[quote who="taltamir" reply="368" id="3233481"] Quoting thadianaphena, reply 366I will never again buy a steam game because of their Orwellian policies. Every so often they come up to me and say "We are changing the terms of the deal you have with us and if you don't agree we will delete all of your games and you can't play anymore". Every time they update, it gets worse - before too long you will have to agree to let steam function as policeware or they will delete all of

Hello? $1=€1 doesnt ring a bell? Steam screws people in europe with it, and they simply ignore them. There´s a big thread at the steam boards regarding it, and it continues to get bigger. You know, I would understand the uninformed people happy about the convenience of surrendering to Valve's download manager with everything game related, turning games into a service that you rely on, like utilities. But it´s other people in the industry, including Brad, thinking that the

Yes, sorry bout doubting foxnews' unbiased, 100% accurate reporting. Like here: http://video.foxnews.com/v/1141465232001/video-games-go-green/. Fox news, protecting the public against violent content, objectionable material, and the liberal agenda in games. Yep, they called it just like it is. They uncovered the wacko liberal left propaganda in these city manag

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="39" id="2970405"] Um , no. There are several documented sites that document differences of opinion. But not of factual errors. That UM study that was cited by Jon Stewart and many others did not deal with facts, but opinion. Again, I am open to learning about how the NEWS is biased, but as yet have not had anyone provide examples.[/quote] Old topic, i know, but only now i've gone back to these boards, and I was asked last time to give evidene on how fox lie

[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="35" id="2969951"] Quoting Dr Guy, reply 28 That is what people keep telling me - but they never provide specifics (other than to start ranting about hannity or O'Reilly). Perhaps if you could provide some actual examples, that might help to prove what you say is accurate, and not just sour grapes. Quoting coreimpulse, reply 34 Just watch the channel. All they do is show imflammatory biased

I havent played them, but they do seem like an interesting game genre. I remember people commenting on the internet some time ago if interactive fiction could make a comeback with the new popularity ebook readers like the kindle.

I've read articles saying that microsoft makes more money on hardware peripherials like keyboards, mice and game controllers than on big console units nowadays. That's most likely the reason they still make them.

I remember seeing in stores those track mouses with one big ball that moved around. I thought they would be terrible in any kind of gaming use. Anyone still makes those?

This move will make Impulse less needed since people will just launch their games directly with steam. Sad to see that brad wardell sold out to the biggest bidder, at least now maybe Rebellion will use Steamworks' better cloud features.
