So you'll grab a torrent of a hacked up game with viruses, play it all the way through all the while bitching on the forums that it runs like crap, righteously deny the devs payment, and go on to your next theft.
Then you'll bitch because nobody develops for the PC platform anymore.
As a dev and a pc gamer, all I have to say to you is "Fuck off and die, you fucking thief."
It's pathetic that you'll commit a felony for 60 bucks.
We just released a game that has been getting some really nice reviews, and have spent very little on promotion (we don't have any money). Everybody has different tastes. Perhaps your tastes just happen to clash with those of the reviewers you read.
... I'm considering getting out of the business. Let them pirate Madden 25 and bitch about how derivative, unoriginal, and just plain awful it is, as justification for stealing it. The megacorps that crank out sequels are the only ones that can survive when gamers basically rob and shit all over game developers.
... but my FOURTH xbox is starting to flake out, and will probably be dead soon.
I appreciate that they sent me 3 new ones under warranty, but god DAMMIT, a console should last more than a year. I would have thought that by the 3rd one they would have figured out how to manufacture them correctly.
...until I got hooked on Pandora. Then they cut off my free service after 30 hours in a month, and I forked over for a year of full service, which is fairly astounding... I'm a cheap bastard. I have a huge collection of mp3s, but even putting the whole thing in shuffle it just gets old and stale. Pandora throws in new stuff every now and again, and does a good job (for me at least) of predicting what I'll like. Have discovered all kinds of new music this way.
No, I don't work for Pandora, or have any stake in their doing well. I'm just a fanboy.
I've heard of several instances where people re-submitted unchanged apps and had them accepted. I'm guessing apple has a sweatshop somewhere in Asia stocked with marginal english speakers evaluating apps.
... unable to come to the point, loquacious to the point of absurdity, and ultimately telling you nothing at all?
The last time I had voice mail, I just let it fill up. I rarely speak to any of my clients now, unless we are directly troubleshooting things. It took a long time, but I've finally managed to weed out all the ones that could not express themselves in an email or IM.
Emotional content can be conveyed in text, if need be, but it really has no place in the work I do.
... that 2D doesn't: the splitting headache system.
My brother just spawned his first offspring...

...and I have been avoiding calling him. I'm supposed to congratulate him, but I know damn well he's destroyed a really nice lifestyle he had going. I tried getting drunk enough to sound happy, but then became frightened that I'd blurt something heinous.
...you need something like my HP ZD7000. It weighs 9lbs, has a KEYPAD, gets hot enough to cook toast, and will suck the face off your skull if you get too close to the fans.

I think 6/10 is the low limit for anything to get reviewed.

Maybe the military should be making it's OWN components, instead of buying them from the people they have their guns pointed at.
The drives I've seen at theaters have big DHL stickers on them. Dolby would love to have a stranglehold on the delivery, but they do not appear to.

We'll be releasing this in October:

They are robbing us blind because they know we won't do anything till we're starving. At that point, they can just take the money and run.
