My recent favorite is "reskin the same engine, add five new things, and sell it as an entirely different game" ala Activision/Bethesda (at least Bethesda allows extensive fan contributions via modding, however).

I can accept this when I paid 20 bucks for a game. I can't accept that 60 dollar games don't have support for dedicated servers. Or is that even still an issue? I'd know more if I played shit games, but luckily I don't play shit and CoD is for retards.

I'd highly doubt that anyone who plays the more recent CoD games even knows what a dedicated server is.

Also Tuhl, I pirated the new Halo and jesus christ I can't function on a controller (for the record, I only got it for the social factor of playing with everyone I live with).

Halo is fine socially. I actually like Halo, even if it's for the story and music rather than the multiplayer (which is above average by console standards but falls desperately short by real game standards).

With the direction that WoW was going when I left and how they split Starcraft 2 into three separate games, its really disappointing to see Blizzard go down the Activision route. I won't be surprised to see the following editions of SC2 to tank compared to the first one, mainly because the people in the PC-RTS crowd are:

1) Good with computer.
2) Smart enough to not buy the same game 3 times.
3) I'm pretty sure you only need one copy of one edition to play multiplayer.

These following three things (especially the third point), have me convinced that SC2 will eventually tank like WoW did (but much, much harder) due to casualization and the gimmicky bullshit the MMOers put up with but the RTSers sure as shit won't.

A letter from a group of internet engineers to the Senate

Quote:
We, the undersigned, have played various parts in building a network called the Internet. We wrote and debugged the software; we defined the standards and protocols that talk over that network. Many of us invented parts of it. We're just a little proud of the social and economic benefits that our project, the Internet, has brought with it.

We are writing to oppose the Committee's proposed new Internet censorship and copyright bill. If enacted, this legislation will risk fragmenting the Internet's global domain name system (DNS), create an environment of tremendous fear and uncertainty for technological innovation, and seriously harm the credibility of the United States in its role as a steward of key Internet infrastructure. In exchange for this, the bill will introduce censorship that will simultaneously be circumvented by deliberate infringers while hampering innocent parties' ability to communicate.

All censorship schemes impact speech beyond the category they were intended to restrict, but this bill will be particularly egregious in that regard because it causes entire domains to vanish from the Web, not just infringing pages or files. Worse, an incredible range of useful, law-abiding sites can be blacklisted under this bill. These problems will be enough to ensure that alternative name-lookup infrastructures will come into widespread use, outside the control of US service providers but easily used by American citizens. Errors and divergences will appear between these new services and the current global DNS, and contradictory addresses will confuse browsers and frustrate the people using them. These problems will be widespread and will affect sites other than those blacklisted by the American government.

The US government has regularly claimed that it supports a free and open Internet, both domestically and abroad. We can't have a free and open Internet without a global domain name system that sits above the political concerns and objectives of any one government or industry. To date, the leading role the US has played in this infrastructure has been fairly uncontroversial because America is seen as a trustworthy arbiter and a neutral bastion of free expression. If the US suddenly begins to use its central position in the DNS for censorship that advances its political and economic agenda, the consequences will be far-reaching and destructive.

Senators, we believe the Internet is too important and too valuable to be endangered in this way, and implore you to put this bill aside.

If there's anything I suspect we can all agree on, it's the EFF being a good thing.

I personally feel that one of the main reasons of a lot of pirating, especially games and movies, is because the price has increased and the quality has decreased. With the sea of shit that's been pouring out of the movie theaters and video game markets, I've become much more apprehensive about investing $15 or $40-60 smackers for something that, for all I know, will be a complete waste of time and effort.
What factors do you use to determine the quality of a game or movie? Story? Graphics? Sound quality? Score?

Also, haven't games always been about $50, dating back to the days of Nintendo? (I guess if we count inflation, games were more expensive then...)

I got Warcraft 3 and it's expac for like, 30 bucks each when they were brand spanking new. Battle.net held me over for 10 years, and if everyone wasn't playing Starcraft 2 like fags, it'd still hold me. Alas, wc3 is now a barren wasteland because people want to play nexus wars instead of actual good maps.

All of them. Part of the problem is just that everything has been done. Anyone coming up with something that will make people "ooh ahhh" is a rarity because what else is there to do? Even still it's no excuse for shit like MW2 and I'll never understand how people bought into it. Sadly that game is ZOMGAMAZING to just about everyone though.

Game costs will go down when players realize that games don't need to use the latest technology so development takes years and costs millions.

We should see 16-bit versus ultramodern graphics the way we see charcoal pencils versus oil paintings.


Aestu of Bleeding Hollow...

Nihilism is a copout.
