Well I just looked up Spry Fox and their products are mainly freemium games so not just similar but intrinsically tied to whales by the freemium business model. My interpretation = "You're less likely to give me loads of your money via my mobile games."

That was PS3 which presented them with certain issues. I certainly don't anticipate the same problems arising with the PS4.

"Bethesda.net is already being used to support The Elder Scrolls Online across every platform for "millions of players." Great, given the login issues I had with ESO when I played it I look forward to trying to play FO4 and Dishonored 2 and being told I'm logging in on a new PC when I'm not...

Yeah, I don't think people want to do due diligence for a mod. Yes, reviews and opinions on mods currently exist but, when mods are free, no one is dependent on those reviews as they can just dl, try it and uninstall if it is unsuitable, not to the player's taste or just plain bad. As to your...

At this stage it's starting to look like GRRM will never finish the books, I'm not talking about his age or his health, I just think he's lost interest. The next book may see the light of day but I suspect the last book never will.

Technically they're releasing a different edition, if you look at the ESO announcement they even mention the PC/Mac release is March 17th. I'm guessing so people who are currently on 6 months subs (it was only removed as an option for those who didn't already have this) don't find they...

Thing is, though, it is irritating when I'm drawn away from whatever I'm doing, be it eating, reading, playing a game etc to answer the phone to someone who has zero chance of selling something to me anyway, all they've done is interrupt my leisure time for nothing.

Only time will tell if this is a good thing but good to see Valve trying something new to improve Steam and certainly better than them policing releases, it's easy to say "That game shouldn't be allowed on Steam" but I think it's better that Valve stay neutral as a distribution channel rather...

iirc Bethesda were one of the first to do DLC as we now know it. Arguably they did have mis-steps with Oblivion but, it could be said, this was very much an experiment. I will agree that, post-Oblivion, Bethesda have been spot on with their DLC, even more so with FO:NV, Skyrim and Dishonored...

In my experience when someone calls people out for not embracing change it's because those changes aren't very good. If the changes were good, even if the benefits were not immediately obvious, then Mr Moore wouldn't feel the need to say this. Case in point: Valve - I don't think anyone...

The difference is DayZ rips you off for a one-time cost, H1Z1 will rip you off on an on-going basis via microtransactions :p

People have often talked up Bioware games for the "moral choices" but I've always found them a bit shallow. In KOTOR I still remember a dialogue option where the obvious evil choice was basically a juvenile insult. Skyrim did quite well, in that rather than good or bad, killing some NPCs...

Multiplayer was a blast back in the day, especially the mode where you had to defend/attack a set of 3 points. The only downside was PunkBuster could be a nightmare, kicking one for no reason. Other than that, still the best FC to date, 3 wasn't bad but still, to my mind, not as good as the...

Well, after reading some of the comments here and thinking about how much I use this site I've decided to pay the $20 for the Publisher's Club :) I think this is a big reason for Adblock. Essentially, security. Website advertising tends to be quite hands-off for the site itself, with...

Yeah, if it's points-based it can definitely favour the person with more spare time to play. A more skilled player who has other commitments can lose out. If anything, the person with the highest kills-per-death could be the person to get it. That said...yeah, this is drama waiting to happen.
