Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec 439

Posted by Soulskill from the sorry-about-your-luck dept.
Frank Gibeau, label president for EA Games, recently spoke with Develop about the publisher's long term development strategy. Gibeau thinks developing major games without multiplayer modes is a passing fad: "...it’s not only about multiplayer, it’s about being connected. I firmly believe that the way the products we have are going, they need to be connected online. ... I volunteer you to speak to EA’s studio heads; they’ll tell you the same thing. They’re very comfortable moving the discussion towards how we make connected gameplay – be it co-operative or multiplayer or online services – as opposed to fire-and-forget, packaged goods only, single-player, 25-hours-and you’re out. I think that model is finished. Online is where the innovation and the action [are] at."

A more accurate translation would be "I got mine jack... and I will watch your back when I can"

Taxes, as you point out, are necessary to provide a functioning society. We may disagree on which roles the government plays in that. Does education or health care in the US need to be federated? I don't believe so, and I understand the arguments for both sides. The Center for Disease Control is highly relevant in the US, but I recently discovered they are involved in traffic safety studies. I don't mind my money being used by government--it's annoying when it is not being used wisely or for it's intended purpose.

Now that I'm older and more experienced, I find that I now have responsibilities. I married, and began to understand insurance. When I purchased a house, I began to learn about mortgages, and when I started raising my kids, values became relevant. I was a liberal until I began to understand it was my money at stake, and my money is what I use to provide for my family... and distribute to charities as I see fit.

Man Put On "No-Fly List" While In Air To NYC 300

Posted by samzenpus from the beware-the-list-refresh dept.
An unnamed man flying from Nigeria to New York City found out he was added to a no-fly list somewhere above the Atlantic Ocean, when the plane stopped to refuel in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Officials won't say what he did or why he was added to the list after he had already boarded a flight. He was not immediately charged with a crime and Customs and Border Protection will only say that he is a "potential person of interest." From the article: "The man, a citizen of Gambia, was not on the no-fly list when he boarded the aircraft in Dakar, Senegal, said a US official who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the issue publicly."
