I guess that might also depend on where you live. I'm from Croatia, I've got my Bachelor's degree and right now I'm going for the Master's degree (pretty much, I've got no other options, I'm the first generation studying according to Bologna process and I figure it's better safe than sorry).
In a few conversations with potential employers (Ericsson for example), most of them said they would rather employ someone with a Master's then with Bachelor's degree.
Then, there is also the self-motivation and probably self-reward in a higher degree.

1. Good games always sell good. It's a no-brainer conclusion that just seems to evade some game developers. There are numerous cases of games with no or little protection selling quite well despite being easy to pirate.
2. I would even consider buying Demigod if it wasn't a paying bad imitation of DotA. DotA as a map is free. Looking at the amount of content available in a free map (I've had Warcraft 3 and Frozen Throne for years now), Demigod is piss-poor copy with no rational reason to give money for less content.
You've taken a good concept, and tried to make money on it (despite not being able to copy the quality). So, be happy that your game sells at all.

Judge In Pirate Bay Trial Biased 415
maglo writes "The judge who handed down the harsh sentence to the four accused in the The Pirate Bay trial was biased, writes Sveriges Radio (Sweden Public Radio): sr.se (swedish). Google translation. The judge is member of two copyright lobby organizations, something he shares with several of the prosecutor attorneys (Monique Wadsted, Henrik Pontén and Peter Danowsky). The organizations in question are Svenska Föreningen för Upphovsrätt (SFU) and Svenska föreningen för industriellt rättsskydd (SFIR)."

I'm hoping that all these attempts will fail in the test phase. Because the last thing I want is to be denied information because someone else is not capable of protecting themselves due to their stupidity.
