Sad "news" for all of the PC community of the world

Nope not even close. Personally played 4 person Doom over NetBIOS creashing my employers poorly designed WAN (seagate if you must know) in 1993 and in 1991 this over IPX




And for that matter network snipes over IPX as well in 89

Nintendo had the Color TV Game Console in 1977 and NES in 1983. And I had an Atari in 1972.

Unbelievable, Koticks made this statment a few months back..

“if it was left to me, I would raise the prices even further.” -Bobby Koticks Activision Blizzard CEO

So he would raise the price to what? $70??? That would be about 75 bucks (plus tax for me) for a standard game. No collectors edition, and we'll come to find out all this mess??? I admit I wanted a collectiors edition, but even I would have to stop somewhere for standard version of the game that only comes with a DVD case and a book. And I remember reading people comments on serveral sites claiming its cause of inflation.. Yeah right

I'm trying to leave this alone lol

Six years difference does not equate to equal

I counted one year between 93 doom and the 94 inital start of Sega/ATT Edge 16 . I didn't said it equal.. I did say "just as long" Ok the key word is "just" Most of us know about the late 80's bbs, and all the other basment hobby type internet either by living it or reading in the book. Heck I watch WarGames movie Anyway, I wasnt trying to get all technical like that era. Maybe I could find something on Atari front lines from the 80's modems and gaming since they were always coming up with stuff What I should had said; "I kinda disagree" instead of just saying, "I disagree."

But as far as I can remember when I played Doom, and Duke Nukem 3d. Around that era, gaming service were starting to poping up; heat.net, Mplayer, Arcadia, ect... To me, "that" is when PC online gameing gain momentum. Not in some Hobby Lobby type experiment. As it was pointed it out by {CLR}geneSW, I missed interpit what DougBob was saying since I needed cliff notes lol

And they wonder why the stuff gets pirated.

Your average high school player or college age guy complain about having to pay $3.50 for a Burrito. And they're gonna fork over $70 bucks for a game when they know they can get it for free.

Do the math!

There will be absolutely no substance to this bs chat session. They will rinse and repeat what they have already regurgitated ad nauseum. Its just them wanting to spin it a little bit more. And will do nothing to change anyones mind. Ours or theirs.

There is no way that what they are proposing could ever take the place of a dedicated server. We know it , they know it, (and have known for a long time.) And the rest of the world knows it. Its all about us showin them the money. Plain and simple. Greedy bastages.

I hope the hacker world tears them a new one. Somebody needs to get organized and make sure they have more crap than they can deal with.
I'm that mad.

Thought this was kinda funny.

If they truly think the 'console way' is better, then allow players on all platforms to connect to the same games (so and Xbox can play against a PS3 and PC in the same game). Of course, there's only 2 ways that would happen. Either the console players would complain and quit playing when the much more powerful PCs ran circles around their overpriced Pong machines; or they'd have to cap PCs performance to the lower console level (in which case no one on PC would play the game).
