| Shadow1980 said: Digital is a trap. People complain about publishers doing shitty things, and most of us railed against MS's original DRM plans for the XBO. Now some are hoping to basically hand total power over the distribution chain over to the console makers? May as well not even bother with consoles anymore. Everybody seems to think "Well, it works for PC," but consoles aren't PCs and never will be. Not only have the laws regarding software on PCs and consoles always differed (physical consoles games benefited from the first-sale doctrine, which never applied to PC software)l, but consoles are closed platforms with only one possible digital storefront and thus no competition on a given platform, unlike PC which is an open platform that can have as many digital distributors as the market can bear. GameStop may have some questionable business practices, but this has been common knowledge for years. They are a necessary evil IMO. I have no doubts that if console gaming goes full digital (which will have to be forced as no other entertainment medium has gone 100% digital) the gamers will be fucked over royally. |
Qft.

The name is an inside joke. If one of the other guys made a prediction that ended up being true Colin would claim it was he who made the prediction (in jest) and it became a running joke amongst their fans. |
I didn't know that since I never really watch podcasts and especially so for when they worked at IGN. Still, never really cared for Colin. Pardon my French but he seems too bitchy lol.

I already had the impression of Colin being kind of a pretentious guy from time ago, even if i don't hate it or dislike it, he is just a bit pretentious, and now he creates a section called this... yeah i can't help but think there is a conection between my impression of Colin and this title, he was the one that decided to call it that way and he is a guy with big ego, you can see that from a mile away. |
Yep.
