Everyone knows it's different online. These kids (and adults) wouldn't say these things in person. I think these competitive-type games will always have angry fans. You just keep your chin up and ignore it, or make games in a different genre like co-op play.

@markosasav @IgorSteinberg They are still essential to Diplomacy victories. You just can't get enough votes without them. Well, you have to get half of the available votes to win. Without city-states you have to become friends with half of AI civs, which may be impossible late game.

@wuushew Brave New World includes all of the mechanics from Gods & Kings. The only thing exclusive to Gods & Kings is its own 9 civs that original came with that expansion.

I should add that Nintendo has very deep pockets after the success of the Wii. Even after the last few years of slow 3DS and Wii U adoption, Nintendo is still flush with cash. They the time and money to correct things. If this ends up becoming a regular problem with all new Nintendo hardware, then maybe it's time to worry. That's 20 years from now though.

All it needs is a price drop and it will be competitive again. Most people bought Xbox 360s and PS3s as their primary console, but then bought the Wii also a few years later because it was so cheap. I could see a rebound for Wii U by 2015. The first round of Nintendo exclusives are out and it's available for $250? They will be selling like hotcakes.

Then, I might actually consider buying it, but they would have to fix all the bugs and make it at least as good as the previous games in the series.

I don't play LoL and didn't think I would like this show, but I actually found it entertaining. They are real characters. hehe

@LtReviews It's legal to learn how it works, not to use that knowledge to make a bot to farm items and sell for real money. Also, Blizzard probably has an arbitration clause that prevents anyone from really suing them. You have to go through an arbitrator of their choosing, who will probably make a biased decision see as how they are paid by Activision.

@watchuwad It's only 13GB on my computer. You probably never uninstalled the beta.

@Zaka Actually, they still get around a million players per month, though some of those players probably aren't logging in more than a few minutes.
