It's ok, soon, all the media companies will merge (probably into Disney/Fox), and then one company will own all music and TV, making rights sales obsolete.
Wasn't there a movie with a somewhat similar premise? All the restaurants merged into Taco Bell or something like that?
Could we also send emails to fuckbeta@slashdot.org? They might have some kind of catch-all box for addresses they don't explicitly monitor or something, maybe?
This sounds plausible at first glance, but for it to really be true, then the entire game would need to be rigged (as per "pro" wrestling) otherwise there's no guarantee that the "villain" would win and stay on the show long enough to actually rile people up.
Disagree. Fuel economy is my primary motivating factor in a vehicle; I don't care so much for entertainment value in a method of transportation, it's all function over form. While I do know people who are as you describe (most of them are very young drivers), they are finding themselves in an accelerating minority.
It's time to tell the RIAA and MPAA companies that enough is enough, and to curb their power to turn participatory culture into mere consumerism by putting an end to never-ending copyright terms.
I'm all for this. How do we do it? Especially if they're even half as entwined with the government as the tin foils suggest...
This has to be one of the best reasons for yanking kids out of school and turning to homeschooling that I've ever heard! (Barring specific medical conditions, etc.)
I think this functionality depends on how the game is implemented, rather than what Steam can do about it.
Truth. Dungeon defenders can play multiple players on one PC with only one copy of the game. Of course, you need controllers for the additional players, but that's beside the point.:)
Microsoft wont blame themselves for any difference between actual and total expected sales. They'll just prefer to blame the console market for being dead.
The only figure that will force MS to face reality is the actual difference between Xbox One and PS4 sales.
Oh, no. They'll find a way to blame piracy as well. Especially if the console gets rooted as per some comment above.
I'd imagine that this is because, "in the last few quarters", everyone that wanted an XBox most likely had already purchased one and wouldn't need another one.
So you'll excuse me if I don't shed a single tear to see these bloated corporate monsters choke to death on their endless desire for every higher profits and need to bump the stock price, the whole lot of them is worthless as far as I'm concerned.
I am honestly surprised that the environmentalist movement is not attacking the government over hemp.
You and me both.
I would presume, though, that the fact that a natural plant like this can't be patented, copyrighted, or otherwise maneuvered into having a government-granted monopoly, corporations are fighting tooth and nail to keep it down as long as they can.

Wait... you're talking about actually reading the articles?!

You, sir, have the right idea. +1 Internets to you.

So, a science based publication can't come up with the technology needed to effectively deal with spam bots? Trolls will troll, but, really?

+1 Informative if I had one, Mr. Mattern.
While that is true, it doesn't explain what a "barron" is.
While I agree whole-heartedly with your statement, I don't think this is limited to gamers. Look at the state of affairs in the US as a whole...
Please come with us into the black van. NOW! *whack to head, covered with black bag*

I'm really hoping that this is the case. This is about the only thing that might get me to buy either console.

You, sir, are my hero.
Too much corporate ass-hattery, not enough consumer-friendly. I will not buying into this round of consoles at all.
Don't download or buy kids!
I think the trafficking of children is illegal most everywhere...
My neighbors are mutants. And Commies. And they talk of these security levels that I know can't exist...
...it's sickening that I have to pay over $200 for cable...
Protip: you don't. Cable isn't a "need", it's a "want", so you don't "have" to pay for it - you choose to.

Domain blocking has been so successful already. No one will figure out how to use alternative DNS servers, or simply type in the IP address manually.
I already compile a list of IPs for sites I like to frequent - white hat, black hat, or otherwise.
