I love how video games are seen as a threat because they glorify violence, while our obsession with guns is considered perfectly ok.

@kohle36 Good on you for bringing some context to this story! I feel my nerd rage subsiding and rational thought coming back.

Is it really that bad that EA is bidding on THQ? Honestly, better them than Activision or *shudders* Zynga.

"The graphical style is characterised by very clean, dark lines."

Why would you describe the graphics of this game in such a way? Is this game going to be a coloring book, because that's the only thing I can think of that is "characterized" by its "clean, dark lines." ... I guess this will be as big a change as moving from GBA to DS was.

@another_drew If they don't think they can make a console game better than Pokemon black, then they have issues. It feels like they are dragging their feet on this.

It is a console release?! I feel like Game Freak just keeps pokemon (main series) on hand helds so that they don't have to change or update it drastically.

This story is surprising, as I figured homosexual romance would already be in there. It is Bioware after all.

The comments, however, are not surprising. Ridiculous, yet entirely expected...

I guess I have something to put on my resume now.

@xolivierx thank god for pc, the ultimate backwards compatible machine.

I hate the justification of things like this. Companies assume that a second hand sale is money out their pocket, when in reality it's not. They just see every used sale as a potential first purchase and calculate how much they "lost" as a result of those sales. It's not that they are losing money, they just see how much money they aren't getting.
