They're threatening that the porn industry will die off if DVD sales don't pick up... somehow I doubt the porn industry is ever going away, whatever its financial state.

So you agree that we should be handing out tax breaks to the top 1-3% of earners whilst talking up fairness? Or that we can afford a Tory government that will almost undoubtedly refuse to invest in things like rail, roads and internet infrastructure in any kind of meaningful way? Or that David...

The 301 report is a joke anyway, it's always been a regurgitation of what the recording/pharma industries have wanted. Even USTR employees don't take the thing seriously.

I'd love to see a study that showed a link between violent video games and real life violence. Because to my knowledge there are none... all the ones I've read that supposedly do take huge speculative leaps and rely on very weak correlations and generally don't even bother controlling or even...

I like it, certainly not the best game I've ever played but good enough to keep me interested. Plus I picked it up pretty cheap, so I'm counting this one as a net gain... or I would if it wasn't for bloody secuROM!!! The damn bloody thing wouldn't let me save my game until I'd signed up for...

why do people make the assumption that desensitization leads to violence? Firstly there is little evidence to suggest that video games 'desensitise' people any more then mainstream media outlets do (regularly showing bloody scenes at times when small children are watching TV). And secondly, just...

I don't really understand the point about gamers being the only ones who care enough to have a say... what about Michael Atkinson and Co.? Their numerous press releases suggest that they do care enough to put their views forward and if they are doing so and still being outweighed 99:1 then...

Microtransaction and subscription models should remain separate. They both work but only in different situations, microtransactions when you're giving away a baseline product for free/very cheap and want people to spend as much/as little as they want. And subscriptions when you want every player...

But from what I've read no one is saying that. They are saying that the religious aspect of the film is used as a 'shortcut' in storytelling, that's not an attack on religion, just bad film making. Now it seems everyones coming out and crying about persecution when I've read/listened/watched...

Well they have the option of piracy, and I assume many will take it. Ubisoft has made the mistake of thinking that just because most gamers have internet connections that they have access to an internet connection all the time. Even ignoring issues like server/ISP downtime, the fact is that...

Oh yay... this means that while the pirates will find a way within hours to get games free with local saves/no online auth/etc. I'm going to be stuck with a useless game if I ever stray anywhere without an internet connection (which is usually a month or more per year for me). I would like to...

It's not impossible, but it's in that nice spot that makes it more difficult to pirate but not at the expense of legitimate customers. Simply due to the way DLC works makes it a smooth (mostly) transition/payment for legitimate customers but adds stumbling blocks to a pirate, making the...
