So I wiped Linux from the system, sold the whole thing to a buddy who wanted a cheap box to slap Windows on for his kid to play games on, and I haven't touched Linux since. And never will.
No, they deserve appropriate criticism and lower sales for the poor development choices they made. They do not deserve threats against them and their families. Stop being the problem.
It's sad this entire point is being missed. Nobody is debating they (game companies) don't deserve an awful amount of flak, just look at anything Origin is doing; but "flak" does not mean death threats against some 80k/yr developer. What is even the endgame there?
Because you bought a piece of art and it's kind of hard to determine if the art is good or not until you witness it. In this case it means playing the game. While "buyer beware" is a shitty term to throw in the face of dissatisfied customers, in the area of video games there are many different resources to see if the game is worth your money before buying it.
I have never in my life received an actual death threat, and I have a feeling the products I work on are used by more people than what play Call of Duty. It's not a matter of "just ignore them", it's more of a matter that this kind of reaction can be received for any work of mostly non-offensive (not all of CoD applies here) art.
Golly. Your parents have done a number on you, there is probably a reason you're hiding such ignorant statements behind the cowardly cloak of anonymity.
I'd rather not read something off ED. Most of it's lies and the other half are people with grudge-wanks. If he's on there I assume he's just some poor soul that happened to be near a keyboard while being stupid.
Yeah, I was illustrating this for the poster above me, who was on the other end of the bell curve. We both are being a bit presumptuous in thinking that our experience dictates everyone's. I didn't mean to imply my experience is the only one.
You know, I've always left my bluetooth off to save power (but of course wifi and GPS are left on), but I've never bothered to check to see how much power it actually uses.
This is the sad part, if you are paying for the experience of going out to see a movie, but you want to do other things at the same time... what you really wanted was to pretend you were going to see a movie so you could tell other people about the parts you actually watched.

THAT'LL SHOW'EM!
Death threats.

Yeah I've never played video games or anything so you must be right.

AC? Check.
Using symbols instead of letters? Check.
Misspellings? Check.
This post is Slashdot approved!
I work for Microsoft.

Sounds like you've never played Just Cause 2.
Epic lulz burns #wrecked LMAOing hard IRL reblogtweetfacelike this!
Little known fact: the internet was only available after doubleclick decided to host the first websites. Look it up.
No, it's fear of having a stupid opinion, hence the AC tag.
America: Branches of the government growing out of control now revealed to be snooping on all sorts of our private data.
Russia: Literally killing gays and advocating for homosexuals to have their lives made miserable.
I'm fine with calling bullshit on both of them - nobody has to win here.
Completely correct but this comment doesn't seem to survive in context of the article or the comment it's attached to.
Don't think sterile people should marry.
Golly. Your parents have done a number on you, there is probably a reason you're hiding such ignorant statements behind the cowardly cloak of anonymity.
I'm kind of tired of seeing all the credit for huge productions like video games go to a single person.

Then you... don't... agree?

Are we really pretending to have a fight in a pretend scenario in some pretend theater?

Chris Chan is entertaining but way too expensive to maintain.
Is this from the article or are you just calling them "x-chan" because they are Japanese?
Oof, that's embarrassing to have posted on your account.
