When the security industry itself is saying it needs massive help, the only thing that can be done is to change how the game is played. While there are a number of compelling benefits to Vista, the big one is that it gives the security industry a chance to get ahead of the wave.
The new unit comprises over 500 developers representing the entire World of Warcraft development team.
I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.
Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.
No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo
I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.
Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
Modders have cooked up something pretty special – a Wii console which is small enough to fit on your keys. A wee Wii.
Another studio has held layoffs, this time its Humble Games letting go of its entire QA team according to social media posts.
They will rehire cheaper labor during the restructuring. The stupid thing is that they are struggling and the first thing they do is lower the quality.
Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Somebody call 911. I'm laughing so hard I forgot how to breathe!
But could you provide the actual sales figures of the drive?
When Sony announced the inclusion of blueray, the MS fanboys jumped in saying why... Then others said that gamers don't buy game machines to watch movies and that they wouldn't make a difference. Now they are counting on those same gamers that supposedly don't use their game machines to watch movies to fight the format war. This is very John Kerryish with the flip flopping. First they say no we don't need it, then they say awe we need to support it. That is what drives me crazy.
What they still don't acknowledge is this method of getting HD-DVD is more expensive then buying a standalone player and equally as expensive as the PS3.
I know MS is pushing the whole "choice" thing, but now they are diving head first into the format war that they won't completely support (games wise).
The best part of the HD-DVD add on is it can be hooked up to your computer if you are into that. But to say that the add on will win the format war is ridiculous.
The only thing that will kill blueray is Sony. They are crippling the format because of lack of players. They say that the diode shortage will lighten soon, then we can have a clearer view of what will happen with the format war.
Anyways I doubt the 20% HD-DVD attach rate. Think about how many people bought the add on for their PC. That is very easy to set up you know.
360 + HD-DVD or
PC + HD-DVD
Oh and bladestar, it's hardly the wait that will determine if people buy a PS3. It's the price, and waiting for the price to come down.
HD-DVD and BluRay are both stupid. I have broadband, and if I want high-def (which I don't), I'll just download it at this point. Screw both of the formats.
Which is why I'm glad that, with 360, I don't have to invest in either.
Heck, I still have zero plans on getting an HDTV even remotely soon. Screw "high-def" altogether for the time being. Until people start actually dropping support for SDTV (or prices on HDTV), I'm not spending the $500+ it would take to get a good gaming HDTV.
