I don't get the outcry. They've said the DLC they are selling is not "day1 DLC", it'll probably be a month or so until it comes out. Sure the dude definitely said some stupid stuff, but if we hated everyone who said stupid stuff once upon a time and didn't walk it back after we'd end up hating...

Fair point, but at least there we have 10% "journalists", here we have 0%.

There is a simple answer to this, but I guess simple answers don't make for articles. A journalist would shy away from opinions where a reviewer is essentially giving his. A "Gaming journalist" would stick to getting stories that rely upon facts that could be verified and wouldn't "print news"...

Person uses colloquial phrase to give everyone an instant understanding of what exactly said person is referencing and some people's panties get in a bunch. For said phrase to be an insult, he would have to have added context to the quote. Example: "For players who have that friend who is bad...

Psst, not to let facts get in the way of a story but lets do some math here. If WoW had 9.1 million subscribers minimum during the last quarter at $15.00 each, the quarterly revenue for that period would be $409.5M alone. If you use $14.00 as the base subscription price to account for currency...

From my experience, steam gives refunds on games purchased so long as you contact support about the refund before the release date. I've had 3 different games where I pre-ordered the title and decided against it before the release date, and I got the refund. I've also tried to get a refund 3...

I'll just go through my steam games... -Aliens vs. Predator (2010) hated the alien side -Batman Arkham asylum GOTY no real reason -Borderlands terrible game -Crysis lost interest about half way through -Crysis warhead: same as crysis, but got almost 2/3's through -Dead space: not a fan...

Lets call this what it is, an attempt to garner some free media from the mainstream press. Who here thinks a feminist group raising the profile of this title would do anything but good things for it's sales?

With all due respect, people giving a damn about the box art is what's wrong with this industry, and why we cant have nice things. Do you care about the box art on your windows OS? Why should you? I'm more interested in the quality of the product inside the box then what's on the outside. Sure...

What "accolade" has this game won? Best wet-bar at a press event? Best deli spread?

We are buying a license to use software, we aren't buying a finished product or even a *wink wink* finished product. To put it another way, imagine if instead of purchasing a vehicle, you simply purchased an agreement that allows you to use the vehicle for your own personal use. You pull out...

Gotta love Gearbox, the company who always relies on "someone else" to handle their multi-player throwing rocks at the people who handle it for them. Mr. Pitchford should take that golden tongue of his into politics, he would probably be very good at it.

I really don't know the cases details enough to make a judgment as to whether it will be won or lost. I do know however issuing a warning does not preclude a party from being liable in a civil case. The differences between civil and criminal law are large, and there is a far lower burden of...

Issuing a warning does not relieve one of liability. Just look at tobacco companies. For 40 years warnings were issued about smoking being bad for one's health before the companies were finally taken to court where they lost. If steps are being taken in other similar markets to ensure this isn't...
