    Windows Turns 30 Today

    Remember all too well. Even though I shipped DOS games up through DOS6.0 my first Windows game was on Windows 2.0 - BattleChess. A root canal with pain enhancers and lemon juice mouthwash was more fun to do.

    Sony Executive Weighs In On Possibility Of PS4 With Improved Performance

    Won't happen. Divides developer support on resources. Publishers want broadest audience and wont waste money on it. Most examples of this in the past only the platform holder really supported it. More importantly most were via add-ons not a whole new consoles to be purchased. Talking as an 8...

    Amazon Employees Cry At Their Desk And Practically Combust

    This will sound flippant, but welcome to almost every major games publisher in North America. Been there done that have way too many scars.

    RIAA Accuses CNET Of Hosting ‘Pirate’ Software

    And most of the time it went horribly wrong. Look at Sony Music circa 2004. F'ing rootkit with lousy security. They got hammered for it. Didn't even ask people within other groups if it was good. One of those Russian PoS DRM systems.

    White House Responds To 'Pardon Edward Snowden' Petition

    One thing I would like to point out. William Binney was a direct agency employee and had whistle blower protection. The NSA deliberty uses a ton of Beltway contractors to do a lot of this work. The reason is since they work for said Corporation and not the government they can NEVER qualify as...

    The Nintendo PlayStation That Almost Was

    One other item on the demise of this. Miyamoto HATED the extremely slow load times of the 2x CDRom drives at the time. He wanted the instant on of cartridges instead. This lead to the rather large and expensive to make carts of the N64. I will give it to Nintendo that when they went disc format...

    Gaming Deserves Neither Tax Breaks, Or Arts Funding

    Whelp independent developers for the most part do not do the Pump and Dump of employees that bigs do. The practice of "hiring" someone intil the end of the project and then "Ooops we are going to have to let people go" crap is the province of the Big Publishers. Thank you Ivy League MBA programs...

    Gaming Deserves Neither Tax Breaks, Or Arts Funding

    Ok, first thing Hollywood gets a crap load of tax breaks across this country so claiming that this is just a luxury item and shouldn't get tax breaks is crap. As a nation there are a lot of countries including Canada/Canadian, as well as the EU (passed in 2014), and Australia (dont know if it...

    PC Games Are Making A Comeback

    One other really important point with digital distribution is inventory. You don't have any. Warehousing and retailer returns due to overstocking kill you. I don't know what the numbers are today but mid 90s it used to be a returned game cost you an additional 6 dollars per copy above and...
