Some languages are way too complex and cumbersome, and this is being pushed about as something being 'good', or 'pro'.
whereas, in regard to practicality of applied sciences, engineering, realities of the production environment, this is BEYOND stupid to even propose. production environments need easy to use, simple, fast, fluid languages.
you can also keep your games. it downloads to a bare directory to install. it asks you whether it should delete the directory, or let it stay after installation. you can choose to zip it into a dvd. it doesnt require any kind of internet connection while installing.
they arent drmed. majority of the titles. even in drmed ones i have had no issues, their drms are rather mild compared to what ea, ubisoft tries to push. of course these brand's titles are still drmed as their originals.
digital download. permanent. always there. nothing less.
gamersgate.com works great. i have a hoard of games there. no client, no strings attached, you download, install, play. then you may delete the game. if you later on want to play it again, you just download it again. no client, no strings attached, dl, install, play. rinse and repeat. all games permanently stay in your account as accessible.
also very cheap. they make huge sales. apparently online distributors can afford to sell prime time titles from $3 (with loyalty discount - depends on member status, it hits in between $3-10 for prime games).
what this has over steam is, it doesnt need a client, hence no mods etc will have issues, and difference with direct2drive is, gamersgate is much cheaper.
as you see, i counted 3 major online digital distributors... didnt even need to mention countless smaller ones. so, digital downloads can be said to come at last.
so why monopolies exist in fields where government doesnt grant monopolies ? why every other shampoo, cleaning liquid, material you buy has a different brand, but when you look at the producer, it comes up as procter&gamble for example ? only morons fall for the 'different branding' illusion. a few megacorporations control the root products in every sector. and procter&gamble example is one of the ones which is doing it honestly too, not hiding their ownership of production or production subsidiaries through numerous intermediate companies that throw those who track them off.
that is irrelevant. all the isps would be free to dominate their infrastructure as they want it. with whomever has to use their infrastructure too. the problem is this. not a few corporations dropping 1-5% price or not.
yeah. at least, the political decision machine AND the people running it, have legal responsibilities and obligations towards me. you can even request state secrets with a FOIA application, but, you can not request anything from a megacorporation. they will reply 'trade secret', and it even tramples state secret defense in courts.
private is private. its owned by OTHER people. you cannot do anything against it. public means, publicly owned. EVERYONE has an inalienable right on it.
wow 'fierce' competition. really, is there ? microsoft dominates a certain segment of market, apple the other. both try to dominate customers, and often get fined due to their restrictive behavior.
not only that, software market is totally different than other markets, in that if you have an app made for a certain platform, you are stuck with it, for aeons. you cant change it. there are still many banks using as400.
whereas on ALL other fields of life, megacorporations dominate everything.
its really capitalism, corporationism that doesnt work. we will be free of these issues once people like you realize that.
huh ? especially when these and 2 other companies hold almost all american backbone infrastructure in their own hands ? and for some reason, they are acting in unison. gee. i wonder why that is.
really. who will protect the consumer from their stranglehold ? 'invisible hand' of the market ? fairies ? what do you do when 4 companies hold an entire nation hostage, act together ? wait for 4-5 years for a new backbone provider to come up ? do you have that time ? and dont bullshit me about 'competition' by the way - it has never been a reality in between mega companies at the very top. they always act in conjunction.
'principles'. it is apparent that you have no foot in providing/isp/hosting business.
justifying taking down an entire blog service because there are 2-3 blogs that do not comply with the law, is something only morons can do. i would go on to explain delicacies of hosting,isp, providing sectors, and how shutting down thousands of customers for such a reason is beyond justification, but, i will spare myself the effort. since you have taken the time to get out of your way to reply like this, you can also research for yourself. have a nice day.
things wouldnt change for a less known band if they signed up with a label. if they are less known, label will fuck them more, their terms will be harsher. if they are better known, lighter. it is as simple as that. its relative. in either case, it is better for bands to sell their own stuff.
these were 2 major pillars of starcraft that contributed to its success. dont falter on that. if you dont, razor1911 or skidrow will probably fix the lan play issue but you need to give us the chat.
let me talk from a non tech affluent customers' mouth : i dont know about these androids and ioses. give me a phone that wont go brick on me whatever i do.
thats whats happening in the market i am at least.
shove your fucking product, up your ass. let me wake you up to a very important point of free market :
CUSTOMER MAKES THE DECISIONS. NOT YOU. ITS THE RULE OF FREE MARKET.
it is as fucking simple as that. we do not care about your woes, your problems, your issues, what you can give, what you cannot give, what rights you think that we deserve, what rights you think that you deserve, this or that.
if you dont give us what WE want, we wont buy your product. you dont even need to 'not sell' your brick to us.
Fifth, i dont buy it, and they shove it up their ass.
i dont care about their problems. i am the customer, i make the decisions. i decide upon what i want. not what they want or they can give. if they cannot provide me what they want, what's left for them involves their product, and their ass.
i am buying a DEVICE from you. that is a mobile phone. i am not buying a device AND a software. i dont care about your reasons, your justifications, your logic, this that and shit. if you force me to anything after BUYING a device, i will fuck it and do what i want. if there is no possibility of doing that, i wont buy your product, and you can gleefully shove it up your ass.
how do you like this as the opinion of customers ? distasteful isnt it ? well, you asked for it.

out of the approx 15 games i have on gg now, only 2 has drm. and they are simple securom and shit. nothing that anyone cant handle.
they arent drmed. majority of the titles. even in drmed ones i have had no issues, their drms are rather mild compared to what ea, ubisoft tries to push. of course these brand's titles are still drmed as their originals.

as if that wasnt sick enough, they expect you to drink expensive bear from it .... i dont know which is sicker.

do NOT host anything with burstnet. leave aside a server on their infrastructure, not even a single site.
guy. you still miss the point.
things wouldnt change for a less known band if they signed up with a label. if they are less known, label will fuck them more, their terms will be harsher. if they are better known, lighter. it is as simple as that. its relative. in either case, it is better for bands to sell their own stuff.

why i am so emotional about it, and why i am throwing insults like a 12 year old.
freedom, maybe ? that is what what they are doing makes me feel.
non tech affluent people here, are having tech affluent people hack their phones.
enough trolling. youre not even succeeding at it. fuck off.
let me talk from a non tech affluent customers' mouth : i dont know about these androids and ioses. give me a phone that wont go brick on me whatever i do.
thats whats happening in the market i am at least.
hmmmm. how about the below for an approach :
...
shove your fucking product, up your ass. let me wake you up to a very important point of free market :

it is as fucking simple as that. we do not care about your woes, your problems, your issues, what you can give, what you cannot give, what rights you think that we deserve, what rights you think that you deserve, this or that.
if you dont give us what WE want, we wont buy your product. you dont even need to 'not sell' your brick to us.
say bye bye to your market share
Fifth, i dont buy it, and they shove it up their ass.
i dont care about their problems. i am the customer, i make the decisions. i decide upon what i want. not what they want or they can give. if they cannot provide me what they want, what's left for them involves their product, and their ass.
put items into your contracts requiring that your employers give references for you in regard to the nature and quality of the work you have done.
i am buying a DEVICE from you. that is a mobile phone. i am not buying a device AND a software. i dont care about your reasons, your justifications, your logic, this that and shit. if you force me to anything after BUYING a device, i will fuck it and do what i want. if there is no possibility of doing that, i wont buy your product, and you can gleefully shove it up your ass.
how do you like this as the opinion of customers ? distasteful isnt it ? well, you asked for it.
no. i can just find and acquire an ambiguous patent or copyright vaguely relevant to your content and then shut you down with it.
oh yeah, the 'possibility' of going to court. the courts in which the one with more money gets more justice, all in 'free' and free market fashion.
so what happens in the end ? it stays down. period. at least, in china, there isnt a storefront and a facade.
