  1.) Minecraft may be be turn into subscription-based game. The groundwork has been actually going on for a long time since Minecraft Realm was introduced. With recent EULA enforcement, they are successfully destroying a lot of big 3rd party servers. The whole system is ready, and it is just a matter of turning the switch on.   2.) Modding scene will be killed. I see some of modders are already stopping the work; Microsoft has been very anti-modding from very start, and...

http://uplay.ubi.com/en-US/   As first launch, the software lacks so many essential features, but what made me disrupting is that it seems it can access to my Ubisoft-related profile without asking permission... It did not ask any log-in information, yet somehow it found my account and automatically logged on.   It's like Origin scaning Steam folders for EA games and add them for its own, but I think it is far more aggressive approach.

You just don't answer them at all.   http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/05/02/hard-questions-black-ops-2-multiplayer-cheats-dedicated-servers-lan-support/     Probably will pick it up when it goes for sale.

DRM is not just a annoying tool for legit customers. Not just a useless method to go against pirates. Not just a features to calm down shareholders and execs.       It is, both unintentionally and intentionally create 'monsters'.       Like Apple with its stronghold on music industry.   Like Amazon which just had 90% share on Ebook market and 75% on all online physical book market a year ago (and fall down to 60%, and about...

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/02/29/first-simcity-5-screens-and-details-surface/   So, I realized that I had to wait for 10 years to finally getting proper sequel for Simcity series.   Imagine how much I have to wait for  Baldur's Gate 3.....

Disclaimer: I had not played 2009 version.     So far I am impressed. I feel it's easy-version (or you can say negatively, dumbed-down version) of Simcity series. While I miss encountering RCI zoning nightmare and other detailed stuffs which are missing from this game, it has plenty of basics of city builder. Graphics are fine while optimization may need some work (but it is perfectly acceptable.)   How's anyone else's thought?

....is NOT bugs/glitches on Singleplayer (for console's case), no private match option (for consoles again), not-working server browser (for PC), crappy hit registration and so many things on UI that gone completely wrong and lame.... (well, above problems already made this game garbage as I wrote on previous thread, but..)     It's lack of contents.   Simply, there aren't enough maps and weapons to toy with. There are only 8 maps, and most of them are restricted...

  Holy crap, this is prime example of "garbage". And they are charging 60$ for this.   Only saving grace is that they actually managed to optimize their game engine (smoother gameplay than BFBC2), but otherwise if you are buying this game, you are buying it for singleplayer.   No need of asking questions, just download it now and play yourself how bad this game is.
