    Ad Revenues Hit Nearly $7 Billion in Q1

    I don't mind ads when they're not crazy annoying. Most of the time it seems like H has some of the more annoying ads. I want to support the site because I get lots of my tech info from here, but I shouldn't have to endure eye melting, annoying ads. If they were reasonable I wouldn't complain...

    GameStop Sells Played Games As New

    Oh, and I forgot to mention that Gamestop once offered returns on new games in case you didn't like it. How nice would that be if that was still in place now for those $50-60 games that turn out to be horrible crap.. Oh well.. they were sued back in 2003 so they removed that portion of the...

    GameStop Sells Played Games As New

    This sounds like complete bullshit. Seriously, did you make this up? Even if the guy behind the counter was being a complete ass, he could have easily done a defective exchange within the first month of purchase as it's explained in the return policy. I don't believe a word of your 'story'.

    GameStop Sells Played Games As New

    When I buy any opened new (display) copies from Gamestop they show me the disk before they re-seal it. I don't know what the hell is going on elsewhere but my local store has been straightforward with me, at least.

    GameStop Sells Played Games As New

    Actually not much is going to happen because it's posted in writing on their return policy which is viewable before you buy anything. I figured it was common knowledge that this was going on, it's been happening for the past 5+ years. If it really was a big deal, why did it take so long for...

    Grand Theft Auto 4 PC Uses SecuROM DRM

    I must be lucky because all the games I've ever played has never had any problems. In fact I didn't even notice it had any sort of protection to speak of, just leave the disk in the drive and you're all set. I'm sure some people had some problems with various games, but some people also make...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Well, the thread has easily gone off the main topic. But pretty much people are freaking out over stuff that probably won't even happen. And then using that as a reason to boycott and/or steal.

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Software has never been "yours", what your paying for is the license to legally use the software. Think of it like leasing a car; you pay for it, they keep it maintained, but you never own the car. Also, just because you paid money for a game doesn't give you exclusive rights to their...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Well then take a stand. Stop being all talk, stealing from the shadows, and openly steal while giving them your name/info and why you stole it. Maybe if enough people did that they would change their ways. But as long as people are being cowards about it nothing will ever come from it but...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Listen, you chose to buy it, you gave the money, they don't have mind control over you and they stole nothing of yours. And if you actually did a little research you would know about the "revoke" system, and the fact they will give more activations if needed. Chances are, most people won't ever...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    No one is forcing you to buy games. It's entertainment, not something you need to survive. Don't like a game company? Don't buy their stuff, but it's not a 'green light' to just straight up steal their property.

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    I guess companies just never patch their games either? Pretty much every release of Unreal Tournament, it requires the CD to be in the drive to play it. Months later, they release a patch and they (the developer) remove the requirement of having the CD in the tray. What is stopping EA or...

    EA sued over Spore DRM (Not A "Bash" Thread)

    Ah, a class-action lawsuit. Where the "victims" get a fraction of the winnings while the Lawyers are laughing all the way to the bank. I'm not surprised at all about this becuase people like making easy money, and suing companies can be the easiest of money to be made. It's also rather...
