't like Subscription games very much. Australia always gets shafted with MMORPG's...

Funny, for decades we've been complaining about having too many dang chargers for devices, and can never get replacements for broken ones. So finally someone realizes that we can solve that problem by making the charger separate, and the smart people will just replace their existing 3DS with the...

I think this is confusing two different things. Buying every product X from every retailer, harms nobody. If someone wants to be a dick, they would buy all the items, set them on fire while streaming it on the internet. The person in question is closer to the latter than the former. As it is...

I think there is some morbid irony in that international gamers have to assume an American ID just to play games sold on the American Marketplace because their domestic marketplace is such a disaster. See also Australia. This is why people get rightfully upset at region locking and DRM, at...

Well the difference between XP/DX9 and Vista/DX10 is that they completely changed the driver model, and Vista/7 have 64-bit drivers. A similar thing happened with the Audio drivers. Basically the difference between Windows 2000 and Windows XP is smaller than the difference between XP and Vista...

Oh let me share... Final Fantasy XIV - Cluster**** Wizardy Online - Cluster**** Final Fantasy XIV:ARR - Cluster**** Archeage - Cluster**** I've played plenty more during beta's. Everyone already knows how much of a screwup FFXIV's V1.0 was, so I'll skip over that. Wizardy Online -...

4chan doesn't delete threads unless they are incredibly dangerously illegal. They never delete piracy threads, only threads with CP in them. The 4chan GG stuff started disappearing because they couldn't get those doing illegal things to stop, so they just shut all of GG stuff down. Same thing...

Haha, that reminds me of when "The Nostalgia Critic" reviewed "The Room" and called it the worst movie ever. Like seriously why would a developer mock someone, especially someone they know has a fair bit of a following. That's the kind of thing a 12 year old does. There's a difference...

Utter BS. I want to mention two things: a) The average person isn't actually aware that a game runs at 1080p because the effectiveness of 1080p doesn't extend past GUI. Look at a 1080p JRPG or Visual Novel, where the 2D assets are 1080 pixels tall, and then go look at your average 3D game...

"It's a Kids Movie, it's okay to be crap" mentality is because we treat kids like they are idiots. Given a lot of "dumb" kids are easily entertained by TV shows like "SpongeBob Squarepants", it's no surprise that films that promise a nostalgia trip end up being horrible, because we only saw the...

There's plenty of Japanese games that like to play with the Transgender angle, Steins;Gate ( http://steins-gate.us/ ) being one of the more recent ones. It's a core part of the narrative, a not a simple "randomy GLBTQ character" checkbox being ticked off on some marketing department's list...

Microsoft's backtracking on the Xbox One is a lot like the backtracking on the Sony PS3 The original models were super expensive and had features that were ultimately axed. Then you lost backwards compatibility (Original models of the PS3 could, all non-lauch models can not play PS2 games)...

It wouldn't be such a problem if leading questions weren't always phrased as "... as a woman" because the subject then goes from being about the character to being just about their gender. That's the core problem with the lack of women in games. Nintendo would lose absolutely nothing by...

There's something wrong with a game design if it is both single player and has "pay to unlock" content. I may consider this in a Freemium game, but not one where you pay once for the game and then again to unlock stuff that came with it. That's like buying a car and then having to buy separate...

The greater problem is that schools are treating students like prisoners, not children. This in turn is caused by school districts or the higher powers (city/government) cutting budgets to the bone and not providing adequate support for ... well anything. So when a student is suffering...
