GTA: SA was the best-selling console game of 2004, despite only being published on one platform at the time. Are we seriously expected to believe major retailers will forever keep the evil, evil GTA games off their shelves? Why should Rockstar Games/Take Two?

It's not entirely like the stock market; when's the last time someone hacked the stock market and duped or removed some stocks?
It's a REALLY bad idea because of its fundamental lack of security.
I could listen to the OST to Final Fantasy 6 for hours. Same for Chrono Trigger. Those games had rich soundtracks. It's good to see some modern games still have "the touch" when ti comes to making great gaming music.
Why stop there? Why rely on some nanny entity to tell you what to do about a game? I, for one, believe that the parents should take an active interest in the products they are purchasing for their kids and know for themselves the "rating" a game should have.
Either that or it needs to be a crime to NOT enforce the ESRB ratings. Otherwise, you have a useless system that only gives vague definitions of what a game contains, if even that.
for the ESRB. It is both outdated and, quite frankly, useless in our society. It must now realize it's obsolescence or fail spectacularly as more and more games get higher ratings and still maintain incredible sales - as the core of the problem likes in the RETAILERS and the PARENTS and not in the rating itself.
Do you honestly believe the parents who bought a rated M game for their 5-year old will even scoff at buying an AO game? Especially when their kids start claiming "XXXXX down the street got it from HIS dad!"

When exactly did buying a game rated "M" - for people of 17 years or older - seem like a good parenting decision to you?

The real kicker is they have so many lawyers they would probably win somehow
An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind - the solution to griefing shouldn't be griefing (your "handling") the griefers.

>_ okay I don't know how I missed that. I could do without the condescending tone however.
these percentage increases imply that about 200,000 Windows users So which is it, 400k or 200k?
If it's a sequel shouldn't it be called a sucessor or perhaps heir? Sibling implies this was created at the same time as BF1942
The RPG on the Genesis was so good (honestly, I'm surprised there wasn't a sequel sooner), why change a winning formula?
The concept of "Space Goatse" both intrigues and terrifies me.
That's neat. Now post the average response time for MS security fixes - I need a good laugh.
Three cheers for efficient open-source response to bugs.
I'm sure there's plenty of fat guys wearing muu-muus browsing /. to save us should anything happen.
Unfortunately, the elusive "???" part is what keeps eluding most editors.

WebMD is the worst thing to come along for Hypocondriacs since pneumoconiosis and other sesquipadelian afflictions.
