i guess you have never read it before. Economist is a private interest mouthpiece that serves whatever their financiers tell them to do, depending on what their backers need as policy at any given period. Judging from the contents of your summary, one can easily say that this time the group they are licking the boots of is RIAA.
I was laughing with you until I realized you weren't joking. Then I started laughing at you.

As lovely as the conclusion was for the characters, it does nothing for the viewers who were sold for 5 seasons on the concept of the mysterious island with shitloads of secrets which give rise to even more questions that would eventually be answered. Unfortunately that is not what we got. It feels like the writers painted themselves into a corner and were unable to come up with a satisfactory wrap up regarding the island's secrets so instead gave us as pseudo-Jacob's Ladder ending. No thanks.
On a side note in mentioning pirate software as a means to distrubute these infections. Apparently a lot of free Virus checkers deliberately give false positives on pirated software, particularly keygens. I wonder if companies pay free virus checkers to falsely mark as positive keygens that pirate their software
I'm not saying you are wrong, but this seems highly improbable to me. Can you post a link to some documented proof that this is true?
How about a reason or two why this is a joke? Why, oh knowledgeable gamer, is this game not worthy? Please tell me as I obviously have no idea what a good game is. Seriously though. You people claiming that there have been no good games in the last year (or decade, depending on how curmudgeonly you are feeling as you type) are simply full of shit.
I had more to type here but I give up. Arguing on/. is just about the most pointless thing a person can do. Fuck it.
A lot of you don't seem to realize that this is just one publisher. No one mentioned BioWare, Fireaxis, EA, etc. TBQH, I don't really care. A clever and useful UI that gives you all the in-game help you could need would be a lot easier than paging through manuals looking for that one thing you need.
So your argument is that it behooves console makers to make piracy easier on the system so that more systems are sold? You forget to factor in the fact that console hardware is sold at a loss. This means that the company in this example now has a bunch of consoles sold (for a loss in profit) and little money coming in for game sales because of rampant, easy piracy.

For the record I believe in evolution, questioning the bible, and tolerance for everybody, be they black, white, gay, Klingon, or even woman.
Why Christianity then? Not trolling, actually curious.
You've obviously never played "Diplomacy".
*You're*. FTFY.
Interesting. I like to get things done during my work day rather than spend all day "pounding nails". To each his or her own.
Too bad this article wasn't about DRM though.

Look at how dumb you are.
Chrono Trigger flashbacks?

Here, I'll name one: Demon's Souls.
http://goatkcd.com/ is the best realization of the comic, by far.

Did...did you just tell me to fuck a flying doughnut? Well I never.

I don't think this means what you think it means...
I love my Zune.
Then your browser must suck.
$300 - $400 is cheap for a console to you?

Yep, seems like an awesome business model to me.
Not the case with the PS3 though. Games are region free.
What's that you fucking faggot? A cocksucking Xbot trying to talk shit about console reliability?
Get the fuck off this site you piece of garbage. The gaming world hates you and your piece of shit console.
AHHH hahah hahah. That made my morning. Thanks. Tool.
Put a talented writer like Joss Whedon...
Haha.
HAHHAHAHahaa.
AAAAHAHAHahAHAHHAaha!
That wasn't the case for me and I got in when it first started up.
Considering it's such a terrible, terrible movie, is missing out on Equilibrium such a bad thing?
