I'm not boycotting anyone, especially game-wise. That seems a bit silly. If company makes a product that I think is good, I'll probably get it, regardless of who they are.
i love steam i bought l4d2 for 6.79 and call of duty 1, united offensive, 2, 4, 5 for 30 bucksTears of Blood said:I assume for Steam, but my question is this:Souplex said:Apple, and Valve. Not much explanation is needed.
Why does Valve have so many fanboys, and what's wrong with Steam? (If you dislike Valve for that.)
I mean, I will admit, a lot of Valve games don't seem as awesome as everyone makes them out to be, although Portal really WAS that awesome... and I love the deals I get from Steam.
And, yeah, Apple sucks.
Yeah, I've never noticed it slowing down my PC either. I am still able to run Oblivion at full capacity with Steam on with no problems.bahumat42 said:ok theres a simple way to stop it slowing down your pc (not that iv ever noticed any real issue myself, despite durig patching) end the process. Your customer service comment might be correct, but from personal experience most companies have bad customer service, however the ones providing good and well priced content are worthy of support
Here's the wikipedia page on it:Tears of Blood said:Holy crap.Helmutye said:Bayer - after the US FDA denied them permission to sell HIV-tainted medical products in the US (the products were made from HIV and Hepatitis C tainted blood and were known to be infectious), they went ahead and sold them in a number of other countries, despite the fact that they knew this would infect any who used the products with HIV. Sure enough, tens of thousands of people were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C.
I need a link for that one, I almost don't believe it.
Big fish eats Little fish, Darwin kinda outlined this one pretty well I believe. If the Little Fish can't find a way to protect and sustain itself then it really has no place existing. Also Wal-Mart started out a Little Fish so yep evolution of business and brands.Tears of Blood said:Also, a few of the posts above this one give plenty more reasons why they suck.Cassita said:It's called a free-market. Would you prefer socialism?Tears of Blood said:2. Wal-Mart (Terrible, evil business practices that kill small businesses)
Do you know why Wal-Mart is big? Because they are doing something well.
Do you know why Wal-Mart are successful? Because their products are cheap and plentiful.
Wal-mart provides hundred of thousands of jobs for people of all ages and skills - some who would not be able to make a living otherwise.

I hate it when people look out for the little guy, just because he's little.
Freedom > socialism.
Perhaps they employ a lot of people, but most of those people could easily find somewhere else to work, and even if they cannot Wal-Mart is not going to have any problem FIRING them, even if they've been working for them for a long time. Indeed, those are usually the people they get rid of first. There's a Wal-Mart right next to where I work (Home Depot, yes I realize that Home Depot has a similar policy in some areas, but I know for a fact that they don't kill small businesses, because we send our customers their way all the time when they can't get what they need at our store.) and I have heard countless stories about the terrible things they've done to their employees.
If you like Wal-Mart you can just say so, but you don't need to accuse me of being a socialist. Sheesh.
Can't help but say "ass hole" to myself after reading that.KingTiger said:Ubisoft...total boycott until they remove their good for nothing DRM...
Either that or just pirate their DRM protected titles just to piss them off and prove that they are only fueling piracy.
