Exactly. Ironically, all of these anti-pirate tactics have gone way too far, and have turned the pirates into the GOOD guys! Expect their numbers to rise very soon.
Piracy is becoming an absolute necessity, just to regain our rights, and actually OWN the things we buy. #7.1
Exactly. If I buy something, and it becomes a brick, I'm going to go looking to get a FULL refund (I don't care if it's years down the road). Business no longer exists? SOMEBODY OWES ME MONEY! #30.1
A 2nd crash of the industry is starting to sound very necessary. The only way to fix this (if these rumors are true), is to completely tear it down, and start from scratch. #16.2
Hopefully, people have learned to wait for the game to be released, before they buy the system. This gen showed that you can't assume it will actually release. #3.1
Worst case scenario: what happens if Microsoft is out of business at some point in the future? I damn well better be able to place my disc in the system, and play my game, regardless of whether or not there is a server out there to talk to. A.K.A. If I own a game, I better OWN that game. #1.3.4
I agree. I hate that the gaming industry is passing up the chance to make some great games, so they can make these crappy ones. Why? Because the sheep pay $60/year for 3 hours of crappy gameplay (yes, generalization). #1
Prediction: This won't sell, because it's a port of the crappier version, and most of the people who would want to play it will play it on Sega CD. Then Tsuyoshi Sawada will say, "See! There's no market for Strategy RPGs! Let's make more Hentai Action RPGs!" #1
I'll be pissed if DQ7 doesn't make it to the U.S. I don't think SquareEnix can afford any more black eyes like that.
Also, I'm hoping for a Golden Sun 4. Or, even better, a Golden Sun: Tactics type game, so we can finally have the Shining Force that Sega refuses to give us. #1
I have no problem with this. It's Nintendo's right. If they filed copyright strikes, and forced the videos to be removed, then I'd boycott them just like I'm boycotting Sega for their Shining series fiasco that STILL hasn't been resolved.
What Nintendo did, is no different than a band filing claims on a cover uploaded to YouTube. You can still put the video up, but you can't make money off of it. Every time that notification pops up, I immediatel... #6
It's not hard to skip past the stuff you don't like. One of the reasons The Show is so awesome, is that it is so customizable. You have tons of options. If you just want to play, you can. Just skip all the stuff you don't care about. #2
I'll believe it when I see it. Get it some exclusive high-profile RPGs, and I'll think about it. I almost bought it not long after launch, assuming that it would eventually have them. I sure am glad I waited. #5

"I am not new to Star Trek"
"that Scottish Scientist"
These two statements conflict. lol! #9
