Funny how not so long ago this applied to someone else! Can't wait to see how much further they will actually go ...or not!

Yeah, I bet it has to do with possible lawsuit from game publisher. Small organization might be scared to either get the slapper or loose access to scoop or advance copies of games and such. Establish ones are more likely to give out bad review, at least in the past. Now, I'm sure some of them also make sure they don't piss off publishers or studio.

My guess is too many people look like dicks...makes it hard to decipher!

I can believe they both share common traits. When nerds are in the cyberspace, they let their inner bully out. How else can you explain those shitty game communities? ;)

I agree, this is the only language companies like Activision understand, the rest all come in behind it. They don't give a hoot about you being bullied, but if that means you won't pay them, they have a problem with it. But, now they realize the will loose more by doing this, so they'll have to find a better way.

So the wheel will complete its full circle until next console gen is release...Shocker. Coming up next, PC will die(Not really...) because of new gen of console until PC comes back, yet again, from the dead. Feels like groundhog day all over again. It all happened before and it will happen again, just ask Starbuck!!

Agreed... Between this and Activision or EA buying out successful studio to turn them to the dark side or Steam that totally controls your all your games(I got my whole Steam library of games disabled for 2 weeks trying to correct a mistake made by PayPal, which has convinced me to steer clear of steam or the likes or create a new profile for every game) using it... It's really a wonder how someone keeps on just buying games instead of following the "Easy road". Seems like us legit customer are the ones getting it up. People pirating have such a easy access, it's sickening.

Nope... the only measure is cost...Anything else is secondary...

Almost agree. They only women I know that play MMO are housewife with kids going to daycare or school or all grown up. But they play WOW, not EQ. It's only 2 women, but my wife and the rest of the women I know just don't play MMOs. But those that do, have a lot more free time than any other MMO gamer I know.

Actually, it's marvellous material to be showed to reluctant teens. Seeing that manual labour will most probably disappear in the next decades could help some of them...And you know what they say...if only one is saved ,the whole process would be worth it(Of course they will not take into account the others that will just loose faith in humanity).
