I'm AMAZED by the fact I have not yet seen anyone actually look at the most obvious already existing example of paid mods: Simulator mods! Here: https://www.simshack.net/ Specifically, flight simulators have had paid mods for a while now and it's just fine. Some of them are very...

I really appreciate editorials like these. It actually puts a human face, someone who is actually responsible for things, on the forefront of what is often just a dehumanized "news outlet" in the modern digital era. However, I do wonder about the topic of newsworthy stories and if something...

Well, it's still origin. They could be gifting all the games for all I care and I still wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. Then again I live in Europe and the fiasco with the languages and versions is still unacceptable, has been since 2009.

Perhaps once advertising companies and websites develop a standard for how web advertising is supposed to be like, rather than this wild-west type nonsense where everyone does whatever they can (regardless of good/bad and we're just supposed to trust them out of the kindness of our hearts,)...

You mean KAZUKI? What you're describing there is the "Kazuki tactic" as I kept calling it when I played it. During the game he would basically rush the enemies head on no matter what! I mean it's not like the other characters were complete morons and they kept calling him on it every time but...

For anyone interested in this, there's also: http://wingsofstnazaire.com/ So, yeah! Awesomecakes!

So, was there any point to this article besides advertising a pretty mediocre game? To be honest, I'm not particularely in love with gearbox' hilarious DLC pratices, nor the fact the game feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be at all. The customization aspects are a bad joke and...

Good to see at least there's some discussion around here on the topic. But it's funny considering we're -all- guilty of copyright infringement, as all our computers must copy data constantly when we're using it. That game you're playing? It's not running off the disc you bought, or the...

No positive side to piracy? http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/issues/issue_253/7532-Gamers-of-the-Third-World Time for some readin', boy.

I had one of those typical "maverick hunter" websites back in 1997. Those were the good'ol days, indeed!

On piracy and why free software has a hard time: http://autotelic.com/windows_is_free I mean I'm all for piracy as it's the logical extent of the technology we've developed. But, unfortunately, it also screws up actual free software which is a goddamn shame.

Reminds me of this recent article: http://www.wired.com/beyond_the_beyond/2011/04/dead-media-beat-federico-giordano-almost-the-same-game/ The main issue here is that people (and the article) is talking about the games industry, which is something that necessarily only exists for the next...

This is a very VERY important thing. It's just amazing nobody seems to care, while at the same time screaming on and on about games being or not being art. Well this is the main difference, most people, when it comes actually down to it, don't CARE as they aren't part in the experience of making...

This is absolutely hilarious as "the path" uses modernism nonstop, both musically, visually and conceptually. You "refuse" to be involved with something you're actually doing yourself, or should I take it that you're JUST referring to Duchamp and people similar to that? Schoenberg, Ligeti...
