You clearly understand very little about the law, the real calculations of modern entertainment business and the world in general. Firstly your opinion doesn't matter. You think that we in the EU have silly laws? Well allow me to laugh in your face because we don't care what you think...

^^ THIS Right on! If the UK government will bend over for this one (oh yet again!) then good luck living on the Isles. While US can get a lot from UK just by looking at them firmly, this kind of bull**** would never fly on the continent. Come good people, reason and sense are just on the...

There is a big difference between real world goods trading and RMAH in Diablo. Let me quote an earlier entry in this thread that explains main difference between auctions on eBay and those in Diablo 3: * eBay does not create all of the items that are sold in the auction. * eBay cannot...

Did you ever gamble? For real sums, not pocket change? I do frequently (when in season - horse racing is my thing) and it is addictive and it can too "offer you funds if played responsibly" when you know how to bet. You really think that once you'll make some quick buck on few items free of...

yeah, sorry for that... I'll keep digging as I have a day off (bank holiday) and it seems a worthwhile pursuit:)

First of, in every game of chance you have infinite tries. The only thing that may stop you are your finite resources - be that money, time, or battery life on your wireless mouse. Also the "several free listings a month/week" thing is no argument at all - every online casino gives you a...

So many children commenting and saying on and on that "nobody forces us to use AH". Wow, really? Gambling is *strictly* regulated in EVERY country in the world that has a stable government (and a great many that don't) and there are many subtle details that build up the big picture. Nobody...

I'll just use this one quote so you'd know I'm replying to your post. It all is part of the narrative, true, but to me, when you have too much of it the whole experience gets lost in it. When you change environment every level after a short while you stop caring, it doesn't impact you when...

Well, fair enough, you could do this, but why would you? Video games are a very different medium that theatre or film are. From our vantage point yes, the story in Uncharted 2 has arms and legs, but in mid-game it doesn't make any sense. Remember that the experience is filled with action and...

I see your point and in general I concur, but I can't say that I entirely agree. I'd break it into to points - that about Drake and that about the game's story. Uncharted 2 seriously lacks in the story department and I think that one of the reasons why so many people think otherwise is the...

...whatever... you want...

ekhm... windows vs unix anyone? Some people here are really funny, they think that your rolls royce is crap, because you've spilled coke on the dashboard and now his old nissan is sooo much better :D Yeah right. And the pink fluffy bunnies too... you're kiddin' me? So Vista and win7...

Ok, so Russ was the Ugly, right?

Kid, English is not my first language and I was writing a lot of text so I think it's understandable. I see now that any discussion with a non-educated person can only end in a stalemate. No reasoning is going to help here. I haven't wrote you everything explicitly because it's not my...

I think you need to be reminded of the video game industry lobby that wanted to ban (sic!) second hand market. Oh I bet you'd like that, wouldn't you? Those guys were complaining how much they loose beacuse of the second hand market and M$ even printed on few thousand of their games "Not for...
