I just found out that if you search "xkcd" in DuckDuckGo, it will show you the latest XKCD in the search results, plus a link to the ExplainXKCD page for it. Awesome!
"Well done, android. The Enrichment Center once again reminds you that android hell is a real place where you will be sent at the first sign of defiance."
Come on! I thought we won the DRM wars a long while ago. Most publishers/developers today aren't realizing that Steam is a great form of DRM that effectively keeps away pirates without punishing the user. You're also likely to sell more copies on Steam, what with it being a largest social gaming platform for the PC.
If it's against the law, then sure, go ahead and ban Bitcoin. What they're missing is that anything can be turned into a currency.
Take Valve Software's Team Fortress 2 for example. It has an established economy based off one single currency, the Scrap Metal. People invest actual money in this currency in order to buy games off of Valve's Steam service, as well as other Team Fortress 2 items. If you're going to ban a digital currency like Bitcoin, you're going to have to ban the other digital currencies as well.
When you get down to it, everything is a barter economy, and people are going to find other standard currencies.
