Meh. Now whiole sony and the PS2 was having all the exclusives of GTA, it didnt even make the news... it was "normal". Now Microsoft assures their product with dlc's only for their console and everyone gets pissed? You know how long ive waitied to play Final Fantasy on some other thing that is not a PlayStation Console?
Now one thing is bitching about the exclusivity and one thing is bitching about GFWL... which frankly I dont get your bitching either... if it bothers you so much, then torrent the games... you wont be contributing to their pockets, but you wont miss the game either. Lets see what you all replay to that.
Joe Biden:"Today, I am disclosing a secret location to the american public, 'The secret hideout for the Vice-President's Bunk' underneath the old US Naval Observatory and its--" Aide:Um Sir that is your bunk... Joe Biden:"FML"
true, but if you void the other company's airwaves you still end up the same way. The point is in this case that the OP doesnt want to obey the eula just because he owns the phone.
I own my phone, completely and totally. I can take it to whatever carrier that it will work on. I might not own the airwaves it works on, but the physical phone is mine. Lear to think before you speak. That way people will just assume you are dumb, instead of knowing it.
but if you had no airwaves, that meant that your phone was a useless piece of electrical equipment. so if the airwaves dont allow you to do something and yo ustill doing violating their EULA, you end up with a pretty but useless piece of technology sitting in your hand.
Really, so who is the badass that is going to come and take my copy of Hellire or Diablo II from me? The post you made is retarded, as are EULA that try to say I don't own my games.
And further more... if you don't like the EULA's then don't buy the fucking game, go get an abaccus or better yet get an education and stop being an ignorant cow.
yeah well pony up a couple Million dollars, hire a decent lawyer and take it up to them... Oh wait, you can't... you can only afford a rat cage apartment... I guess you will have to suck it up Bubbo!
Well it sucks for you if you can only afford a rat cage... as for me I live in a very nice luxury apartment... I'm telling you the WORKS... FIOS, whole nine yards... so, no I am not fucking myself, you are.
True, but dont you think at this time and point we are at having total digital distribution for console games could be a next step? Even for PC Games as well.
that happened to me too... I bought it for the wife, it downloaded 99% then stopped, then EA wouldnt let me download it again. I cancelled the purchase... I went to Gamestop and bought it, had all the DRM issues, when to demonoid and downloaded the patch... problem solved.
I was thinking on this the other day. At the time and point we are right now, where we watch streaming movies over Netflix with a paid account or the XboxLive Phenomenon, which you buy the arcade games with points that you want to play, or the PSN Store, its all the same... its about dumping DVD's as a media, and having a whole distribution channel digitally. Everyone that plays a decent game has broadband at their house (frankly if you are on DialUP while at home at this time and age, you should shoot yourself).
This would obviously kill retailers like Gamestop or BB, but then again they could associate themselves with Game Publishers and just push out for Games available only through digital distribution.
Personally I can't wait till consoles do this. I really dont want to get up and drive to a gamestore to buy a $60 game, when I could download it for perhaps a fraction of the cost, because its a digital download.
My only expectations for the Next Generation Consoles, may them be the Xbox, PS3 or Nintendo Franchises is that they come with a big enough HD (1TB no less) and that all games are available through digital distribution like XboxLive or PSN or Steam Provides.
you mean just Rosetta... rosetta stone is a language learning tool. you know the ad "you are an italian farmboy, in love with a supermodel and you only have one chance to impress her"... that is rosetta's stone.
Yup... that was the 1st thought that came to my mind... whatever MS does to tighten the security in windows7 so its less pirated, some joe schmoe in his mom's basement will crack it. Like this dude Orbit30... W7 releases, and Orbit releases a working patch.
This depends... If you are Hacker you will make it work, and it's not difficult, you just have to research up and down a lot. Its difficult not impossible. It didnt take too much time for me because i had already moded a PC to run OSX. On the other hand if you are fat lazy bastard sitting on your mom's basement with no idea how to do it... you will be your biggest challenge. Sure it is more convenient to just go buy a macbook, but for those of us who like to tinker with stuff, this is the best next thing than to build a nuclear reactor in your house yard. Thinking of that I should probably try build me one of those... dont ask me what would happen if I had a meltd,
"I remember the first time I saw one of my apps made available on a pirate site. It was a horrible feeling. I wanted to find and beat the crap out of the guy who made it available."
Dude the day I saw one of my Apps made available on the pirate bay I thought It was pretty cool I was getting FREE Advertising, and honest reviews. My sales went up, and now I own a private Island in the caribbean...
This is outrageous!!! The thought that the empire could do this... think of the consequences....
Seriously though, when I was manager in Crofton, Md, the rule imposed was that: New games couldnt be taken out for two weeks, only USED games were allowed to be taken out...
I dont work there anymore and maybe the Emperor changed the rules, but that is how it was.
The only games that were allowed to be taken home for "checking out" were the console games, because of obvious copyright implications PC Games were not allowed to be used as "checking out games".
buy a mac mini, with alis-vet software... more info here: http://www.informavet.com/
Mac's have the most resilient hardware vs time and performance... If he needs to run his DOS only app, you can use DOSBOX http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 its very easy to script for it.
If you need more help let me know, I wont charge you a cent...
yeah i can see where you go with that... Listen bub, when i was 13 yrs old, my best friend's dad managed to bring his old man to Puerto Rico for 2 weeks... I remember he paid a fortune... anyways, when we drove by our largest shopping mall, the old man asked if those cars were for sale, and my friends father explained to him that people could go there and buy whatever they wanted... That old man cried... that is how broken your "shinning star" of government had this old man... I abhor war, and violence, but if the US invaded cuba and took every single castroist from power that and shot them in the head like dogs.. i would support that... that wuld be the shortest war in history, it would prolly last half a day. SO i seriously hope someone hacks your country and fucks it up, so people there can be free.

this is why I bought the game on the 360...
and then some went to the green demon and got the patch version and VOILA! no drm crap. thank you, next arguement?
you never own games or software, you only pay for a license to use them... so you are not really owning anything.
