There is one BIG fact that no one has brought up. The developer recieves 30 - 50 percent more profit on digital copies. Compared to the over-head costs and size of cuts the retailers take.

This is another great thing about Steam, but I've noticed that people would rather cry about not seeing those cost savings passed onto consumers (even though they obviously are during the many yearly sales.)

Gamestop does more damage to consoles then piracy does to Pc gaming.

A great game is King's bounty the legend. It is a cross between an RPG/strategy. Heroes of might and magic and an RPG. I kept looking at the game for years but thought it was going to be a cheesy horrible game, but I was proven wrong. The game is very challenging but rewarding.

Eve is not a friendly game. Its not an easy game. Its a high concept game. Some might say "arent games suppose to be fun, relaxing, easy to understand?". To me that just means its shallow. In eve you start off as a person who doesnt know what the hell is going on but can learn to do anything. Become infamous, rich, or be a bum living off the good will of others. The things that are offered are many The end game has massive battles, political intrugie, battles for space. Even ownership of sections of space. Its funny how little thing like being able to put your name on it. Its such a simple concept. However, it is very powerful. People will fight tooth and nail for that space. Defend it till all their hard work is destroyed. Even when they know there is no hope. What other game can you actully place an object (space station) a joint effort of often hunderdes of people. Put it in the game and its there forever. You still have to defend the space to keep it, but once it is created it is there until the game is shut down. I mean these things arent easy but rewarding. Some times you have to invest time to learn whats going on in the game. Other games often boast of a player economy. Eve doesnt boast. Damn near every ship you will fly is created by someone. Most of the equipment you use is made by someone. Even alot of the ammo is player created. I could go on and on but the point is. Sure its not easy to understand, sure you sacrifice a bit of control. Once you dig deeper into eve you would understand that even though you cant directly control the ship. There is alot of indepth strategy in Eve combat.

[QUOTE="fireforge_basic"]This may sound crazy, but learning to use a computer is actully a skill. Not many applications I have applied for asking do you have console gaming skills. Plenty have do you have computer skills.ChiliDragon
And how many of those plenty ask if your skills are in computer gaming, or in actually working on/with a computer?

Yes, but the knowledge to get all games to work often teaches you more then you learn in basic college level computer class's.

Stuipd spacing issue with my text. By your thinking we should take food from the starving so more people die. So more people can see dead starving people around so we can now seriously address the problem.

I sure hope this guy doesn't go to the samerestaurant twice because, im sure he would get a nice suprize in his food.Whether you think your cause is right or wrong. Yourmethodto fix it sounds like it based on personal gain than accomplishing some "greater cause".
