God I hope that's the wording they use in the judgment
|
|
|
06:52:52

|
06:52:41

|
|
It's a human rights violation to prevent it
|
|
|
06:52:30
|
|
|
Sorry, DP. My sense of social obligation is strong.

With the Xbone, I can see situations where you can't resell a game in, say NA, but you will be able to in the EU because, well, it's thuh law.
|

I can't find the article I had in mind, because the internet's spent a good few weeks complaining about the Xbone and it's buried amidst the rubble
|
|
|
06:50:40
|
|
|
Forget it, I don't really want to talk this out with you both again.
|
|
|
06:49:52
|
|
|
Call me crazy, but that seems like an issue with your game.
|
|
|
06:49:48
|
|
|
Valve's going through court in the EU right now trying to argue that it is, but I don't like their chances
|
|
|

On Heavy Rain, where something like 3 million people played it and only 2 million bought new copies. Ignoring that copies may have changed hands more than once, 1 million people traded the game in. 50% of people who bought your game new.
|
|
|
06:48:03
|
|
|
Then there's the issue of preventing theft and preventing the consumer from exercising their rights
|
|
|
06:47:37
|
|
|
You can combat piracy without hurting used game sales, the PS3 more or less proved that
|
|
|
06:45:19
|
|
|
And after that one time, what? Just let it sit arounnnnd?
|
|
|
06:44:12
|
|
|
Heavy Rain? You mean the game David Cage said to play once?
|
|
|
06:43:37
|
|
|
In this particular discussion, I feel I can as the proposed features combat both things.
|
|
|
06:42:17
|
|
|
Hang on, you can't lump piracy in with used game sales
|
|
|
06:32:24
|
|
|
The Dissidia piracy figures and the Heavy Rain secondhand numbers were pretty alarming from where I was standing.
|
|
|
06:31:35
|
|
|
In the meantime, why not read a few Animorphs pages?
|
|
|
06:31:19
|
|
|
I will once I trawl through a few threads
|
|
|
06:31:16
|
|
|
It seems irrational to do such consumer-angering things without a good reason.
|
|
|
06:31:09
|
|
|
|
06:30:51
|
|
|
That's just an attempt to get total control over the consumers
|
|
|
06:30:40
|
|
|
You have proof to back this up?
|
|
|
06:30:24
|
|
|
They claim it does, but it doesn't
|
|
|
06:30:17
|
|
|
The drastic measures seem to suggest otherwise.
|
|
|
06:29:55
|
|
|
But it doesn't dig deeply
|
|
|
06:29:31
|
|
|
But they've been utterly deaf to their customers' opinions on this.
|
|
|
06:28:12
|
|
|
I don't think it's evil for the companies to try to push back against a force that digs so deeply into their bottom line.
|
|
|
06:27:25
|
|
|
We'll see what happens, but I've never been outraged by DRM measures like this.

Had I owned an Xbox One I'd have been left with a very expensive paperweight
|
|
|
06:26:37
|
|
|
If it wasn't for my PS3 I'd have gone mad
|
|
|
06:26:26

I was without the internet for 10 days a few months ago

Canceling interviews and limiting press conferences at E3 is kind of... not the point of E3
|
|
|
06:24:52
|
|
|
Not that Microsoft will collapse even if the Xbone is the disaster it's shaping up to be
|
|
|
06:24:30
|
|
|
That's true. I don't think they will, though.
|
|
|
06:24:28
|
|
|
Although their shareholders may beg to differ
|
|
|
06:24:09
|
|
|
They're also entitled to go under
|
|
|
06:23:15
|
|
|
Those businesses are entitled to look out for their own interests in the same way consumers are by buying used.
|
|
|
06:22:11
|
|
|
The fact that there's a used game market at all proves consumer appetite for one
|
|
|
06:21:43
|
|
|
It's not smart business to piss off your consumer base
|
|
|
06:13:15
|
|
|
Nor are they obligated to look for a compromise.
|
|
|
06:11:27
|
|
|
Oh wait, they aren't looking for a compromise
|
|
|
06:11:16
|
|
|
Seriously, industry, online passes are the compromise you're looking for
|
|

The upsetting thing is, I can't imagine them giving Sony such a massive chance to dominate the next gen if they weren't confident that Sony will be doing much the same as they are

Booo, should have been a dick skin rug

The end of one of his fingers.

You could put it in front of the hearth and have sex on it
|
|
|
04:57:11
|
|
|
|
04:56:52
|
|
|
Imagine it was dick skin then
|
|
|
04:56:32
|
|
|
|
04:54:47
|
|
|
Did the books specify where on the body the skin came from?
|
|
|
04:51:29
|
|
|
Makes his gift of a piece of skin in the books seem underwhelming.

So Ramsay sent them Theon's dick in a box. Well damn.

I'm experiencing a noticeable lack of adrenaline today. Why are 5 hour shots so stupidly priced?

Oh yeah, that's out. I wish I had a 3DS. But not for that. For SMTIV next month.

*plays Animal Crossing New Leaf and screams at the cuteness*

But I agree. A traditional single player Final Fantasy with character creation would be nice.
|
|
|
17:40:56
|
|
They technically do. In the MMOs. 
|
|
|
17:26:23
|
|
|
Random thought. I think it'd be neat if Square aloud us to create our own character in a Final Fantasy. This of course will never happen because they like cgi too much.

I never realized just how huge a moose could get.

Dying at 30 still sounds preferable to me.

I'd do it myself but I really couldn't stand living in a shared house

I suggest joining a monastery devoted to silent prayer. You'll probably get a few years of sitting around with free room and board before they notice that you've got headphones on under your hood

Hey, I intend to work for the government

14:50:34

Another decade at least then. Hopefully we'll both be moved out and independent by then. So we still won't be able to afford one anyway. 
|

I'll believe it when I see it in my loungeroom

Unlikely. OLED is next level shit. It can retain the image from pretty much any viewing angle.
|
|
|
14:45:43
|
|
|
So you get even more image distortion if you're not sitting directly in front?
|

14:43:37

Only $13,500. What a bargain!

I don't get the same rhythm on a touchscreen. It's terrible.

It's summer, silly southern hemisphere.

You just want to snuggle up in bed with it on these cold winter nights

Mine's always warm to the touch, pliant, yielding...
|

Mine also has some kind of thermometer.
