Hello,

Is there any chance I'll see this in the regular app store? (free or otherwise?)

Best,

Seriously.

Well, the develops could exclusively release the game for the PC where they can implement draconian DRM that pisses everyone off...that seems like a good solution...they could probably even do that on the consoles if they wanted to alienate customers the way PC customers are alienated by phone-home DRM...so I guess the problem is the same...so nevermind.

I guess PC is only better for developers because there arn't as many resources for buying/selling used games as there is for console. Its just that pirating is so much easier. So I guess that point is moot too.

I guess I would choose the console market after wall given that used games sales is the "lesser evil" compared to pirating.

Oh well...So developers I say: choose your poison! But you cannot have your cake and eat it too.

BTW, I trust people not not be greedy more than I trust people to not be lazy (and pull their own weight in a community).

I agree, I should have used "massively proliferated", instead of "created".

Hey Zed -
I whole heartedly agree.
I think that the problem is bigger than the open source community. It has a lot to do with today's sense of entitlement that the internet has created.
Today's kids grew up watching their older siblings and parents downloading "free" software and music without understanding the implications of it.

Mod me down for my libertarian views, but not for my desire to earn my living through my own work and not through the work of others.

Not every iPhone/Touch user is a gamer, so the penetration measurement here is significantly skewed.

If you wanted to talk about Market REACH (entirely different metric) then you still couldn't compare since the reach of the other systems is still far greater than what Apple can even have a wet dream for.

Hmm, I can either mod the parent up, or post to get achievement...

Sounds more like Yahoo is cooking the books a little bit to hide some losses, instead (creatively) funneling it into this consulting gig.

"But a loss on the balance sheet is still a loss, right"?

Not exactly, when PR and taxes are concerned.

How does one get the temperature below 0 degrees Kelvin?

Oh the humanity! And everyone is screaming! Their friend (the TV) is out! I might have to talk to people! Honest! My TV's just sitting there! What to do?!

How long will it take to get the installation of the software that I want it to run(correctly) compared with Windows?

I am very seriously interested in Ubuntu, but without software compatibility that is at least as good(as bad?) as Windows, I'll skip it.

In my opinion, You can Bot if you want, but do it on a private server.

This case isn't about how someone changed the game on a personal server, but how a person's actions unfairly impacted the game play experience for thousands (or millions) others.

To that extent, enforcing a EULA in a reasonable manner is a different story than enforcing an unreasonable EULA. So those of you worrying about judgments that hinder society and technology should look instead at the recent copyright awarded to apple.

My Mod points count as much as the user who has shorter id numbers.
