Sadly, this is how it works for government employees. Screw up? Let the taxpayers pick up the tab. And they still get to keep their jobs. Whoever ok'd and oversaw this operation should be fired and possibly prosecuted.

Honestly, Steam won't disappear. The likely scenario is that it will be bought up by some company that won't be as mellow as Valve. And when that happens, this rumored contingency plan will be shit-canned.

Yes, but pc games go on sale pretty quickly compared to console games. And in a year's time, you can find the pc version of a game on sale cheaper than a used console version of that game. Will MS sell a AAA for 75% off during a Holiday Sale? I really doubt it.

What about people or stores who aren't in the system? This takes away trading, borrowing and renting games and will hurt the few "mom & pop" stores left. This is purely anti-consumer and I won't be participating in this. If MS wants console buyers to put up with the anti-consumer methods of pc...

They want to get us drunk? Does that mean they're going to release another shitty Unreal Tournament game again?

I didn't say that it was easier to pirate on a console than on a pc. I was replying to two different things. 1) It isn't "much harder" to pirate on a console. It isn't as easy, but it isn't that difficult. I guess you don't know the difference between hard and not so hard. 2) The fact...

I take it you've never browsed the Game ads in your local craigslist, Every third ad is someone wanting to mod either a Xbox 360 or Wii. And nobody with any sense takes their modded console online or gets viruses from pc piracy.

I never had a Xbox, so I really like the fact that my Xbox 360 can play some original Xbox games. That being said, BC isn't really an issue. If you really want to play Xbox games, either keep your Xbox or go buy a used one. I eventually did pick-up a used Xbox for $50, with a couple of extra...

Let's be honest, gamers, on average, aren't the smartest bunch of people out there. What other consumer will pay good money for a product they don't own, let the manufacturer or publisher take away the few rights they do have, and then give those bastards even more money? I think this is what...

Come on now. I had to put in by birth-date to be able to watch a video of a ten year old game? Really, how stupid. And if I was underage, do you really think I wouldn't have used a false date?

Sure they're doing great sales now. But reboots are supposed to be for the long-term. Let's see how sales are in a year or two before judging how successful this is.

Why even bother with a NWN MMO when D&D Online is around and very successful? Also this is being developed my Cryptic, so it won't be worth the wait and will be very inferior to D&DO.

Blizzard won't make a "crappy console port" of D3 unless they can get the same money-grubbing AH set-up thay have for the pc. MS is pretty strict on stuff, so that's why Blizzard and Valve both critized Live. Both companies make good games. But they take big advantage of their positions in the...

Bioware isn't pissing on their own work, their pissing on the fans of that work. Pissing all over customers is the "in thing" among developer/publishers. If you don't believe me, just think about drm and see if it's more effective in stopping A) piracy or B) second-hand sales.

Those services are actually worse. Steam and battle.net games can never be owned by another person. Talk about the "pot calling the kettle black", sheesh.
