Hey don't blame the espcapist for that. Due to the society we live in it has become the norm of news suppliers to strive above all to be unbias and 'present both sides'. Unfortunately it has gone so far that if a reporter actually attempted to debunk some of the crazy crap/figures/whatever...

Yeah I just lost a massive amount of respect for Stardock. I have friends with what would be considered conservative points of views in the US and respect them but what Fox news spouts is pure and utter BS and they should be slapped down already for having the tenacity to use the words 'fair'...

The film is set in South Africa... which is quite far away from Nigeria. I don't see the South Africans getting riled up because the 'bad-guys' were mostly South African... seriously Nigeria, grow the fuck up. It's better to have fun poked at you for scams then to be known as the whiny little...

Before trying to take the moral high ground, note that I have not, and never will pirate any video game and pay for them all legitimately through Steam. And do you seriously think DRM stops any piracy at all? The most extreme forms of DRM in games such as Spore were cracked in less then a few...

I never said getting rid of DRM would eliminate piracy, in fact in my post I said quite clearly that people will pirate anyway. But punishing legitimate customers for acting within the law using DRM that does nothing to stop pirates is stupid. You don't get thrown in jail for failing to break...

And idiots, you don't win pirates by detracting value from your product. Seriously has no one learned from the mess that is the music industry? Punishing legitimate customers, means that later in life those customers are going to hate you because you made their product worse, because they paid...

It's because the parents are the voters, and if the politicians tell the truth and say it's the parents fault (even though it is) no one will vote for them... parents are proud pricks like that...

Good for them, 2 seats in the European parliament may not mean much power (dear god i hope it doesn't if the BNP got in...) however such a large percentage of the swedish vote will make the other parties sit up, listen and hopefully come up with some rational ideas of their own instead of...

As much as I love a good corporate ***** slap fest, I really hope this doesn't interfere with the release of the game, because it looks like a decent game and it'd be a shame if Activision has a leg to stand on in this case. Because they're acting like a 4 year old, they dropped it because they...

I think Valve just really needed to put some work into the presentation of this, which is odd from a company usually so good at creating positive buzz around a new game I thought they would have spent at least 5 minutes thinking to themselves how the community might react to news of a sequel...

I think the public reaction to this would improve greatly if it were an expansion pack. Because lets face it, from the information handed out so far that's what it looks like, an improvement to the original game with nothing so new or exciting to be able to justify making it a sequel (by Valves...

I don't think they're complaining about the fact that it's being released quickly, but that it's being released quickly and that from what has been shown so far this looks like nothing more then the same game with a few new weapons/locales. And considering Valves efforts with TF2 releasing new...

I'm sure the religious folks/politicians will find someway to be against this morally, even if they get rid of the cancer issue. Seriously though? I'm not too hopeful, the last time scientists found a good way to produce stem cells the clergy/politicians were in an uproar because of...

It seems odd that Valve would announce a sequel so soon, and even odder that they could manage to release a new one in less then 3 years! :P But seriously, if this is true I'm not a big fan, tbh this sounds a lot like more of the same and either Valve needs to take it back for a year or more and...
