Are you sure about that "consoles/gaming are probably held back by their CPU" part? It is quite possible they used a far too slow CPU to begin with but I was surprised how well my 2011 550? PC (i5-2400) runs Witcher 3. CPU sure as hell wasn't an issue. I'd even say the currently slower...

So many stealth games lately! Added this to the wish list, so I'll pick it up on a sale :)

So is DLGamer trustworthy?

Would totally watch Harley & Stitch.

Spore had a lot of procedural generation... it felt very samey after a while though :(

That sounds like a pain in the arse. I only play limited nowadays, constructed sounds like far too much of a hassle. Back in the day a possible answer would probably have been Engineered Plague, Batwing Brume or Simoon. No idea if anything like that would be legal in the current pool.

My theory: Tradition and bureaucracy (or possible mishap). They probably have some design document/guideline that says limited installations are part of their standard DRM package/requirements. Another alternative would be that the devs were sent an old EA guideline by accident. Either way...

Harry Dresden? Yes please!

Charlie Hebdo had a circulation of ~45k. That is tiny compared to many other publications. Anyone really thinking that a publication of that size can spread massive anti-immigrant sentiments is not really considering the publication's context: Charlie Hebdo is situated very far on the left side...

I keep wondering: People always talk about computers when discussing botnets but what about smartphones? Looking at what stuff my parents' foster child downloads onto his phone I'd expect there to be millions of smartphones waiting for orders. The downloading behaviour of some friends of mine...

They could make the hardware detection based on the Steam client detecting the hardware of all users who don't opt out of the system. So for example you go to a game's page and click the "Hardware comparison" button. You then get a small window that tells you "people who have played this game...
