And then those developers/publishers would lose money because if very few people buy the XBone, they won't see any money while people who play PS4 and WiiU will pay money for other games on those consoles.
Don't the blind usually have someone around them that helps them read things that they can't feel through braille?
I mean, don't get me wrong, this is a dick move by the administration, but shouldn't the blind people get their friends who can see to help them out in this?
I would not mind Microsoft's attempt at killing the used game market if the price of new games were drastically reduced.
Won't ever happen.
Once you no longer have to compete, why lower the price at all?
Remember this, the RIAA said that once they changed everything from cassette to CD the prices of albums would go down.
Except that they didn't, they went from 17.99 for a CD, vs 14.99 for a cassette, to 22.99-25.99 for a CD within a year.
You think Microsoft won't go "hey, no more used game market" and take the price from $60 to $80 or $100 in the US and push higher prices in Australia and the E.U. as well? And since there's no used game market anymore, older games on the console will remain at an extremely high price until the servers are no longer working, so, if you wait, you get screwed heavily.
Re: "Normally, we give the studios the benefit of the doubt" Really??
He does, bob, as he said in a post above this one, he calls into question the automatic process.
And, as I pointed out, he generally just questions the validity of it, but nothing more.
You know, like how portions of the press are questioning the IRS's actions taken against conservative political groups. There's nothing illegal about it, however, you can still question the validity of it.
Seriously, I can't defend this kid. He needs to learn something that most of North America should at some point. It's called discretion.
Free speech is awesome. So is using your brain and learning when to bridle your tongue.
Why? Why should we curb our speech? Because it's offensive? Because someone doesn't like what we say?
I call bullshit and say your mother sucks toads to get high.
Yes, that can be offensive, maybe as offensive as your father the day you were born, I mean, seriously, those shorts should never be worn by anyone, man.
Look, we don't need to curb our speech unless said speech can endanger a person's life like yelling "fire" in a crowded theater when there is one or use hate speech to cause a riot, etc.
Making a song about doing dangerous things?
No reason to lock the kid up, maybe get him some counselling or something, but locking him up?
That's something that tyrants and terrorists use to take care of speech they don't like.
And this is some strong language, but bear with me.
It isn't here because as much as the 'PC master race' likes to stroke itself, the real winner in the end is the goddamn smartphone. Let's be honest once and for all, the smartphone market is outselling, all by itself, PC AND consoles combined, isn't losing steam in the slightest, and is bringing in enormous profits for little effort for devs and publishers.
In the end, the tiny little piece of shit phones that every hipster twat shows off are the real winner, and the 'hardcore' gamers and 'PC master race' can just watch and gnash their teeth because for all PCs are more versatile, they lack the sheer selling power that smartphones have.
Smartphones are really ruining everything nowadays...
The problem is with the debt problem, the government doesn't make the paper money, the banks do. (Fractional Reserve Lending)
In order to fix the debt problem, the banks can't be allowed to do FRL anymore and the government has to set how much money gets made every year with strict guidelines.
Of course, there's more to it, but that's the basic gist of it.
Ron Paul's been consistent with most of his positions over the years.
Which is, despite his ideas at times, the biggest draw to him.
There's some hypocrisy, but we're human, we're all hypocrites, but at the same time, he was always against wars like Afghanistan, Iraq, Vietnam, the bombings that Clinton did in in the late 90s, he was against the sanctions of Iraq, stating that something bad would happen to the US (back in 1998 he called that). He warned against the Housing Bubble Collapse in 2003/2004, he wanted to get rid of paper money and replace it with coined money (as it's harder to manipulate), even if I disagree with his position on it needing to be gold or silver, at least he's always been consistent about it.
Paul wanted to pull troops home from around the world and turn the money that the US was spending on foreign entanglements towards our infrastructure...
So, yeah, his ideas might not always be the best ones, but looking at his record, he was the best candidate that never became President.
Also, he never voted for raising pay for members of Congress.

Familiar tactic...
"No."

"No."
"Uncle, can I spy on journalists?"
"Eh, sure, why not?"
I guess the DoJ is run by a bunch of 6-year-olds.
