All this jargon is also implying that the console versions of the game were garbage.
I don't think that's how implying works, no one is sitting around expecting 6 year old consoles to perform as well as current PCs. The idea that the frame buffer is locked is such a rarity, I don't think you actually comprehend what the fixes actually achieved if you're under the assumption these are minor improvements. Something like hacking in widescreen support is minor; allowing modifications of textures, readjustment of the HUD, unlocking the frame rate, adding ambient occlusion are things that people wouldn't have expected even under a 'good' port.
So your cool with just paying for the costs of certification, even though the platform doesn't have a certification cost associated with it? That's like paying sales tax on something where tax isn't required and the retailer just pocketing the cash.
No one really cares about that outside of boardrooms, nor should they. PC versions are the best versions 90% of the time or more
So we shouldn't care about them having the ability to bypass cost cuts and advertently not pass it down to consumer level? And 90%, eh? So I'm guessing we're not taking EA games into this scientific statistic.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just have a separate rumors section of the site? For that matter, articles like "Some Thoughts on Molyjam" aren't really news either, and should be under some kind of other category as well. Basically, it's all good stuff, but I wouldn't consider it news. The word just seems to have a very loose definition nowadays.
And then exactly what? Where would it show up? Wouldn't it still be on the front of the site? What purpose would it functionally serve and do you think people would actually digest the information any differently? In any case, I think a listing showing up is news enough. In this case, Navarro missed the mark as anyone was able to look up the product listing themselves. I would classify that as news. It's not exactly a Best Buy page with name of unannounced game popping out of nowhere.
Anyone with a foot in the real world, knows EA despite their shenanigans shouldn't even come close to qualifying to make the bracket.
So, who's doing the voting? There hasn't been a video game company that has won, been runner up, or placed in the 5 past years they've been doing this.
