@TromboneTony: THQ is not doing this to try and support itself, they are not that dumb, they get to be seen in a positive light by promoting charity and by supporting different business models. All of these games except for saints row have been available for 5 bucks each during the steam sale, if someone is not going to buy a game at 5 bucks then their probably never going to buy them. This is THQ milking the last bit out of these games and all of these games except for Red Fraction have or there will soon be a another game in the franchise. Someone might get this deal, play metro 2033 or the company of heroes games and really love it, and as a result buy metro light or the new company of heroes game.

Not to mention at least two of these games have DLC for THQ and Valve to make more money on and one has a sequel out. Give away a razor to sell blades and all that.

I gave them $10. Before you have a fit about that, bear the following in mind:

I already had all the games except for the CoH add ons. I doubt I am going to play those add ons ever.

Heck before this deal, I already had a free extra copy of Red Faction Guerilla(360) that I got mailed to me for buying Darksiders and registering a code that came with it, and a free extra copy of Darksiders (360) that I got mailed to me for buying either Red Faction:Armageddon or 40K Space Marine. (I forget which). I already had SR3. I doubt I'll play that any more. I already had Metro 2033. Not gonna play that again. I already had Red faction: Armageddon too (not one of my better purchases really).

I sent them $10 to download the soundtracks really.

But...is it sexist?

Oh.

She has a point, just a shame it dominated those specific Giant Bomb shows. Also, I am not sure the reaction from the community would've been different if it was a man doing the exact same thing. Interesting though.

Twice in a row, a year apart, the second time after knowing how the first went down? It should be okay because it was only "occasional" ? The problem was everyone being unfair?

This industry wastes money, is constantly consolidating, generally treats developers like crap and testers like utter shit, customers are treated poorly by stuff like DRM and attempts to shut down used sales, payola and black lists abound, and the big problem the industry faces is sexism? Hah!

No.

The big problem this industry faces is that gaming is an UNETHICAL INDUSTRY in general. It is corrupt, wasteful, cruel, litigious, incompetent, dishonest, greedy, insular, unfocused, anti-customer, full of stupid PR chasing wanna be rock-star loud mouths, and is generally financially failing, from stem to stern. It's a dysfunctional shameful mess.

Hi my name is Blastroid and I am an addict gamer:

New to the site and have no clue why I have not found it before. I consider myself a hardcore gamer or a buy everything gamer. A friend introduced me to the site. On a daily basis I visit a number of gaming related site for review articles/videos, and just game gibber gabber.

Are you going to get Wasteland 2 when it comes out?

http://wasteland.inxile-entertainment.com/

Did you buy the new XCOM: Enemy Unknown from Firaxis ? Torchlight 2 ?

Tom Chick is not challenging to read nor does he make me think. He's merely a snarky empty contrarian with an old schtick. I take him and his antics about as seriously as I would something Andy Dick would do drunk.

Too Human should get a sequel! That game had a ton of little design flaws that could easily be fixed in a second game.

I can agree with this but I want it outsourced to someone else. Let SK hand over a broad design and some concepts, and let someone else execute it without Denis being allowed to publicly talk about or overseee it. Same goes for an Eterenal Darkness sequel.

Your politics are dumb

My politics are great.

My politics are awesome,

You? You'll never find a mate.

Your politics are dreadful.

While my politics they rule!

I'd tell you more about them

Man,

But you would stare and drool.

Vote against my nightmares

Vote to stroke my sacred cow

You should have voted early

But there ain't no time like now.

Your politics are dreadful.

Take the old version off. Let the new one sell for a while. Put the old version back on.

So the BFG edition is basically New Coke?

I find it amusing that the company line for id is that they're looking into their options as if none of this was up to them...

Old person detected! Greetings ancient one. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and stay out of the sun. Don't push yourself too hard!
