It's very dangerous to rebrand because of how much you lose vs how much you gain. IBM makes bugger all money from "International Business Machines" these days but they wouldn't want to lose a brand everyone knows. Same for "Carphone Warehouse" in the UK, they don't want to lose the recognition despite the fact no-one has called a cell/mobile phone a car phone in 2 decades.
And Microsoft's stuff certainly isn't small. (*sidesteps hook*)
So despite the lack of "Radio" as their main business, they should REALLY look and see if the number of people who say "I don't need a radio I won't go there" might be outnumbered by the people who will end up saying "What the f is "The Shack"?". It sounds like somewhere you'd buy a very dodgy Hawaiian style shirt.
Exactly, I stopped looking at their stuff for the same reason I stopped looking at EAs and for the same reason I buy very few PC games that aren't £10 or from gog.com. It's a f'ing hassle to get legal copies running.
The above post is complete fiction unless the US retail price is $40US.
Nah, you're not technically linking to the article until someone reads it so we're fine.
Or more accurately, one of them is. Rob Grant is still not involved.
Good thing no-one lives outside the US and has internet then really isn't it?
Or in the case of Slitherlink, and the other excellent games they NEVER F'ING RELEASE in Europe, given the choice between not playing a game and playing a game...
Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it.
