Sometimes I program things, so this response hit me like a jackhammer. I liked it better when they were an evil conspiracy of devious executives who siphon credit card details and personal passwords. It was a much better image than this evil cabal of idiots that can't figure out how to make a...

It seems kind of odd that their game DRM has a browser component. Why would you need to use one when you've got the uplay program? I'm calling Orwellian surveillance now, before someone else takes it. (Also, don't buy Ubisoft, its a cheap and easy way to help make the world a better place.)

Is it really valid to include the Yoyodyne connection in this extrapolation? Even if we accept that crossovers with characters actually occurred and result in the nullification of their respective series, a reference to a corporation in another work is not necessarily the same corporation...

EA's support of this cause is a good thing. Of course, since they are a game publisher and not an advocacy organization this makes very little difference to me. I am not going to buy their products until they stop bundling them with restrictions and unhappiness (That I personally find to be too...

All they know is that...

Analog clocks are an anachronism as far as I'm concerned. I never see them, so I don't ever have to use them. My ability to read them is stunted from disuse.

Actually, I think i might play a game like that... Of course, if it was going to be a real game, the moral of the story should be about the ethics of mind control and the morality of changing someone's orientation just because it is 'undesirable'. But that premise would be likely bring in a...

I am a weird person who thinks that money paid for something is equivalent to the amount a person thinks something is worth, and because this whole topic is about subjective values versus salary, my funky world-view should work fine. (This is not randomly self-deprecating, stock market people...

The best way to tell if you don't like something is to experience it, it must seem odd for someone to not jump to a conclusion on the Internet.

He could have been referring to the act of paying to literally be screwed. Not that I would know anything about that. Anyways, how is this a forgiving system when it requires that the game check in during gameplay? Fortunately, Bioware has given us a way to speak with our wallets in a way...
