I think the real reason "why?" is because as "geeks" showing that something can be done in spite of someone saying that it can not be done, or to prove that our limit is only our imagination.
Uh, I think he just did. By maintaining a closed DRM and refusing to license it and manufacturing the only hardware that supports it, Apple has established a monopoly on the online music market just as surely as Microsoft has on the OS market.
Sorry there is nothing "sketchy" about it seeing how the sytem not held in secret and was not disclosed to the public how the basic system was to work. Do not confuse a "closed" system with being sketchy.
I also seem to recall that was not out apple but Napster basically saying "Hey I put all my eggs in one basket and its the baskets fault I did this." Now that is a "sketchy business prectice."
I think I will have to "get used to it" by now having to find out if there are in game ads or not. If I am paying I do not want ads.
Yes I am the guy that hardly goes to the movies anymore and always ask for a refund when I see a commercial at the theater.
You clearly did not even read what you quoted. Go back and read it again.
Star Wars Galaxies was changed for the betterment of the game in the eyes of Sony Entertainment Online and Lucasfilm.
This was clearly not him thinking it was changed for the better, but that the "change" was thought to be for the best of the game in the eye os SOE and LucasFilms.

MMOGs Branch Out
·
· Score: 1
They only mention it in sales table, but Guild Wars is one of the best selling MMORPGs because it has no monthly fee.
Well thats because its not really a MMORPG, but a clone of Diablo, yes I own both and I play both so I know what I am talking about. So quit being a marketing moron and passing along false information about this being a MMORPG. I would call it an OPRG.
Well I have stopped buying AE games at least on the PC due to the problems that have been reported with Sims2 and the game not running when you have legal cd/dvd burning software installed.
I think the loss of revenue is not any one thing but many things adding up, such as the law suits for developers not being paid for overtime, lazy rehashed titles being pushed out the door that are clearly beta and had not been tested, and many others that other posters will be kind enough to post about.
Just because we currently get talent points all the way to 60, does not mean that we have to keep getting them with a possible level raise to what ever level. We do not get the first talent point until level 10 anyway.
Ok I am not able to visit any of the links from work "silly firewall and all" but I agree that it would not be all these things mentioned.
I think that if they do raise the max level to something other than 60 that these levels will be more linked to a hero class/rank or something of the sort. They may also be normal levels but minus the talent point with each level. The latter will not mess with the balance as much as a 31/31/4 distro of points.
Wonder who wrote this trojan? Could it be a certain company that doesn't want you loading unauthorized software?
Careful do not want to give then too much credit.
[i]o you can't get a raid party of villians gathered up and have a huge super-battle against a bunch of hero characters ala Horde vs Alliance?
that's lame, what's the point of the game then?[/i]
The point is not having to be forced to do PvP
I would love to go to the Apple if I could build my own machine instead of being locked into what they want me to have.
You must also be the same person that grows your own cotton to make your clothes so you are not locked into what levi says jeans are to be made.
But I'll always crave a Mac.
All I can say to everyone that says this put up or shutup.
I can not say that BSG is the best sci-fi since this is a remake of the old one. Yes the special effects are nice and pretty, but the story is still the same. Just watch in a few years everyone will be tired of them trying to find earth and always just barely getting away from the cylons.
Slashdot Mirror
huh I thought twitter was succession of light chirping sounds, go figure
Yeap spoken just like a at&t supervisor.
There is also the fact that many players helped collect data with the thottbot mod to basically collect and update data for them.
Just remove anythying that would offend anyone or any group. :P

I guess flamebait is the new "funny"

Can you provide examples of their "sketchy business practices" as you have put it?
Also there is the aspect that to get on a US server you need an IP from the US.

I no more chose to be straight than a gay person chose to be gay now everyone should see this as a flamebait

I just wonder how many Tax $$$$ was wasted on this study.

Just glad it does not look like a george forman grill like the PS3 does.
Yeah this is not news in anyway, I even quit watching this crap before the first "clip" was even finished.
I thought the thowsand was because the guy was lazy, and the there/their was because they couldn't spell.
