[quote who="SwerydAss" reply="59" id="2629503"]I dont see how there is any difference of pirating losses between pc and consolesto Anyone with a Dreamcast could tell you that there isn't. There were pirated versions of almost every xbox and ps2 game available to find to play on the dreamcast. Lets not forget those nesterDC and GenesisDC discs everyone passed around. The 360 and Ps3 are both hackable as well. Pirating is just something they hide behind instead of

don't have time for a long response, but ill do what i can. [quote who="ZehDon" reply="56" id="2629139"] Saying that there is more money in the console market compared to the PC Market is the industrial equivelant like saying that there is more money in Major League Baseball than in the Minor Leagues. Of couse there is! It's sheer deduction. [/quote] that's a ludicrous comparison; unless its your position that there's significantly less than 40 million (number of 3

I always find these types of comments hilarious. Unreal Tournament 2k4 was, as I said, brilliant. I still play it. UT3, which I also own, was terrible, plain and simple.

I must’ve been told to watch the corporation 2 or 3 times this month already. Why do noobs assume this infamous piece of cinema, winner of numerous awards and 10 years old, is somehow flying under the radar? Ha.

You've got the general idea Piracy didn't kill PC Gaming, Game Developers killed PC Gaming. Instead of making titles that take advantage of the platforms specific strengths and target audiences, they're making one game, aiming for
[quote who="Jalicos" reply="13" id="2612345"] EDIT: How can anyone hope to determine the merits of various sci-fi shows without having seen Babylon 5? It starts out slow and has a rocky first season, but no other show comes close to its intricacies of plot. Watching as all the various threads are slowly, patiently drawn down to a singular moment of crisis is exquisite. [/quote] this man knows what he's on about.
[quote who="joasoze" reply="25" id="2622412"] You are too defensive. There are still CIV V and Elemental on the horizon. Try those on a console [/quote] I don’t know why you’d think that the occasional exception is relevant (especially considering I stated that [i]some[/i] genres still do ok).
Based on the amount of horrible, watered-down multi-platform games these days released on PC, piracy has already killed PC gaming. Now we have console gaming, just you play on your PC. Sure, certain genres remain alive and well, but on the whole we’re stuck with what can be done on those glorified DVD players.
game concepts are a dime a dozen. what matters is implementation.
I think its enough just to say that 1 is awesome and the other sucks.
these conversations are always so dumb. you cant really compare units across different universes.

[quote who="GJDriessen" reply="21" id="2595605"]It appears that at least on amazon.co.uk there is no box edition of DS9 available anymore. Instead you have to purchase all seasons separately. At least the prices are reasonable.[/quote] hehe, me and the rest of the B5 fans were clamouring for DVD release all those years ago, and when it finally came, i was paying $110 a season. still worth it though!
i would like to point out that i am neither american nor do i particularly care about the loss of life that occurred on 911 (anymore than i care about any other significant loss of life). i just can't stand liars and self-styled intellectuals who think "analysing" a few photos is somehow a reasonable substitute for the more robust studies that are readily available on a subject. and i flame them because after all these years, i am well aware that they are immune to reasoned and reasonable dis
i hope the rest of stardock's users can see what kharma is doing (comparing apples to bicycles). none of those building were struck by big planes doing in excess of 500mph, none of those buildings were towering skyscrapers, none of those buildings had structural designs remotely similar to the WTCs, and none of those buildings had unfought fires. it is just [b]dishonest[/b] to attempt such comparisons. this is the typical disingenuousness you will find in virtually every 911 truther.

The government now admits the towers fell at essentially free fall[/quote] kharma is once again completely wrong. his own photos show debris falling well below the line of collapse. had the buildings fallen at freefall speed, the debris would not have been falling below that line.
