Because Valve approved the mod and has been supportive of the remake (Since they aren't interested in remaking it). By selling it on Steam, Valve also gets money from it. It isn't copyright infringement because Valve gave them approval. Copyright infringement is using a copyright without...

Er, yeah. It is a nice gesture by Notch. Now excuse me while I try to understand how him being successful somehow taints this story.

Watch, viewers, as we can see the gamer in its natural hyperbolic state. "While Nintendo has not specifically stated that either of these two cases had any bearing on its decision to discontinue the SpotPass function of SwapNote...", this line even states, that outside of timing, there is no...

"Or [they could] pay the students, which they didn't really agree to," ...Any reason you cut off the quote before the most important statement of the actual quote? You know, the actual point of the case was able using players' identity without actually paying them or giving some form of...

I noticed an implication in this thread that needs to be addressed. Most of the people in the Hearing were most likely already extremely well-informed on the subject matter, or should have been. They have staff meetings, meetings with experts, reporters, and Senators/Congressmen about this kind...

I loved Battlefield 3, it was a very enjoyable multiplayer experience for me. However, if they are still going use Battlelog instead of an actual ingame server browser, this will be a complete pass for me. BF3's Battlelog was the worst setup I ever used, and it did not come anywhere near to...

The retail version did have DRM, most likely enforced by the publisher OR a left-over from the pre-release reviews (Most likely the first one, but I have heard the latter theory thrown around). They also rather quickly removed it and apologized for it being on that version. Given that one...

My optimistic perspective is that Microsoft will unveil the console, go "Hey! Look! It isn't 'always-online!'" and everyone will be so happy they ignore its weaknesses and flaws. My cynical perspective is that Microsoft knows its 'always-online', doesn't care what we think, and knows they are...

Er, what? All gaming is shallow? Maybe, sure. All gaming is inherently shallow, however, that would still produce a scale of shallowness. Some games are more shallow than others. The guy obviously feels that this game is more shallow than other Sim City games, and presumably other city-building...

Or it could be an extreme simplification of a group's cultural elements that one finds offensive? What does it have to do with "anti-white racism"? That is like calling the outrage about the SMITE game "anti-white racism". People don't like cultural aspects, even if they are mainly traditional...

I do. And I love it. Also, good on Amazon for adding these. 'Bout time.

Was in the Beta for the game. Even when it wasn't at a fully complete state, it was still a fantastic mmo. Played WoW, SWG (Pre-NGE and Post), LoTRO, EQ2, FoM, and so forth, and The Secret World has to be in my top three. The combat is rather good, at least for MMORPG standards, but the...

I have apparently missed a large part of this story, because I see a lot of sympathy for Curt Schilling here. I understand people saying that he was "following his dreams", but he did so by showing he was a huge hypocrite; he was completely against unnecessary government spending (Such as the...

You wouldn't of hacked this with a PS3, but with a computer. Jailbroken PS3's have nothing to do with this, neither does the root key. They are two separate cases totally.
