@A_Rabid_Dog "after 12 years with brand new hardware, all of your digital games will still be available to you."

In theory yes. There is no guarantee that Steam will be around 12 years or 12 days from now.

@rawkstar007 "If MS had not tried to take away selling physical copies"

??? You cant't sell used copies of physically purchased PC games either.

David, should our industry be better than this?:

Was David Ellis already out of the closet?. Either way good for him. ""No freedom 'til we're equal"!!!!!

@MinerAvatar @HackedLife Guess I'm lucky then. I deleted the email though. Like I said I'm not going through all that hassle for a 3 hour test.

@hector530 FF14 will fail (again) also.

@redwin Yes it is.

@hector530 You are probably referring to the three hour stress test tonight that everyone who signed up was invited to. What a waste of time. It will take longer to download the client, install, and patch than the entire test window will last. They couldnt at least give us the weekend?

ESO and Wildstar will go F2P within 6 months of launch guaranteed. There is no long term market for customers willing to shell out $15/month, except for those that already play WoW. I expect both these games to sell very well up front, and then rapidly lose customers after the first two months, just as every post WoW MMO has done.
