And of those PC games, I suspect at least half involved lawsuits with the development studio, or non-lawsuit but nonetheless screwing the development studio.
Yeah, that's mostly true, but the junker class including a lot of industrialists did put a lot of weight behind them in Germany, thinking the nazis could be easily manipulated... The only thing that saved Schacht from the rope was his being such a complete moron (and if anything proved that it was his attempts at intriguing to get the nazis in power so he could keep them on a short leash for the junker cause... yeah).
I'm not sure I'd bet 100$ on that. They're already putting the non-terran campaigns as expansions in SC2, I'm fully waiting for other weird moves of the sort.
They wouldn't follow friendly advice that's gamer or dev friendly anyway, with what they keep doing to gaming studios it's obvious that Kotick keeps a fake moustache in his desk so he can twirl it.
Modders aren't cheats, unless you're one of those butthurt console gamers who think improving gameplay, fixing bugs and expanding the game is cheating.
Suddenly have even more playtime out of the game "
All you get on consoles are the DLC the studios give out when they're willing to throw a bone at you. Oh, and if the game is buggy (e.g. Oblivion) forget about unofficial patches on console.
If the food you eat carries with it this sort of legal liability, it's unsafe from a social point of view, no matter how biologically sound it might be.
To be fair, the idea that GM foods will feed the world any more than other methods being experimented, like some of the modern no-till methods, is still very much arguing the consequent:p
Glorious Chicago boys, where would we be without their changing "free market" meaning a market of free (in the classical sense) agents into a market of free (in the mad max sense) for all...
Because obviously the next step is to stop them from having a SUV and a car and a huge suburban house. In fact it's well known the environmentalist movement wants to firebomb (in ecologically-friendly ways) all suburbs out of existence. (I do dislike suburbs, but repealing zoning laws would do wonders on that eyesore;) )
We started selectively breeding crops when we started eating plants.
No, it took centuries and millenias for agriculture to show up, and then it took centuries to get to extensive agriculture. Then some forms of selection happened, thousands of years after we "started" eating plants.
Bread is actually only about 3000-4000 years old. But I agree on the rest, some of the food we've been growing forever is absolutely horrible for sustaining humanity, like manioc, which was actually abandoned for thousands of years in many places. The plant produces mostly empty calories.

Oh, yeah, that sucks. ;)
It's also generally considered a gamer fashion faux pas
The corporations bankrolled both world wars and the rise of fascism.
2Dboys did manage to get World of Goo on wiiware, but it was well after the game sold like hotcakes with free ponies on PC/Mac/Linux.

You forget
"PC:
Get bored or annoyed at something in the game
Look online
Get mods
Suddenly have even more playtime out of the game

(who could afford all the political/marketing effort to deal with the anti-GM crowd, much less the research effort?
Monsanto, obviously, given that they were already an enormous multinational that made its wealth on chemicals anyway.
17% of Earth is the entire African continent, just saying.

People do not, indeed, get a BS.
Because it's a BSc in Economics.

Mises also gave a definition of socialism that encompasses tsarist russia. I wouldn't trust him on much else.
So hm... "hunting = animal husbandry"
"firewood = nuclear power plant"
"extensive agriculture = factory farms"
"mini = SUV"
Free markets do, otherwise they're not free and controlled by who controls the information.

There are a lot of ways to do small-scale farming.

Awesome, the food chain is in the hands of moustache twirling cartoon villains :/
a) No, it's fundamental science
b) so that makes what we're doing now tolerable how?
