The Activision smartphone, it would be open.
With a monthly subscription
And the Activisionstore.

And of those PC games, I suspect at least half involved lawsuits with the development studio, or non-lawsuit but nonetheless screwing the development studio.

Yeah, that's mostly true, but the junker class including a lot of industrialists did put a lot of weight behind them in Germany, thinking the nazis could be easily manipulated... The only thing that saved Schacht from the rope was his being such a complete moron (and if anything proved that it was his attempts at intriguing to get the nazis in power so he could keep them on a short leash for the junker cause... yeah).

Oh, yeah, that sucks.
It's also generally considered a gamer fashion faux pas ;)

The corporations bankrolled both world wars and the rise of fascism.

2Dboys did manage to get World of Goo on wiiware, but it was well after the game sold like hotcakes with free ponies on PC/Mac/Linux.

I'm not sure I'd bet 100$ on that. They're already putting the non-terran campaigns as expansions in SC2, I'm fully waiting for other weird moves of the sort.

Get mods

Suddenly have even more playtime out of the game

All you get on consoles are the DLC the studios give out when they're willing to throw a bone at you.
Oh, and if the game is buggy (e.g. Oblivion) forget about unofficial patches on console.

Monsanto, obviously, given that they were already an enormous multinational that made its wealth on chemicals anyway.

17% of Earth is the entire African continent, just saying.

If the food you eat carries with it this sort of legal liability, it's unsafe from a social point of view, no matter how biologically sound it might be.

People do not, indeed, get a BS.
Because it's a BSc in Economics.

To be fair, the idea that GM foods will feed the world any more than other methods being experimented, like some of the modern no-till methods, is still very much arguing the consequent :p
