Firewatch and Gone Home donâ(TM)t take much longer to complete than That Dragon, Cancer, and theyâ(TM)ve sold just fine at the same price point
Checking description in the Steam store it says:
An immersive, narrative videogame that retells Joel Greenâ(TM)s 4-year fight against cancer through about two hours of poetic, imaginative gameplay that explores themes of faith, hope and love.
/sarcasm Maybe part of the problem is that a game where you fight against cancer just isn't appealing to the masses. Nah, that can't be it. But let's blame crappy replayability on "Let's Play" videos!
> Once you've watched it, there's no point in buying the game.
You made four mistakes:
One, someone should that to all the Minecraft, Terraria, Fortnite, etc. streamers. Oh wait, maybe because you are _assuming_ that EVERY game can be completed in a few hours with ZERO replayability which is clearly false.
Second, how do you buy a F2P game??? You are assuming "Let's Play" are ONLY for non F2P games, again, which is false.
Third, if a game isn't compelling enough to buy after viewing a "Let's Play" then I have to question what value it provided in the first place.
Forth, you are as assuming that watching someone else play a game is illegal. Gee, if only we had Fair Use. Oh wait, we do! Thank-God it isn't illegal to watch my brother play -- I might buy my own copy of the game. Who knew!
> "Let's plays" actively harm sales and everyone knows it.
[Citation]
Next, you are assuming that everyone who watches a "Let's Play" will never buy it.
Lastly, you are ignoring the fact that pirates buy MORE games so cut the horseshit that free advertising harms sales.

You honestly think that if aliens claim the moon, who have advanced technology that allows for space travel, etc. that they are going to be defeated by a bunch of technology illiterate monkeys, aka humans??? Methinks you have been watching too much Independence Day.

Skype jumped the sharked when they started forcing updates and moving encryption from peer-to-peer to server-side./sarcasm Thanks NSA
For multi-chat our guild has moved off of TeamSpeak over to Discord / Mumble, but I'm not sure what people are using for 1-1 VOIP. What are people using as replacements for Skype?
What's the best way to "move" contacts off an old version, such as 6.x ?
I'm sick and tired of people losing jobs over social posts.
Let me explicitly spell it out for you since you are apologist.
Actions have consequences.
Or do you think you can just say whatever the fuck you want on a social medium and have NO accountability???
> you guys actually wanting these people to be fired
Bullshit. Where did I mention that???
Fact: The person she verbally attacked even APOLOGIZED.
What you are completely clueless about is that the CEO saw her harassing the fans and said this is unacceptable because her behaviour goes AGAINST the company's public image.
> You like the others are just pitchfork carrying lemmings
Lastly, Deroir isn't just any Guild Wars 2 streamer, he is an ArenaNet partner and even has an NPC named after him in the game.He is one of the largest Guild Wars 2 streamers around.
Furthermore, he even apologized BEFORE she was fired.
So much for an open discussion I guess. I meant no disrespect AT ALL. Never did. Never will. Neither did I imply I knew better. Nor has this ANYTHING to do with gender. Never did. Never will. I will retract my comment, cause obviously I'm in the wrong forum for this kind of talk
Frankly, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about.
Price: The kindest thing I can say is "I'm glad he's no longer around to keep doing harm."
Skinner: Who passed?
Price: T*talB*scuit
Who the hell is glad someone died from cancer?!?!?!
2. She was fired from fired from Paizo Publishing for her LONG history of harassment.
3. This is the second time she has been fired from a job for harassment. Mike O'Brien, the president of ArenaNet, called called her bullshit out.
Recently two of our employees failed to uphold our standards of communicating with players. Their attacks on the community were unacceptable. As a result, theyâ(TM)re no longer with the company.
I want to be clear that the statements they made do not reflect the views of ArenaNet at all. As a company we always strive to have a collaborative relationship with the Guild Wars community. We value your input. We make this game for you.
Stupid Juvenile Whiners blame everyone else and never take responsibility.
/sarcasm But keep believing she is a "nice" person.
While I can appreciate the quantity of apps on the App Store it seems somewhere along the lines we lost quality. i.e. I don't care all the Free-to-Play (F2P) race-to-the-bottom-of-the-barrel with shitty Micro-Transactions (MTX) and Hurry-Up-and-Wait gaming.
/sarcasm Gee, if only I had mentioned in the original post that there are enough YouTubers reviewing movies that the general consensus is that most of these movies are shit. Oh wait, I did !
So the article mentioned they are going after adult videos being shared.
However, I'm seeing the opposite effect W.R.T. movies. All the latest crap Hollywood is putting out, such as Stupid Wars: The Latest Junk -- it is SO bad that it isn't even worth pirating in the first place!
Between RedLetterMedia, MauLer, Midnight's Edge, CinemaSins, etc., and other YouTuber "reviewers" these guys will never be out of a job with all the bad movies Hollywood continues to pump out year after year.
> When CDs were introduced, they were hailed as the ultimate audio format
No, they weren't.
In theory it should be sufficient, but in practice 2-channel, 16-bit @ 44 KHz is NOT the ultimate format -- it was simply "good enough" and "cheap enough".
Not all Hi-Fi audio is equal, as Malcolm Hawksford, emeritus professor of electronic systems engineering at Essex University, and author of more than 250 papers on music reproduction, points out:
"There is witchcraft in hi-fi, yes," he said. "People often try experimental designs and get spectacular results, but there are no equations, so it's pseudo science. They don't really know how they've done it. But I doubt that Stradivarius wrote down equations or solved the wave structure in the materials he used. He would have made violins by experiment and finding techniques that work."
Slashdot Mirror
Probably won't happen. The entire airline industry is about:
"How can we make this as miserable experience as we possibly can while we price gouge you for it."
And as one of the comments points out:
Checking description in the Steam store it says:
> "Let's plays" aren't "free advertising",
*facepalm*
> Once you've watched it, there's no point in buying the game.

You're assuming the TSA guys actually work.
Apparently they were only 5 percent effective. Yes, 5%.

It is even worse then that.
Post a "Let's Play" of a current game on YouTube? Nintendo likes to pretend they own it.
Who knew that they would be against FREE ADVERTISING ???
*facepalm*
How about digitally SELLING these old games so people don't have to download them in the first place???
Piracy is NOT a distribution problem -- it is a marketing problem.
Fuck Nintendo's draconian, archaic, position.
> Ghostbusters, I seem to recall got very lukewarm reviews, though I did see it.
Too bad you already wasted your time with that shit movie.
RedLetterMedia does a fantastic job explaining WHY it was a crap movie WITHOUT even discussing ANY "gender" issues.
* Mr. Plinkett's Ghostbusters (2016) Review and
* Half in the Bag Episode 112: Ghostbusters (2016)
I wish these these Stupid Juvenile Whiners would stop hijacking OTHER people's characters and go make their own.
You are forgetting Stupid Juvenile Whiners tactics Rule #4.
4. Never take responsibility
Even worse is the SJW comic bookstore owners insulting customers when they ask if they carry a certain line of comics. /Oblg. #GetWokeGoBroke

There is a 3rd choice. They wouldn't _need_ human slaves because they have far superior technology, so they would leave us alone.
You'll find out in ~2030 which choice they make.
You honestly think that if aliens claim the moon, who have advanced technology that allows for space travel, etc. that they are going to be defeated by a bunch of technology illiterate monkeys, aka humans??? Methinks you have been watching too much Independence Day.

Mod +1 Insightful.
You've nailed every exact same criticism I have as well.
So much potential to be a game changer, squandered.
> where players are strongly incentivized to game the referee
Curious. Care to share more details on how this happens? TIA.
How come there were ZERO changes to the building code afterwards though?
You are the one complaining:
Let me explicitly spell it out for you since you are apologist.

Or do you think you can just say whatever the fuck you want on a social medium and have NO accountability???

Ad hominem fallacy much?
/sarcasm Because under the definition of movie it includes must have dialogue ... oh wait, It does not!
I can only imagine your whining if you watch one of best movies of all time: Baraka (on BluRay):
No plot, no dialogue, no character development yet still one of the best commentaries on the human condition.
You DO realize this is the SECOND time she has been fired for harassing customers, right?
The first time was from Paizo Publishing.
Lastly, Deroir isn't just any Guild Wars 2 streamer, he is an ArenaNet partner and even has an NPC named after him in the game.He is one of the largest Guild Wars 2 streamers around.
Furthermore, he even apologized BEFORE she was fired.

> Or, she's a very pleasant person
False.
1. She was glad that Total Biscuit died. WTF!?
Who the hell is glad someone died from cancer?!?!?!
2. She was fired from fired from Paizo Publishing for her LONG history of harassment.
3. This is the second time she has been fired from a job for harassment. Mike O'Brien, the president of ArenaNet, called called her bullshit out.
Stupid Juvenile Whiners blame everyone else and never take responsibility.
> the case against Kim.Com is mostly just RIAA/MPAA Mafia bullshit, claiming that they lost gazillions of dollars due to "piracy".
Not "mostly just" but IS bullshit.
Where does Piracy show-up in their quarterly financial statements?
While I can appreciate the quantity of apps on the App Store it seems somewhere along the lines we lost quality.
i.e.
I don't care all the Free-to-Play (F2P) race-to-the-bottom-of-the-barrel with shitty Micro-Transactions (MTX) and Hurry-Up-and-Wait gaming.
At least we still have SOME good games left like:
* Fortnite (only has cosmetic MTX)
* Hocus
* The Room
* The Witness
etc.
/sarcasm Gee, if only I had mentioned in the original post that there are enough YouTubers reviewing movies that the general consensus is that most of these movies are shit. Oh wait, I did !

Are people still sharing music? Apps?

No, they weren't.
