My last job was providing tech support for an American company. I worked there for 3 years until we found out that the call center's calls were going to be routed to a new call center staffed by poorly trained CSAs who could barely reset a modem, all for a wage that was far less an hour than...

Origin is a steaming turd, and EA's customer service department is a joke. I had a Sims 3 issue, so they dumped me into the French Dragon Age queue, the agent that replied then transferred me to the German Battlefield 3 queue, who disconnected on me. An hour later, I finally get someone in...

All games should let you save whenever, wherever you want. Anyone who has a problem with that, don't use it. Anyone who calls it 'scumming' or looks down on someone that uses a save game feature really needs to get a life.

I kind of get what he's saying, and in part, I agree with it. Yes, the youtuber personality and the work they put into their video should count for something, but the argument that because a game is interactive and a video isn't and therefore shouldn't count.. that really depends on the game, I...

No, it's pretty simple. If you go to the Star Wars IMDB page and look at the cast, you'll see: Drewe Henley ... Red leader (as Drewe Hemley) What it means is that the actor's name in the credits appears different than how it's normally credited. In this case, it was probably a typo...

I bet if they set their stretch goal for $3 million that they would prevent Hepler from ever writing again for any game, they'd reach it in 2 days.

She didn't do anything wrong. He decided what he was going to say and how to say it. The police and legal system arrested, charged and imprisoned him for it. Both of those are at fault for this, but that woman did the right thing. How do you think she'd feel if she saw that, decided to do...

While I agree that the prison time is wildly excessive, he should've had the common sense not to say something that stupid on Facebook where you really have no idea who's likely to read it. "Oh yeah, I'm real messed up in the head, I'm going to go shoot up a school full of kids and eat their...

He's likely there for his own protection.

I wouldn't expect them to sell IPs, but I do expect there's enough idiot fanboys out there who just buy what they're told to buy. "Wow, Halo 5 with pre-order in-game shiny helmet decals and sausage maker gun? Count me in!"

No, just your inner child.

Not sure if it was mentioned yet, but I think it's funny that he says they're working hard making games when this is practically a clone of Game Dev Story by Kairosoft. I mean there's bound to be differences but I just see a lot of similarities that can't be accidental. Bravo though on the...

All they need to include is a tea-bagging taunt maneuver they can do over a defeated foe and it'll be Game of the Year.

I think a lot of it involves control. People drive their cars, they feel safe because they control it. They don't control the plane in any way, so it feels less safe. Same with smoking vs. nukes, or crime vs. terrorism. People are afraid of things they can't predict, control or comprehend.

Maybe I'm just looking at this rationally, but why shouldn't the developers be the ones to be responsible for refunds? If I was Paypal I sure wouldn't want to be stuck holding the bag if the game ends up sucking. I've used Paypal for years and never had an issue with them. The only issue I've...
