http://www.gossipgamers.com/blizzard-calls-drm-a-losing-battle/ And incidentally, they claim Starcraft II will not include any kind of DRM. The article also state Starcraft II will not include LAN mode (to force people playing online and hence get a legal version.). That's interesting...

Well, I guess I'm just too much of a realism addict for this kind of games. It just bore the hell out of me when everything is that easy. A game where your character takes 20 bullets like a champ, loosing 10% of his life and killing 4 adversaries in a row with his bare hands is just not my...

From the video, the infiltration mechanics just seems ridiculously easy. You can basically kill anyone with one punch, people don't shout or make noise when they are attacked, and even when you fire a gun, or get spotted by the ridiculously narrow camera angle, the alarm doesn't really make...

Yeah, but again, the bundle was downloadable from a static link without any authentification system. That's the internet equivalent of making a concert inside your house, opening the windows and wondering why people gather outside to listen to it without your consent.

So it appears : pirates effectively used the bandwith of the site. It also appears David Wong from cracked likes to rant about shit. It is obvious that if you can get the games by donating one penny, the fact people used pirated links has more to do with the inability to use a payment method...

Did you know that... these games existed BEFORE Humble Indie Bundle operation ? The pirating has nothing to do with Child's Play like you are trying to make it seem. It has been here since these games have been released, like with every single game in the world. And your reasoning is absurd...

Actually, I would. I've calculated I don't need much more than 800€ a month to be happy... (broke student FTW) (and this sum is artificially high due to the absurd prices of housing) Being rich is so 1999

Actually what TheWesDude is arguing makes sense to me. The only way to globally decrease our power (and other resources) consumption would be to change our behavior on a global level, which is incompatible with our current capitalist growth-oriented model. You would need the state to interfere...

I'm not the one to think you should never laugh of an illness. It's doing it on the purpose of hurting that is idiotic. And yes that would be an action. <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/80K01Y21U2I&hl=fr_FR&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always"...

If I decide I am a duck and start looking and behaving like one, would you not laugh at me ? After all, it's just species identification, not an action...

I fixed it for you I'm not sure being a trans is only a gender thing... If I can't laugh at someone based on his actions, I think I can't laugh at anything anymore.. this sucks

Man, I can't believe how idiotic this piece of background is. The fact it's part of the Van Buren docs just makes me sad. A cloaking field with psychological side-effects ? Seriously ? Who come up with such shitty ideas ? Is it supposed to be, like, cool ? Like the Nightkin I suppose...

I would prefer a video of someone using it

You're taking the problem in the wrong direction. If you can't prove there is any substantial harm done, then there is officialy no harm until proven. Hence why we assume it's insignificant. Piracy is the reason people know dozens to hundreds times more music/films than they would have...

And no one knows shit about these amounts. But you see, the problem is precisely here. It's useless to say it's hurting sales if you haven't any mean of quantifying how much. It could very well hurt sales in marginal amount. I never pretended to know this amount, but when no one knows shit...

Re: Epic blames piracy for lack of PC support The explanations are many, and the evidence we have to back up such claims is nothing more than our own behavior, and, well, the absence of any evidence of harm from the other part. The general claim is that a pirated copy doesn't equal a lost...

You make it seem like companies couldn't do anything evil here because they're just profiting of the free market ? There is a wide range of corporate tactics that are considered evil and/or unlawful and EA could pretty well be taking part in them. These include profiting from a monopoly /...

No, but they can set precedents on how to interpret the law in a particular case, that will bound future decisions. Which is basically what Blakut was speaking about, even if the example we are talking about here is a dumb one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Case_law...

In no particular order, every single one of these films must be seen in one's life according to me : Gattaca Cyrano de Bergerac The Virgin Suicides Goodfellas Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance Zatoichi C'est arrivé près de chez vous Underground The big lebowsky A Clockwork Orange...

Yes, I refered to it as a setting twist in Fallout 2 in my first post because I didn't know it was already stated in the Fallout 1 ending bits. Would you please comment on how it changes any of the points I made, or are you just representing the memory part of your brain ? That's better...
