I'm not sure if it was a really short term deal or a mistake. I got in just in time. Sucks I didn't get the word out quick enough for you to get in on it too. Sorry.

Bester Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 (edited) The reason they set their price to $0 is to get all that hype, then revert the price and make it look like it was an accident. Such a **** move. Edited January 1, 2014 by Bester IE Mod for Pillars of Eternity: link

alanschu Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 I'm curious who the lead plaintiff would be. EA's stock is 99% owned by financial corporations and placed into things like RRSP mutual funds and so forth. Part of me has a hard time believing any of them would be a part of a class suit like this (I don't even know if a company can join a class action suit), but I could be wrong? The thing that seems weird to me is that they're suing on behalf of shareholders the entity in which the shareholders have shares. So if they win the shareholders... get paid their own money, in effect, plus devalue their own shares? Was gone for a bit but I'll try to not necropost too much. But my hunch is that it's more targeted towards those that sold their shares during the drop that would benefit the most from this.

Nepenthe Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Looks like Fallout 1 and 2 have been removed from GOG, too. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions
Zoraptor Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 Everyone knew that was coming due to the rights switch over- and at least everyone had a chance to get them free beforehand and they're still available if you did. More surprisingly they apparently should have been removed from steam as well as GOG, according to Pete Hines.

Zoraptor Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 The GOG announcement for the free copies of 1,2,T specifically said that they were being removed 31/12 due to Interplay's rights expiring and that was republished fairly widely (eg RPS) including the note that would be removed and why. I'll freely admit that that doesn't make the technical definition of everyone, but it's about as good as you can get in terms of notice and minimising the impact. I cannot think of any other reasonable way they could publicise it.
Nepenthe Posted January 2, 2014 Posted January 2, 2014 See, the proper definition of everyone would require that it has been posted on a board in an obscure corner of City Hall for at least a week. No way is THAT "everyone". You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Tale Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Marvel Activision games delisted from Steam due to lapse in publishing license This also extends to other digital stores apparently. This is the second time marvel has done this and it's getting a little annoying. And by "second," I mean it's actually the third. The second time I knew of was just a few months ago, but for Capcom. This is the second time with Activision. You still can't get the Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 DLC. I don't know common this is for licensed games, but Ghostbusters met the same fate, and it's also why you can't get Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth anymore. Entire games lost with no new copies to be sold seemingly ever again. "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Entire games lost with no new copies to be sold seemingly ever again. I'd think it's more common than people believe, for older games there would simply be no way to know it was happening. But even such high budget and high profile titles as the GTA3s have been pulled- temporarily, in their case, and due to music licensing issues supposedly. Might be a bit less common going forward as there may be enough financial reward to buy perpetual licenses since DD means that even old games can still be offered for sale easily and financially viably, but if Marvel or Warners want to be able to offer 'clean' licenses for their properties every few years they'll still time limit them.

Agiel Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) Gabe Newell on why Valve isn't "churning out Half-Life sequels": http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gabe-newell-on-why-valve-doesn-t-churn-out-half-life-sequels/1100-6416920/ You know Valve, you weren't exactly churning them out in the first place, and if the next Half-Life game was the last Half-Life game you ever made so you could put a rest to all the "Where's Episode 3?" calls, I would be okay with it if it ended as conclusively as Portal 2 (hell, even Portal 1 before the retcon) did. Because clearly you guys have lost all interest in making goddamn Half-Life, and pushing people into making something they don't want to make typically doesn't work out too well for all parties involved. Tom Chick's post on Quarter to Three is also quite apt: "What's most depressing about this (Valve investing so much into multiplayer micro-transactions) is that Valve has some folks over there who do an incredible job with narrative. It's a shame all this talent seems to be going into promotional stuff -- admittedly funny, but still just promotional stuff -- for Team Fortress or whatever.Why aren't the folks who told us the stories in Portal and Half-Life telling us more stories? Why isn't Valve putting out more smaller projects like Double Fine? Why aren't they using the enormous commercial success of Steam, TF, and DOTA to take creative chances?" Edited January 4, 2014 by Agiel Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling
Keyrock Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Last time I checked, Valve is doing just fine. They're making money hand over fist off Steam, DOTA 2 is a rousing success, and they're still suckering people into buying stuff with hats for Team Fortress 2. STILL. Face it, Valve doesn't need Half-Life 3. 1 RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
