There's a funny story from the scientists about a beached whale that they discovered a while back.
The polar bears that found it did not touch it. They seemingly had no interest in a fresh carcass. It was left alone and started rotting away. After three years it had reached peak rotten, and all the polar bears started eating it up really fast.
It proves that even polar bears are connoisseurs when it comes to food, so this idea that they are waiting for the perfect moment is not so far away from the truth.
Even if they manage to move into other areas of commerce successfully they will still have to close a lot more stores over the next years or else face a full bankruptcy.
I have also played with and against cheaters quite regularly and have been told through the in-game menu that players I have played with in previous matches have been permanently banned for cheating and had my match statistics readjusted to reflect that, as it seems matches with cheaters get voided.
It's really annoying, and especially when it gets really evident like when you sneak towards a corner making no sounds and the guy around just knows you are getting close and starts prefiring. This happens way more often than it should, and reporting users seems not to work.
The only way forward is to curb human activity by introducing breeding caps on growing populations to prevent them from overreaching into animal territory. This is in the interest of the entire rest of the world if we want a sustainable future.
Making graffix for games is what takes the most time now, and most indie devs either make terribly scoped pixel platformers (99% total dev time on sprites), or whatever they can get their hands on/get around to pass as graffix to present their game in order to save time and money. There must be some leniency to this, as long as it is not stealing.
As a poor indie-dev if I have to pay up to four digits to get my game out there it will not happen. I have already passed Greenlight once and sold over 20000 copies on Steam, but as I also have to charge very little for my games a $5000 entry fee would eat up a lot of its income. This could kill a lot of serious submitters as well. What I hope is that they do it like Android and to some degree Apple (they're dinosaurs now), with a lower submission fee but with more weight on accountability. Then again, if they make it easier for people to get exposed to your crowdfunding campaign, that would help too, because right now all I see is crowdfunding campaigns just to afford the entry fee.
Exactly this. The Internet is becoming more standard and everyday than it ever was before, meaning that those who got in early and managed to capitalise are the winners. Look at the car industry for a comparison. There's only Tesla that's a new company that's formed in recent times. This is about to happen to the Internets as well, and it's not even rumours.

They all wanna do it but they don't wanna be caught doing it.

Triple ayy just means that a lot of money was invested in the production of the game, and it also has a sufficient marketing effort.
I wish I had the mod points now because this deserves to be voted up.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
What do you get in return for defending Chrome?

If they ask to see my phone I should see theirs.
I must admit I still play the CS:GO regularly.

There's an app for that.
There is no political will because those in control only seek destruction because they live day to day with no consideration for long-term effects.

You mean why not make a wholly wooly mammoth?
I've lived liked that as well. Feels terrible man, but at least I made games.
Why need to produce anything when Steam provides them with all the income they ever need. Valve seems like a playground for adults at this point.

I would Clappa you but /. does not support Twitch-faces.
When he can keep deadlines within reason and deliver something that runs pretty well based on the specifications. Anything else is fluff.
And Apple has been a great influencer itself.
