@jonnybutler11 Then why did you generalise? I'm assuming you read other comments, so you'd be well aware how many ignorant atheists and agnostics there are out there too.
p.s As a statement, 'Religious people are ignorant sometimes', is entirely correct. The problem is the inference that non-religious people are not sometimes ignorant. You could just say, 'Some people are stupid/ignorant, and the rest of us are stupid/ignorant sometimes'.
@JustPlainLucas That's what I thought. 'Thou shalt not commit murder' is the sixth commandment, and if digital sin is an issue I can't see how a digital baptism fits in; its not worshipping another God or a false-idol, and it's not misusing Gods name (3 other commandments). The dude probably just realised he blew his phone bill and needed the $50 back?
@hydrobeast @ShadowofSonic Despite the fact that I gripe about MGS4 whenever it's mentioned (this is me doing it now anyway, sorry), the series is an awesome and epic story. After Assassin's Creed I was so impressed by the game and its story I was pumped for the sequels. Now I can't think of a game where I care less about the story element. Which is a shame because now for me they are just long, repetitive games with no relevant story to break things up. I can't say they're bad because they're obviously so popular, but to me the whole franchise has been a tremendous let down since AC2. I can't see myself getting Black Flag.
@Dasim64 Definitely the 40 second duet in the downstairs in the bar was a huge highlight for me in Infinite. A strange bit of rather melancholy respite. The song that hit me the most was a distorted and scratchy version of Pachelbel's Kanon in the room in the asylum where there is a recording of an Elizabeth saying that I had abandoned her. I couldn't stand being in that room. I love the song, and I felt (unusually for me in life, let alone a game) really upset in that moment.
@gamerboy100 The most relevant products to gaming are the fact the "first sale" doesn't apply to digital files and media, and also that it is illegal to resell software, which could potentially, in future, cover games.
Other junk you can't resell is stuff like medication, event tickets and consumer contracts, i.e. phone plans.
@gamerboy100 @BloodyAura There are many consumer products in the world that are already prohibited from resale, they wouldn't have to break, nor change, the law to prohibit game resale, just prove that there is merit in adding them to the list.
@DKant By far the biggest Arab country. Long time ally of America and the West. Strong ties to Turkey. Economically powerful. Being President of (80 million) Egyptians makes you the go-between guy for the US to much of the region. Arab countries also use Egypt as a mediator in their local troubles.
@Gallowhand @a_matuha @Oz0n3_holepunch Publisher costs are internal production costs. Marketing/distribution are always costed separately. In the entertainment industry especially returns to individuals/teams etc are calculated on sales (with whatever caveats) and maintaining separate books for marketing allows the publisher to more easily control its expenditure.
@Total_mischief @Lambchopzin Being passionate about something doesn't change the fact that it is still a job, and they do need to make money. Any dev, like any entrepreneur/business leader, would think about money more than almost anyone else.
