Yeah, let's spread some shit that might maybe one day in a few years make four or five people sick. Fucking FUCK I wish I could stab dipshits like you in the throat over the internet.
If someone wants you gone, they fucking shoot you in the face with a shotgun. They don't inject you with some shit and then hope that sometime, 2-5 years from now, you get kind of sick and maybe die a few years after that. Seriously dude, that's some pretty fucking stupid stuff.
No, it's not. You don't make 'sudden alterations' to licensed engines. It does NOT work that way, and if they TRIED to do some stupid shit like that you can bet your balls that they'd have an antitrust suit on their hands before they hung up the phone.
So what you're saying is that even though you're sure you'll hate it after a week, you're fucking stupid enough to buy it anyway? That does wonders for your credibility, you know?
Oh yeah, typing 'objecting' when I meant to type 'subjecting' is a totally horrible offense. Sweet merciful goatfuck, someone rape my eyesockets for bringing forth this horror unto the Lord Slashdot!
You too may suck my balls.
Nothing of a technical nature? No shit. I'm not a programmer. Excuse me for not jizzing all over programming manuals. I have better things to do than get sexually excited over the latest gcc release. You, an anonymous pussy, want to complain about my posting history? Gimme a fucking break. How about this... grow a pair of balls, login, THEN start talking shit. You can say whatever you want about me, but goddammit don't be a fucking pussy about it.
Criterion uses Renderware in their own software, correct? Development costs are recouped through their own game sales. Licensing fees from other companies are basically free money. Try to explain to me exactly how free money is bad.
Okay, they cut everyone off. Know what? THEY WILL GO BACK TO USING THEIR OWN SHIT OR LICENSING SOMEONE ELSE'S. Christ in a blender there are some fucking idiots around here. You know, fuckface, not every goddamned company is so fucking childish that they would throw away a cash cow to spite competitors. Please, do me a favor, go play with some acid. Preferably something deadly.
Alright, this is kinda lame, but it involves pain so it's cool.
I was playing my newly purchased Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side (best Sega CD fighter EVER) and noticed our TV screen was extremely dusty. I start wiping it off with my hand, ignoring the static electricity as usual. About three passes later out of nowhere fucking WHAM! I get shocked to fuck and back. Idiot me was still holding the fucking controller. Mass amounts of static electricity and something that's grounded don't work together well, you know? My arm spasmed so hard that the controller flew out of my hand and dented the bookcase I was sitting in front of. I had some severe arm pain for several hours afterwards, and it was sore for days afterwards from the damn spasm.
I expected my controller to be dead, but it wasn't. I figured that much of a charge running through it would be enough to 0wn an IC or some shit, but it worked just fine.
Only a total hardnut dorkass would go to so much trouble to solve a problem that is easily fixed by a few well-placed bits of rubber. I either commend you or cast you into the nether-realms of total fucking losers, I can't decide which.:\
Your post makes the sides of my brain want to jump out of my head through my ears and strangle me for objecting it to such total fucking stupidity. EA may be big, but they didn't get to be big by being idiots. Tell me what possible good could come from EA fucking with Renderware. Unlike you, EA has a brain and uses it. Criterion develops one of the most popular console game frameworks available. You think EA bought them to crush competitors? Fuck no. They bought them to make money off those yummy licensing fees. There isn't any 'fight against EA' other than the one dipshits think exists because, you know, EA is all big and evil and stuff, and we can't have big companies because... ummm... hey, look, a turtle...
Okay, EA is big. What the fuck does that have to do with pricing? If they charge too much, companies just won't use Renderware. *SHOCK!* *SURPRISE!* Most companies don't use it anyway. Please, spread your stupidity elsewhere. Slashdot has enough already.
So fucking what? It's not like Renderware is the only platform out there. It would be really fucking stupid for EA to do anything but what Criterion has been doing all along.
They do have a lifespan. Read more about patents. Unisys started going ape shit because their patent was about to expire and they figured they'd get some money while they could.
Is it just me, or are scientists trying to make science fit the theory?
It's just you. Scientists come up with a theory, then try to find out whether it is true or not. What you're describing is best referred to as pseudoscience, willfully bending facts and evidence to support one's own version of the truth. This is not real science. This is not trying to come up with an explanation to a problem. This is the equivalent of a conspiracy theorist being presented with papers that refute one of his theories, then writing those papers off as PART OF the conspiracy. It's idiocy at its finest.

It's been that way for decades. More inventions = more patents.
No, it's not. You don't make 'sudden alterations' to licensed engines. It does NOT work that way, and if they TRIED to do some stupid shit like that you can bet your balls that they'd have an antitrust suit on their hands before they hung up the phone.

Hey, wow, that's a lot of companies that can tell EA to go fuck themselves with an iron stick if a screwover is attempted.
There are times to engage in real debate and there are times to tell someone to suck your balls. That was obviously the latter.
Criterion uses Renderware in their own software, correct? Development costs are recouped through their own game sales. Licensing fees from other companies are basically free money. Try to explain to me exactly how free money is bad.
What's your point? One in four games is 25%. Powering 500 games? And how many games has it NOT powered?
Seriously, this is press release bullshit. Find me some real numbers or shut the fuck up.
Okay, they cut everyone off. Know what? THEY WILL GO BACK TO USING THEIR OWN SHIT OR LICENSING SOMEONE ELSE'S. Christ in a blender there are some fucking idiots around here.

Armstrong? Everyone hates him. Okay, not really. Only the French cycling pussies hate him because he makes them look like the pansy-asses they are.
So fucking what? It's not like Renderware is the only platform out there. It would be really fucking stupid for EA to do anything but what Criterion has been doing all along.
And more importantly, would immediately lead to the disuse of Renderware as a platform.
Because, as we all know, there are no unencrypted formats but those made by Microsoft. Fucking idiot.
Well retorted, Mr. Gas Station Clerk.

Individuals doing so is corruption, a city/county/state website allowing anyone and everyone to advertise is just... advertisement.
Yeah, Tom's Lawn Care and Mower Repair is a huge fucking corporation, isn't it? Grow a brain before posting, fuckwad.
