Oh I am not saying the big drug companies are innocent, they would sell poison as medicine if they could get away with it. They care little for what effect it could have, just as long as they make money.
Of course, most of the regulars here are adults, for the most part. :-)
Yep, no point in making people worry. People have enough stuff on their own to deal with, let alone someone else's major problems.
I wonder if their attitude to Windows 10 is to force updates on people. Before now people like me can choose to stay on Windows 7, but if Windows 10 would package it as a regular update along with security fixes then I would have no choice. Sadly we are at the age of companies owning everything, they want full control of the OS, what it can do, and what you can do on it. Then there is the horrible spying that Windows 10 does and no doubt will get better at as the updates come. I believe Microsoft where one of the companies backing increased monitoring of people by governments, and corrupt companies, of course. :-)
That is true, but what would stop them doing both? As I said, GOG for example would do all the hard work of trying to get the game to work. But what would an old game really make? Very little I would asume, definitely not enough to even justify the consideration by such a large corporation like Fox.
It seems many things in physical form are getting more expensive, probably just to push customers to the digital versions, versions that are often lined with DRM. As I said, it seems to be getting all about control, and more and more the case that we don't actually own or buy anything, we just lease a licence to it.
True, I think Kickstarter will either continue as it is, or just fail as more and more people are burned by it. But hey, you could always go use the Double Fine version by Tim. I mean, he has proven himself trustworthy with peoples' money. :-)
AgentBirdnest: Yeah, I'd like to see that finished. It is in early access over on the competition... I wonder if it will be here too.
... seriously, what is the deal with all the early access and in-dev stuff? I'm not a fan at all. Games used to be sold once they were finished, if I remember correctly :-p
I don't think I've finished any Telltale complete seasons. I play one or two episodes, get bored, and let it sit on my shelf for a few more years. ... I have problems :-| I just don't seem to want to
finish my games.
I know, let's get your old people clothes on and get our rocking chairs and complain how these young whippersnappers are ruining our gaming industry. Where is Endre, we can all go sit on his lawn and yell at the kids while we are at it. Damn kids, on second thoughts, where my walking stick, I want to beat a few for listning to that horrible modern hippadyhop music. :-)
Exactly, which then effects the sales of the next episode and can mean no new episodes. That is why I tend to wait until a game is finished. At least with games like The Last Door it stands okay as it is. It is open ended but it feels like a full story and not too big a cliffhanger.
CarrionCrow: Goddamnit. Hate this fucking game at this point, 150+ hours in, sick to death of it, but still playing it while kinda wanting to take my controller and bust someone in the mouth with it, just because.
You could always just stop playing and pick another game. I know, I know, we in the old world are out of touch a little, but sometimes the old ways are the best. :-)
superstande: howzy!
was just reading the twitch schedule of gog - abc murders get a release stream tomorrow. There's also another release stream with no name attached, tomorrow. maybe we get a classic release tomorrow? :) ... maaaybe...
We can hope, a nice classic would be fun. Or maybe we will just get more early access games. :-)
