My problem with Origin is just how annoying and featureless it is. In steam, you can set it to go straight to your games library and not show any popups. In origin, every time you launch it, it opens (SLOWLY) the store page and has an annoying popup that says "BUY THIS NOW!" There is no option to disable or change this behavior. There's also no way (built-in that is) of backing up games, unlike steam. You may enjoy downloading a 16.2gig game every time you reformat, but I sure as hell don't. Lets not forget that, despite checking save password and autologin boxes, origin will, after a random amount of time, error out and force me to type in my password. A problem I don't have with say... steam.
I don't hate origin because it's made by EA. I hate origin because it's inferior in every single way to the competition.
I sincerely doubt the problem with autonomous car adoption is going to be because the cars won't speed. I suspect it'll be the price, technology, or likely both. After all, rich people usually hire other people to drive them around anyway. Why pay more for the same thing?
Not having high hopes for this one. Developed my terminal reality who gave us BloodRayne, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, and Kinect Star Wars. Published by Ubisoft which hates the PC platform and, if the problems with the newest Ghost Recon are any indication, not too fond of consoles either.
It's going to bomb. Even if it's playable, I suspect it'll be mediocre gameplay at best. The only thing it has going for it is the license. Those games are never worth the purchase price.
Pfft... until 5 months ago, my "current" computer was a Pentium 4 at 1.8 MHz. (Actually, I don't know how my year-old Aspire One compared with that, because I never used it for serious work).
Only 1.8 MHz? Yes, I think you've won the slowest computer of the century award.

Whoops, just noticed it's actually being published from Activison. My blind rage of ubisoft has gotten the best of me yet again.

How dreary that place looks, I'm surprised more people don't throw themselves into traffic.
That's a nice theory. The real world implementation of this is no matter how well the game sells, blame the pirates for not selling more.
