EULAs are generally not considered legally binding since you can't read them until after you purchase the item. Also, flash carts are useful for not carrying around 20-30 games with a portable system, not just for piracy. Either way, the way DS flash carts work with the DSi and the 3DS they...

I've played SSFIV online, used my DS flash cart, done everything that people say causes it and had no issues.

I don't think EA and Activision are saying ONLY digital sales should count. Retail and Digital sales are both large parts of the industry, especially on PC, so ignoring either is stupid. Both should be accounted for.

I agree with them too. 17 and under is generally the only time in a person's life when their parents have direct control over their media consumption habits. Once they're out of your parents house, why would anyone care what their mom thinks of the game they're playing? It won't affect their mom...

While it's awesome to see more PC love, Homefront still looks really uninteresting. Hopefully other developers follow their lead though.

FF VII has good writing? Alpha Protocol has bad writing? What kind of Bizarro World do you live in? And as I said in my earlier posts, mediocre plots are okay if they aren't keeping gameplay systems from an era where computers couldn't handle much more than turn based fighting. If the story or...

I have to disagree. It's just a country being able to accept its own lazy tripe better than it can accept other countries' lazy tripe. Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is widely accepted world over as one of the best and most influential movies of all time, because a good story is good no matter...

The difference between jRPGs and wRPGs is that in general, wRPGs have moved past their roots in Ultima, Might & Magic, The Bard's Tale, etc and jRPGs haven't. This isn't a problem in and of its self, but when you've been doing the same thing gameplay wise for 2-2.5 decades, you either need to...

I know it's the end to shareware Wolf3D, but that really is still their address, check the 3D Realms website. To George Broussard's BBQ and Strippers fund is my best guess. :p

Hint: The order screen has Apogee's real address. The maker isn't Apogee. This was a nice, clever five minute distraction, I liked it.

I would assume Google verifies any copyright claims to stop that from happening.

It was well made, but the wrist computer and the melee fighting really did not fit the tone of the Half-Life series. I think it personally would've been better if they had made their own universe instead of using a pre-existing one. Basically, as an amateur sci-fi short? 9/10. As a Half-Life fan...

Arkane is an awesome developer, glad to see they're still alive and doing work. This also bodes well for ZeniMax letting ID release IDTech 4's source code.

Valve doesn't set global prices except on their own games. Publishers set their own prices.

I just double checked, it does.
