The "joke" isn't even in the video game; it's a single line of code that was never supposed to be released to the public anyway. I view getting upset at this close to finding some random kid's journal, seeing an entry that says "Jaime is such a feminist nazi whore" then getting offended by it...

1) I wasn't the one that posted that, stop being so bad at quoting. 2) Yes there was a reason for it; the sites that the gold trading was typically done on would take people's account info which would be used to strip everything off the account and usually delete the characters. If it's all...

Could you link to me where Blizzard will be allowing players to buy gold with money? I don't recall reading that part on the FAQ, but I could have missed it. Blizzard only benefits from the "real world value" of those items if they're traded through the real money auction house. It doesn't...

It won't be any different from playing Diablo 2 over battle.net. You can play on your own if you want, and you never have to trade with other players if you don't want to, but it might take you awhile if you're trying to get a specific item. The ingame gold AH is just taking the place of trade...

No they don't. The F2P MMOs you're talking about feature loot that is sold directly by the developers. The Auction House is between players only, with Blizzard only charging to use the service (they don't get a cut of the winning bid). And if players don't want to bring real money into the fold...

No it's not. Blizzard has called it a co-op game since the beginning. I mean, have you people even been reading these articles? How many times has Blizzard said that part of the reason they're not offering off-line play is because they WANT people to play together? That's what they view their...

I've explained perfectly clear in the past why the "the real money AH is just a scheme for Blizzard to get money" is wrong, and I don't feel like going through it again. Look through my past comments if you're curious, shouldn't be too long ago. Either way, you're not "forced" into it...

Fair enough. I missed that particular article.

Not everyone has piles of spare cash lying around they can waste on trying out random games on a hunch. I, and many other people, read reviews to save myself money or to find games I should look into more. Bastion would have never been on my radar if I hadn't seen the video review for it here...

Check my most recent edit to my post. Logan (this article's author) was wrong in opening his story with "Apparently, it's not pirates that Blizzard is targeting by requiring Diablo 3 to be hooked up to the internet all the time" because the interview he sited as his source specifically mentioned...

From the second paragraph of the interview you linked: What was that again about contradictions and PR-muzzles? Lots of commentators on this site seem to have difficulty reading, though, so don't take it too hard. Also, in your defense, Logan's opening of "Apparently, it's not pirates...

Yes, I'm sure you're a rather unique and beautiful snowflake whose tastes could never be predicted or understood. But for the rest of us peons who don't have the time to look up an online review for every game in the store, it'd be nice to have a program that could make potential suggestions...

That's fine in of itself and completely expected; if you wanted to play Diablo 3 single player then you absolutely shouldn't get the game if the required online connection is an issue for you. What's hilarious are people that are acting like Blizzard are the scum of the earth now because people...

You mean Jay Wilson, the guy that's being quoted in this very article? And lol at people acting like Blizzard is suddenly the "most anti-consumer developer" when Blizzard has already been discussing free content patches they'll be putting out after the game's release. I also like people...

That's funny, my girlfriend (a woman) seems to have no issue enjoying games I, as a man, enjoy as well; games such as Kingdom Hearts, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy, Jack and Daxter, Guild Wars (heck, we've both been lapping up all of the info for Guild Wars 2 for awhile now). It's...
