This thread brings up an often overlooked point though. If there are X number of concurrent users. How many more sales are there.. I would imagine that there are significantly more players NOT playing the game they bought.
Basically I do not think PC sales are as bad as everyone says, sure...
Steam sale figures are never divulged afaik.
To put this in a better perspective "Forbes reports that Steam sales contribute 50 to 70% of the $4 billion market for downloaded PC games, and that Steam offers games producers gross margins of 70% of purchase price, compared with 30% at retail."...
Sick days are paid....
I rarely get sick and it's never enough to warrant a call off. I worked through bronchitis last month, against doctor's orders,which was the first time since 06 that I've gotten sick. If it's enough that I would not be able to come in, I would be taking medical leave +...
You are one of the best posters imho, but do not ever call CoD/BF a twitch shooter. It's nothing like a twitch shooter ala UT/Quake. Sorry it's a snails pace.. it's more difficult shooting a newb in ut/quake that can't move. You do not pull 370 degree shots to keep momentum in less than 1 second...

Oh wait I actually yearn for those days again because it...
No, you're not the only one sitting out a shitty franchise of a game that has absolutely no appeal to me and some of the most laughable game mechanics I've seen in my 25+ years of gaming.
OBVIOUS ALERT: THIS IS AN OPINION AND NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU DISAGREE WITH IT IT'S INDISPUTABLE.
I will continue to hope that it's not gone because it's my most favorite form of gaming. The only thing a new Arena shooter could do to improve the experience for me is add good match-making and competitive features out of the box with superb netcode while having the depth of UT/Quake.
I will...
That's like saying chess is a bad game. Dueling has always been more about outwitting your opponent. In fact by definition it's quite the opposite of dull.
CoD is nothing like a twitch shooter. CoD is slow paced no matter how fast it seems to you.
When people refer to twitch shooters they are talking about arena shooters with armor/weapon pick-ups and advanced movement options for traversing the map quickly.
I would also like to see one made...
