This is not how a carrot and stick works. The stick is to attach (with string) and hold out the carrot ahead of the donkey to keep it moving forwards. Therefore it is the carrot AND stick that is used to motivate, not carrot OR stick. I don't know where humanity started to get this wrong but it really has to stop now.

Thanks for listening.

Mandatory indicators to show AI has been used somewhere in content will become the default due to legal arse-covering. The message will be diluted to the point that it is as much use as those "may contain nuts" warnings and become similarly meaningless.

Comment Re: This is why the 360 was my last console (Score 1) 50

Same, as soon as there was talk of XBOne being online-only, I realized consoles are dead. Then Sony pulled that shit with yanking the new Silent Hill demo off of the PS4s of people that downloaded it. Consoles are dead, PCs forever

I still have PT. It wasn't yanked from my PS4. It is no longer available to redownload if I ever delete it which is still a dick move but I have a backup and don't plan on deleting it. I'm probably unlikely to ever play it through again either, I just like having that option.

Well, lets see. (Cr)apple makes insanely vastly overpriced, extremely low quality products, and is now being sued by a company that makes insanely vastly overpriced, extremely low quality cables and A/V accessories...if one of them loses and goes out of business, its a win for consumers. The only outcome better than that would be if BOTH could lose and go out of business!!! Both of these companies are committing fraud, somehow getting people to think that high price =quality product, and that owning (insert name of company that makes insanely vastly overpriced, extremely low quality products here) products makes them cool somehow.

People that buy products from companies like this need to wise up and realize that buying products from companies like these only makesthem and idiot (or an IDiot) for paying insanely high prices for the crappiest low quality products available!

The thing is, easy piracy increases console sales.

Maybe in Europe and the 2nd and 3rd world, but not in the US, CA, NZ, AU, UK and Japan. Which...not-surprisingly, are the places with low piracy rates where people are actually willing to buy games.

Piracy was rampant on both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 in the UK. This was largely because these generations coincided with the mass commoditisation of CD and then DVD burners in PCs. People may have been willing to buy games. However, willingness and ability are not the same thing. Many gamers had huge collections that they couldn't possibly have acquired legitimately. I can't speak for orher regions but I suspect the same would have been true.

Plus, even after both games have been out for over three years now, they can still be played, there are still servers for them.

Is it still possible to play FIFA 10 online?

I stopped buying EA Sports games after buying Tiger Woods 11 in mid 2011' only for the online features to be removed before the year was out, presumably to encourage buyers on to Tiger Woods 12. I expect more than 6 months of value from a game.
