I've known about this for years, and I've never worked for any of these companies. When I go into a Gamestop, or similar place, I asked for a sealed copy of the game, if they don't have a sealed copy, I go to the nearest other store, and buy a sealed copy.
It's simple, rather whine about it, ask for a sealed copy, if they don't have one go somewhere else. Put your money where your mouth is.
I agree 100%, I've been using Ubuntu for the last 2 years on every PC in my house. 8.04 broke more things than it fixed on two of my laptops, both machines had hardware that worked fine in 7.10 and lower, but refuses to work in 8.04. Not to mention glitches with the graphics and OpenGL.
Glad to see they have their priorities straight, we have eye candy, but we've taken a step backwards in hardware support? How much sense does that make?
Sadly, one of my laptops has to work, so I temporarily installed Windows for the first time in 2 years, while I'm trying out some new distros.....
