We're already slowly but surely working on anti-matter weaponry and high-energy weaponized lasers. We'll be able to obliterate and/or lase the surface of the planet likely before anyone else.
You can make quite the argument in court that products of this nature need to come with a warranty of some sort, given that improperly made they can cause possible issues with the proper functioning of one's property and that tying that warranty to a service like origin or steam is illegal, and in fact the product should be unbundled from such restrictive software so that the publishers and game creators can be properly held liable.
The DOOM WADs you get are totally incompatible with 1.666 or 1.9 original DOOM, making the use of these WADs for multiplayer pretty much impossible unless you happen upon someone running the exact same WAD version.
"What really annoys me is the absolute limit of what I can do to these bastards is not give them money."
Son, this is the United States. Sue the fuck out of them like I did.
I won pretty easily, go find yourself a competent lawyer.
And go read the Anti-tying provisions of the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act while you're in that lawyer's office.
How many EA products can you find that could reasonably match that violation of anti-tying provisions? (I'll give you a hint, any single-player game that REQUIRES an online connection.)
You must not actually work with any flight sims or real FPS games with independent cameras for each section of the FOV. These work just fine. And no, you don't have to sit right up against the screen. You just need a monitor wide enough.
I mean, obviously I would if I COULD, but really I'd see myself using one monitor for gaming, another monitor for a movie, and the other for live streaming porn!
This idiotic firm is quite simply a group of terrorists using the law to scare people.
What needs to happen is these assholes need to get not only an anti-SLAPP suit filed against them, and get them declared vexatious litigants, but also have terrorism charges brought upon them as well. There is a clear threat for political motivation. It is terrorism, pure and simple.
These total morons need to be exterminated by the very system they seek to abuse.
Hey, Prenda, don't like my comments? Yea, I'm on Die Troll Die, bring it. I'll give you the same treatment I gave Electronic Arts in the courtroom. Trust me, that wasn't pretty for them, and it won't be for you.
My info is quite public, if you want the most recent, go ahead, look it up RIF1200346 Riverside California court system. You can get my updated information there.
You could probably get the same stuff done on half the hardware if the engine were properly optimized and things were written closer to machine-code level.

$2? My last suit against EA netted every single participant that wasn't class-leader $250. Us class-leaders (5 of us) got substantially more.
It's false advertisement, no matter how you put it.
Well, the gun Dolphins won't be too much of a danger unless they're right on you, thanks to underwater ballistics.
The knifers, oh shit.
No need to worry about lasers. Attenuation underwater is a bitch.
No harder to do than any other multi-package server board.
Only in single-threaded tasks. You get into multi-threaded and AMD begins to win outright.

Easy, he's talking out of his ass!
"The game appeared worth some minor annoyances here and there."
I see you forget what fucking publishing company you're dealing with.
Last time they tried any really restrictive DRM (Spore) I had to sue the fuck out of them for damage their shitware caused to my computer.
"I have a hell of a time finding Model M keyboards. "
Goodwill is where I've found all of mine.

Modern? None. Doom and Quake have modifications that allow for it, as I think Doom 3.
It's been a story here on slashdot, oh n00b. McQuown vs Electronic Arts.
Nope, slashdotted.
And yet again someone quotes XKCD without having a clue what they're talking about.
So in other words, we're opening mini servers, which many ISPs forbid on non-business-class connections.

Now get to work.
You must not actually work with any flight sims or real FPS games with independent cameras for each section of the FOV. These work just fine. And no, you don't have to sit right up against the screen. You just need a monitor wide enough.
They already make HD wrap-around screens for that.

So unsuitable yet 4chan seems to run on mac minis just fine, eh?

"Memphis Light Gas and Water have been laying cables with fiber optic cores since the 1970s"
And you'll never get a piece of that considering MLGW vbuilt that for their own measurements/price control.
Hi, I used to work for MLGW for a tiny period of time as a subcontractor.
But it's still in the market so it counts.
