a lot of the newer generation games are open "world" environments. They could potentially be played for a human's entire life because they are fully open ended.
Funny story about that. I've beaten Oblivion twice (which shows just how little a life I have...), yet yesterday I came upon a whole town that I had no clue exsisted. I didn't even rush through those previous games!
Well, when you only buy 2 or 3 games a year like me, it's a lot better to buy the games themselves. That way, I don't have to pay $15/month for the same game. Even if all those individual games cost $60, it comes out ahead for me.
So I guess it'll take quite a long time for me to realize what you said.:)
If they were buying 3-4 video games a month, the video game industry might have more of a problem than MMORPGs taking money. If games are so short and unreplayable that people have to buy games that often, then something seriously needs to be rethought.
In the meantime, I'll just stick with Nethack and Battle for Wesnoth:)
Tell them that if you don't get your credit card watched, you're going to burn the place down. Burn it to the ground, and then take a vacation in some far off tropical place.
I'm fairly certain that this will be read by a number of people who think that corporations and corporate behavior are inherently "evil", and that the larger a company or business interest is, the more "evil" it is and indeed must be by definition, which is an awfully one-sided and half-blind way to look at corporations.
The whole purpose of a business is to take money. How is that not evil?
Now what do you think the chances of those same government execs meeting with someone who can't brib- I mean pay for the government officials' lunches?

A lot of people perfer to be able to have a physical copy of the data. What happens if Windows melts down and you lose your downloaded game?
Do you really think companies will just resend the game over without a charge? That bandwidth must be payed for somehow.

Yeah, that's another reason why it needs to be rethought.

I guess they are intelligently designed?
They'd probably run the country better too...
Hey man, if your penis has multiple heads, you might wanna get that checked...
So that means you didn't surrender, but defeated them.
Atleast in battle. The war is still raging.
Elections are coming up.
"Damnit Jones! You altered the race event by observing it!"
There have been no communist countries.
What do you have against Chicago?

No, that cure is already known.
I think www.debian.org might have some information on how to cure the disease known as MS.
All he said was "LOL!" and he was modded up as informative? Damn. I'll try it.
The next stage of the research is to work out how to make the glass stable at room temperature and pressure.
ROFL!
Or Cowbell Hero.
When you do bad, that guy's face shows up and yells out "WE NEED MORE COWBELL!"
And the children with no limbs in Iraq.
Uhm yeah. They would be getting money no matter what if someone left WoW for WoS.
If we don't want it to pass, all we gotta do is say that homosexuals will be able to marry.
I'm a Westerner and I'm happy.

I remember playing around with either Open or Free BSD on a live CD a while ago.
Search those sites, and I'm sure you'll find it.
Guess Oklahoma will be pushing the Military out of their borders now too.
