"This is just a shitty situation as a whole. People losing their jobs over economic hardship is awful, regardless of your opinion of them. I haven't been to gamespot since like 6-7 months before the Jeff incident even happened, but I do remember Aaron as a pretty cool guy. I think he'll land on his feet, like most people axed over there. I'm sure they have great connections, and they've got the work history to make them attractive to just about any employer in their field."
Wounder if we will see these guys at Giantbomb anytime in the future. Also a quick question how exactly does Giantbomb make money? I know you had advertisements up but they are gone now and I'm kinda curious as to how this company makes it money.
I agree, I try to wait for price drops to buy my games. Some games just don't drop though like Halo 3 or Gears of War 2. I managed to pick up Call of Duty 4 up last year for less than $40 new at Best Buy becuase of a sale and thats how I'm getting Far Cry 2, less than $40 new at Best Buy. Saved $20 so now I can also buy the DLC for it too. :)
"no one should be buying these atleast until they patch the game."
QFT, Epic please, I'm not going to pay $10 for 3 maps when your online game is practically still in Beta form with no word of a patch. I'm sorry. Single Player was amazing but some of the problems you should have fixed back in Gears 1 are still present if not worse.
I try to buy all my games when their less than $40 to save money, unless I really want a game like Gears of War 2. Really I think charging $60 for new game (now its$90 for a Limited Edition) is just outrageous. Banjo Kazooie Launched at $40, why can't Gears of War 2, Fable II ect. People pirate games becuase they are too expensive. Lower the price on games = lower piracy rate (in theory).
"I bought this the first day the PC version showed up in stock...
not because it is DRM-free, but because it had positive reviews (waves at Brad), fantastic looking art style, and I was able to pick it up brand new for $30.00 Canadian. Fun + cheap == Mawryk buy.
I do think the point that Ubisoft is trying to make is probably valid - this game will likely end up being pirated just as much as a DRM-ed game. Most people who pirate games to play them will do so regardless. There is probably just a very small minority of uber-assholes who will download a pirated copy of a game that is "riddled" with DRM but without actually playing the game. "
But that in turn is good. If this game gets Pirated just the same as a game with DRM it will show companies that the pain in the ass DRM is useless.

Your buddy stalks you just out of sight and only waits for you to almost die before helping in a fire fight. 121. Your phone is a one way device only capable of accepting incoming calls. 122.
