This piece is misguided, even for something written on Sunday. Most of its contentions are with the incentive schemes of capitalist markets, not this marketplace in particular. It also takes the 75/25 number at its face, rather than seeing it for what it means. I've already posted about the...

Dang. I was hoping they'd keep the store and just improve on its weaknesses. Alas, we remain in a silver age of modding. I hope they consult with the community in the next few months and bring a version of it back, perhaps with a more progressive implementation.

I'm not the person you're responding to, but I thought I'd share some thoughts about how misguided these assertions are (as well as some of the implicit claims that I suspect lie behind them). There's no reason to expect that every member of a team would take an equal share of the income. And...

This whole issue is very strange. Commenters, here and elsewhere, often seem to conflate the issues particular to Steam's new pay-to-play system with worries about capitalist markets more generally. Taking an above post as an example: In capitalist markets people get what they pay for absent...

Significant evidence suggests that quantum computers can produce sequences of data that are unpredictable.

The title is a little misleading. Computers can, in principle, operate randomly. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that humans also have this feature, or at least something akin to in-principle impredictability. The more interesting question, I think, is how humans and machines compute differently...

The sexual answer this thread was made for: Fake breasts (just joking, I live an asexual lifestyle (not by choice)) The real answer: - The big bosses at the end of the Golden Axe skirmish campaign - The Watcher in Myth: The Fallen Lords (here's someone beating the level using game...

Probably Halo. You're in space... You're elite... You're fighting bad aliens... Your squad is elite... bang bang... Oh would you look at that I beat the game. P.S. Does second life count? I've heard that's fantastically uneventful.

Some bad games have hit upon good ideas. For example, Limbo of the Lost stole all of its content from better games. Theoretically: Best game ever. In practice: Poorly executed attempt at theft. Here's a full review of it for those who've never heard of this catastrophic game...

Myth 2:

I know it's a tad early as most estimates pin the game's release date to early next year but there's still lots to talk about. For those of you that don't know, The Old Republic is the third installment of the Old Republic series with the first to games being Knights of the Old Republic...

The Myth series as an fps. I dare anyone that played those games to tell me that wouldn't make for an absolutely incredibly awesome experience.

KotOR 2 for sure. Yes, I know there was already a discussion about this earlier but it certainly deserves to be listed amongst the list of game sequels that fell short of not merely expectations but most par standards. Yes, much of the game is awesome and definitely followed well from the...

- The Myth series in almost any incarnation - Thief series but keeping Garrett and the setting, not the hinted-at modern one that's in development - Legacy of Kain would be cool too, though hopefully with less melodrama

I, too, find it odd the results haven't been posted yet. We should do something about this. Perhaps write an angry letter in the forums or send a very assertive private message to someone with an air of authority - perhaps that will help.
