[...] real money auction houses are a bad idea...
Some of us knew this a long, long time ago. I have to admit, I'm feeling terribly smug right now.

Clever, but it just means that they've lost a segment of the market; the segment that plays a game in pirated form before buying it. Good luck winning that audience back at the expense of trying to make people who will NEVER pay feel bad.
Normally I'd agree, but for an $8 game it's more a clever joke that makes me curious about the studio and its other offerings.
Has the term "cracked" recently been redefined?
Why, are you some pirate hacker?!
So certainly they will want to try it before they buy it. But if they like it and their friends like it, they will likely buy it if they can afford it.
Just like how only people who truly need it will take welfare. It has nothing to do with the fact that many people feel that they deserve to get "free" stuff just for being born.
Spoken like a person who has never known the shame of needing a little help just to make ends meet. I don't know if that really describes you, but if you believe most people getting living or food assistance are just entitled moochers, you are mistaken.
You pirated the article, think of the developers!
Information wants to be paid!
Let's just tax entropy.
I was going to suggest this but then I thought, nah fuck it.
I tend to think of it as a Slashdot community filled with raging Gods
I guess you still qualify as new here. If you pay more attention you'll see that's nonsense.
We can communicate instantly to any point in the world. We can see what happens in New York, Beijing, and Sydney in real time. We can fly, traveling faster than sound itself. We create and manipulate life on a chromosomal level. We discern the rotation, size and composition of planets in distant galaxies. We can obliterate this planet on a whim.
We are the gods of our ancestors; petty, jealous gods with power rivaled only by each other. All that we lack is the faith of our ancestors, faith in their gods, faith in ourselves and one another. Faith is a tool all atheists should embrace, because without it, we are nothing.
Supanatural is hilarious. It's like a Venture Brothers take on the show Supernatural (and the like), but with female leads. It's a little rough around the edges, but I would absolutely tune in to that every week.
FWIW, it's produced by comedian Kristen Schaal, of 30 Rock, The Daily Show, Bob's Burgers. If you like any of those shows, you should give it a shot.

It's crystal skull o'clock.
That might be because you were arguing for a bill that would limit our rights in the story about a bill that is going to limit our rights.
If you want universal background checks to pass and CISPA, not to pass, you are being logically inconsistent with respect to citizen's constitutional rights.
Please explain how applying background checks, already in place for brick-and-mortar weapon sales, to online and gunshow weapon sales limits your constitutional rights. I have yet to hear a rational, fact-based explanation to this assertion.
I'm always surprised the USA isn't full of hairdressers, middle managers and telephone sanitizers.
Isn't it?
If it's anonymity you want, there's software for that. Anonymity online hasn't ever been guaranteed unless you take some steps to ensure that.
There's a vast difference between anonymity not being guaranteed and having every detail CCed directly to TPTB. There's also something to be said for NOT fetishizing security, particularly for people wrestling with personal shame.
in fact, the non-"anal probe"* companies will object to this variant.
Your mistake is in thinking that there *are* any of those
It isn't that they don't exist, it's that they aren't large and powerful enough to be heard (since they care more about quality of goods and services than naked profit). Time to activate the phone tree...
I don't see EA on that list. No anal-probe industry is complete without the kind hand of Electronic Arts.
EA has no interest in sharing private info. They only sell/capitalize on it.
How is getting targeted ads going to "end the Internet as we know it"? Stop exaggerating.
Some people can't do healthy legal things publicly without risk of serious real world repercussions, from demotion and firing to risk of death. The internet has been a place where people can feed the parts of themselves that could ruin them (or others) otherwise. Repression and shame are killers.
