Except that RockStar is primarily a console game maker. Poorly selling console titles often eclipse well selling PC titles by orders of magnitude. I really don't see them making the investment in a PC only game.
The "see how it sells" is somewhat problematic when places won't sell it. They need to revamp their distribution to do it, and I'm not sure any console makers allow AO.
AO's been out for a while, since the beginning of the ratings, TTBOMK.
There is an AO version of Leisure Suit Larry for the PC, in addition to the M rated ones.
I really don't understand how Larry got an M, even in the M rated version. The only reason it was worth playing was to see how far they were pushing the envelope.
Only once? Some sites are hosted on compromised machines, deflecting any bandwidth issues away from the spammer. Is it ethical to take down a cable modem node because one there is compromised?
Again, no it doesn't, if the standard defines it a certain way.
e.g. std::vector<int> x = { 1,2,3 }; is defined to mean
int xtmp[] = { 1,2,3};
std::vector<int> x(xtmp,xtmp + sizeof(xtmp)/sizeof(xtmp[0]));
The original line would just be syntactic sugar for the next ones. Allow that definition for any constructor assignment to a const array. That wouldn't even limit to the STL classes, you could use it in your own code.
Sony would raise the ship cost of the box were this feature in place - so they would NOT be out the money.
You're assuming they can raise the price. Too high, and there's no demand. $399 is the last price I heard for the PS3. How many fewer sales would there be at $409? You're now above a psychological breakpoint and fewer people will buy.

Freedom of association isn't a civil rights issue?
With the exception of substance abuse or crime..
*ANY* action (legal or not), if it doesn't affect you on work time and doesn't use work resources shouldn't matter.
"Gee, you were speeding to get to work on time. That's illegal. You're fired"
You've named two that play on the old and not on the new.
I said name two that play on the new and not on the old.
Gee, did I credit?
And this is in reference to the size of the media, so it's still accurate.
I know there are DVD games out there, I have a couple,
A couple? I have over a hundred. You forget that the current gen console is DVD.
Name a game that runs on the new PS2 and not the original.
Very easily.
Microsoft says "no", and what they say goes for their console. It's not a computer.
That's plenty for the forseeable future of games.
That sounds remarkably like "640K is enough for anyone".
I have a two DVD console game (from Squaresoft), so it's getting there.

It's a vulnerability.
The vulnerability is in the web app, not the client.

Notice there's no "Add to cart" button (but there is an "add to baby registry").
I added it to my cart the night the AO changed, and kept it in saved items. The next day, "Move to cart" didn't work.
So, no, it's too late for getting it at Amazon.
I tried to get it there the day the rating changed. Nope, no way, not on any of the platforms, they don't sell AO.
And they still had the "San Andreas: Get It Here!" display up too.
So they were one of the *first* to can it, no "even GameStop" about it, they were the leaders of the pack.

It's interoperability with your old monitor, so it would be defensible
Again, no it doesn't, if the standard defines it a certain way.

int xtmp[] = { 1,2,3};

Thanks for the link. I knew about the FF and Chronochross, I didn't know about the others.
For consumer level goods, I'd say 5-6 nines is damn well equivalent to 100%
I'm guessing CD players, casette players, VCRs, DVD players have about the same level of media compatibility.
And even that is arguable. Playing on a computer could be classified as interoperability, which is protected under the DMCA.
- claims 100% backwards compatible
What games aren't? The last list I saw was somewhere around 3 (not 3 percent, 3)

"Getting it right" would involve not making it available on general purpose computers *at all*. Do you think they'll go that far?
