I would suggest against talking sense in this topic polynomial. Esp. after people are saying that: Amazon.com, WHICH HAS IT'S OWN DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICE, is not competition to Steam. Direct2drive is not competition. Gamersgate is not competition. Gogamer.com, WHICH HAS IT'S OWN DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICE, is not competition to Steam. Gamestop.com ALSO HAS IT'S OWN DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION SERVICE and

Or Amazon, Gamestop, Wal-Mart, etc. Only D2D has actual "Steamworks" titles, because it's run by IGN that doesn't compete with Steam. Gamersgate does not, and Amazon isn't a Digital Distribution company. Gamestop and Walmart sell physical

These attacks began in 2007, and the oil companies only knew about it when McAfee made a report? Why are people worried about this connecting to an internet off switch? It's all oil company related, which means it's either bullshit or the oil companies are fucking retarded, and either way it'll end up with higher gas prices.

[quote who="milanjirkovsky" reply="8" id="2886228"]Filter 2 would look nice to most of the Americans, filter 3 to most of the Europeans. Lightning is actually why some studios release two versions of a game - one colorful for America and one more darker for Europe and rest of the world.[/quote] LOL, is that why Japan is the master of Anime while we created film noir?

Thats the ipad talking frogboy, you've gone soft. It starts with not wanting to upgrade. Then the voice of Jobs will command you and next thing you know you are annoying people about mac products, wearing black turtleneck and jeans, and all your pcs are white. The only reason games don't push the envelope is due to piracy and the 360/ps3. With that said, their is still plenty of reasons for getting better cpus and more ram.

Hai guys, it's been awhile! This is my 'playpen', also known as my bedroom. It's not exactly useable yet, but people have accused me in the past of not having usable stuff, so why not post it ;) Yes, the tv has tape on it... I got a 36 inch crt off of craigslist FREE, which either has an issue with the power board inside or speaker

This discussion is simply going in circles. I won't be discussing morals after this comment, but again I will say that i only treat you like I would expect to be treated if I was a crock, so by definition I follow the rule. You can choose to believe that you do nothing bad, and it's pretty obvious you are going to make excuses for yourselves and your actions that you inflict on your fellow man. With that said everything in thus discussion has become one sided. I will concede that I've been

And again, the golden rule does NOT state that you must be a pushover for societies assholes. I would give the same lack of respect for any other criminal. If someone was to bully my friends I would not give them any respect. I would probably kick their ass. Keep going on about the golden rule, but again people who have no concept of morality will not abide by any rules. People who steal do not abide by any rules, If I stole from someone I would expec

I agree with you (surprisingly?) kenata. The punishment should fit the crime. The same crime should have the same punishment. Stealing a $1 song should never cost $4000....

You might claim to believe in the golden rule, but you don't practice it, at least not on these forums.

[quote who="SpaghettiMon" reply="135" id="2859407"]The fact that you think copyright infringement is theft speaks volumes about your ignorance of the very laws you're advocating for. Major corporations who own intellectual property continuously lobby our government to make it theft, but it really isn't. They are also trying to get rid of any sort of public domain or public benefit from copyright. You see it used to be that the government provided copyright protection under the agreement

Nothing has changed as far as how commerce is managed. I would definitely argue that digital goods are worth less then physical, but this argument isn't based around how valuable digital goods are, it's based on IF they have any value at all! And sorry to say, but if someone makes a product that you like, they deserve to live. Whatever you guys thought I am, I am most definitely a 'moral crusader'. I also pull no punches.
