Just throwing in my quick 2p, is the ToS the same in other countries as well? This seems like it would violate many of the consumer protection/privacy laws in Europe. Anyone have any information on that?

By breach of contract

ToS and service agreement reform has been mentioned many times, but not enough of an effort has been made to help me and every other American understand our cellphone, bank, internet, Facebook, XBL fine print. If our legislators cannot bring themselves to reform what has been almost universally...

The only question is, is rally viable again? ;D

Hoping that: A. This will be released on PC. (Not everyone wants to spend money on super expensive smartphones or their plans) B. A full game will be made based on the popularity of this one. With part of the profits going to Make a Wish and other organizations.

A classification system that has only one feature would do poorly, that is obvious, but if Valve added more data and trained a model on it. I think the classification would work if Valve had a large number of features and a large enough known data set to train on. Though both are a bit of an...

Every single comment talks about a rating system that ISN'T EVEN MENTIONED in the article. Honestly this could work. I'm thinking about writing a paper on it and sending it to Valve.

But the article does not say they would use it to determine the classification of players it says: "'Some people, when they join a server, a ton of people will run with them,' Newell continued. 'Other people, when they join a server, will cause others to leave.'" It sounds like a change in...

Again, where does it say Valve would implement a report system? Enlighten me.

It's not talking about skill anywhere. It's talking about playercount. A griefer or hacker will generally cause a server's playercount to drop. Both of those people are undesirable to have in a server and adversely affects someone's enjoyment of a game. I'm curious, how do you think this...

I think this could be properly implemented given the right information. The problem is how to classify "good" and "bad" players. There are many different opinions, but plenty of overlap in the extremes of the spectrum. What Valve needs to do is find features, or data, that significantly...

I see really only one way to implement this with a minimum of abuse. Track each user and the player counts of the server before they join and at intervals after they join and if the user was banned or kicked. No community upvoting or downvoting, just pure algorithms. Valve could right now...

Wow this guy is an idiot. 1. How can you call this terrorism? Loosing PSN connectivity is terrorism? You're debasing the value of the word and using it improperly. terrorism: the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion. How are cybercriminals using terror? Point is...

Instead of arguing about Halo and innovation, you could watch my video made with the replay system. Accidental Pyro flare into Flairshot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wayp5PQrS0 (Here's hoping I get a Saxxy!)
