CCP currently has over six hundred employees spread across three international offices who are developing three videos games. They made commitments to strategic partners. That all amounts to many deep promises to keep. The subscriptions from EVE Online pays for the development of all three games.
Incarna was designed to introduce the EVE to a new generation of potential EVE players. A bold new universe that would appeal to gamer whom want to see their character avatars and apparently would put real dollars to purchase pixel apparel for the prices that are greater than the tangible goods located in the in online merchandise shop. CCP upper management sought the professional opinions of game industry consultants outside of the player community and company.
So with the advice of such esteemed outsiders it seems that pixel Monocles for $68 dollars would sell and it understandable that the playerbase emo rages and mass cancel subscriptions now. Let them blew off some steam. No need to communicate. Eventually everyone will drink the cool aid and buy the designer pants that CCP owns on their servers
Betting the farms on pixel Monocles and pants like this... It's just crazy.
I am spiritual but I don't agree with religion but that is beside the point.
I do wholeheartly agree with freedom of religion and freedom of speech. More frequently corporations and special interest groups manipulate and create laws to gain power and control over public rights while exploring ways for the taxpayer to pay for it.
How is Best Buy right to claim that citizens do not have the right to put a logo on a Volkswagen. How does a corporation own any combination of words "x + squad". It simply does not.
It would be interesting if Volkswagen sent Best Buy a cease and desist order to stop using the Beattle to promote Geek Squad (unless Best Buy pays Volkswagen an exorbitant amount of licencing fees)
Allow you mind to stroll a bit and dream up a very pleasurable scenario... the android user need not to dream because he or she is doing... and the more daring ones are recording or streaming. Android users are too busy having sex and strutting confidently to even notice a survey. =P
Hey let's say something retarded happened and this one slipped thru, then I will have do what the original constitution told me to do or defect to Canada.
"Are Marines Censoring Web Access for Troops in Iraq?" = Oxymoron Question.
Think Military here.
Marines willingly waive their own freedoms as citizens of the US upon signing their enlistment contract to protect the freedoms of others. Therefore with the consent and rights waived well in advance, the correct term for restricting access to information or certain usage of Military resources is "Security".
There's also many other reasons why this is not "censorship" when it's directed toward Military and I would suggest to call upon a Marine to explain why.
I'm not paying more than $150 Dollars for a Console and I'm certainly no longer interested paying for packaging when electronic media can now be delivered via availible high speed networks. My buck stops here.
That's a young assistant professor creatively rehashing something like a "Clockwork Orange" point of view and putting on a straight face for the media while feeding his view to the masses as a "discovery".
By "associating" a relative concept about human behavior that can be applied to any situation with a popular interest such as gaming he conjured "news", discovered a capacity for showmanship and a vehicle to further his academic career + prestige.
Here's a fine exmaple of how lame the "study" was:
"allowances to send an unpleasant, loud blast to their defeated opponents." was suggested as an option for behavoir within the instance of the research. Preperations were obviuosly made to make this possible. The article exludes if this was an idea initaited by the Gamers.
Gaming doesn't make one more prone to become violent. People have been throwing stones for ages!

Just imagine if LAPD pulled that on the person who filmed the Rodney King incident.
Awesome way for a government to send it's country back to the stone ages.
From now, I as a consumer will not subscribe any services from any company that seeks to limit the internet or interfere with neutrality.
That will be my contribution to maintaining internet neutrality.
I banned LiveJournal from my life a while ago.
livejournal = obsolete
How much for a Media Drive connected to a Hard Drive and Graphics Card controlled by a simple input controller that can do only a few things ?! ...
Then paying over $49 US for fancy packaging for each title.
Something seems n0t right.

The Military is not a democracy.

Dear Lemmings,
It's been great driving us around aimlessly but I think it's about time I cashed out. Thank you.
Sincerly,
