Odds are in 20 years, you can download a game from today in about 12 seconds and play it on an emulator anyway.

I would say the odds of that happening are slim to none. In the event Sony or Valve went out of business, I would imagine they would release the DRM on their services. I think the idea that those services won't be around in 20 years barely has a chance of happening.

Owning 3 disks on my PS4 after playing almost nothing but digital on my PS3 has convinced me I can do an 'all digital' system. I already do on my PC.

Yeah, Frailty was really good. Nice little M. Night Shamalamadingdong ending too.

That's like a 3/10.

So is this a buy? I haven't followed the thread in a while, but pre-release it wasn't looking too good.

What if you play it alone? Does it suck?

When he came out with your Xbone, did you guys high-five each other?

Over 6000 people trying to download and log into what I assume is going to be one server? I'm guessing it will be a rough start!

Yeah, next up: McDonald's burgers aren't as good as the ones you make at home!

That's reality in 22 days.

I think Merlin is in the wrong thread or something. This isn't the EQN thread. There is no "pre-order" and yes, the alpha package charges you immediately.

I'll drive right through that shit!

That's like a serial killer's harddrive.

I would agree that it's overpriced, but I don't think it's bland and it's definitely better than Taco Bell. In the end, it's still 'fast food'.

They'll announced dwarf-rolling on the last day and fund no problem.

McCheese has permanent explosive diarrhea. He ain't fucking around when he says he'll eat 3 bowls.

Ok, ladies. Let's focus on this game that is never going to happen.

Yeah, the pre-alpha forums are garbage. They have said they are getting wiped once the real alpha starts though.

They have never said you would get it in any earlier than Feb 28th. I'm pretty sure all the Trailblazers, including the free keys they are giving out, get in at the same time. The servers at tomorrow's events are not the alpha servers. They have confirmed as much. I'm still hoping they give us...

So those same people who bitch are the same ones buying the alpha access? I would agree that's hypocritical. But a very large portion of gamers don't really give a fuck and just want to play and enjoy games. If the end result is still a game gets released as (mostly) promised, I don't really see...

Why does it suck? Honest question. How does it negatively impact the industry? You get people testing the game who were willing to shell out money and, thus, have a vested interest in actually testing/improving it. You can still pay absolutely nothing until the game is released, just like you...

The latest account created on the Alpha boards is #6506. Taking into account any SOE accounts, I'd say that's about right. 6400ish Trailblazers so far. That's only counting ones who have made the forum account, so probably a bit more than that.

Yeah, I loved Minecraft and am really looking forward into how they handle digging deep and exploration.

Yeah, that would pretty much explain why you "don't really see the point".

I let the first few posts go, but you're a broken record at this point. There's plenty to hate on in this thread without constantly harping on this shit.

Usually, when I poach/shred chicken, I just lightly salt the water. I'm almost always using the chicken in something that's going to get seasoned pretty well anyway.

At 12 kilos, you aren't going to buy in 1/8 oz pricing!

That sounds like something that will be available in the game itself somehow as well, right?

I usually just get it in a Kleenex and flush it when I'm done.

That would get me to pledge.

Closed beta start deadline is 3/31. Who knows how long they plan on keeping it closed, though.

To be fair, it doesn't really seem like they have any idea how you'll pay for playing. They just keep randomly adding more and more things, seemingly without a strategy.

Yup, I call him ponytail more affectionately than derogatory. I don't really have any experience with him outside of EQN and he seems genuinely excited about the project. It's hard to really hate on the guy.

Sorry to break it to you, but that 6000+ is how many users are actively reading the AMA sub-Reddit(that's the entire "Ask Me Anything" forum there, not just this one). There were far fewer watching this. The Brad McQuaid AMA had a total of 287 "votes", 84 of which were down-votes.

An art book is something that most people won't have a hard time imagining getting completed. An MMO, even from a major studio, is a risk.

It might have a shot if every single Kickstarter backer upvoted it. It might. But people can downvote as well and I'd guess this would get downvoted by thousands more than it would be upvoted.

Yeah, math gets you the first date, but you need to be charming after that. Sorry, math.
