I have a greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for the banned, and you curse the Moderation Team.
You have that luxury.
You have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That everyone's silences, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.
We use words like quality, fun, and respect. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent moderating something. You use them as a punchline. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way.
Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a topic, and post some quality. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you are entitled to.

i'm going to make this clear right here right now. calling something crap isn't the issue. what is the issue is your cancerous attitude to anything you don't like. you abuse whoever and then blow up the mods when you get silenced for your horrible behaviour, then act like you've done nothing wrong. i've seen what you've been silenced for, and you if honestly believe you've done nothing to earn those silences, then you need to grow the hell up. you shit on mods for not helping explain silences, so i give you advice and you get snide and shitty about it. tell me, why should we bother helping you when you need our help when you're just going to treat us like shit anyway.Green Platinum wrote:
You should perm ban me then for calling crap for what it is then.
next time you complain about mods being unfair, just remember that you put yourself in the situation you're in. stop blaming people for the mess you got yourself in.
I give people the respect I think they deserve. If they post in a "Your reaction to" thread and cry when they don't get the happy response they wanted my opinion of them diminishes quickly and this part of me wont change with silences.
But why would you waste your time doing that? You're literally arguing with 14 year-old kids.Green Platinum wrote:

I don't even know why I bothered with my userpage at this point.

We've been having a bit of trouble with weather as well. I live in a rather ok climate-wise place, 20-27C here lately, but Rio has consistently gone over 40C and even southern cities are reaching that point. More expected here since summer is coming, but...

I've been gone and already there hasn't been any activity in the BN for this month. No new BNs, I don't know about BN removals, no activity in the forum, literally nothing.
It's frustrating that I literally have to baby the staff into doing shit correctly. I'd hope that the people with time to dedicate to this game would be actually doing so. If I had the choice, I'd drop all of this bullshit schooling to make sure everything was running as actively as possible. But nowadays I don't even have time to think about this game because I'm either busy with school or wishing I was dead.
It's like a living hell
I have no mouth but I must scream

I think you need to find something else to do with your time.
Are my french people ok. You guys had such a situation yesterday.

for some reason, this angers me greatly
Well, yeah. Anyone would be angry if they bought that expecting a physical copy of the game, only to find that it's not there.
As much as I despise physical media and refuse to use it, it's incredibly shitty that you can't actually get the game data on a disc anymore.
Kinda defeats the point of physical media.

i really want to get it, but i really don't like EA
Please don't.
Just play Battlefront 2 instead. Now that game is a classic~

People still buy the (digital) game for the same price as the actual CD, what's in it for the companies to waste $$$ on making discs when they can just get people to purchase a digital copy of it. More $$$ in their pocket. But a plus side to (digital) games is that you can always have that copy (as long as you have the credentials to whatever you downloaded it off of) forever, and it won't get dusty, broken, stolen, snapped or lazer burned.
why bother sell the game in retail stores then? just skip the middle man and continue making people to use origins like they're already trying to do
To be honest I have absolutely no idea since I hear that after all expenses are incurred the publisher only gets like $14 out of the sale of a $60 retail game compared to a split that must be massive for a digital sale.
There's absolutely no point to buy physical for PC anymore unless you like boxes.

-> more money for the publishers and a couple jobs lost in retail. Also a lot more friendly for the environment, because you skip production of the CD, the box it would come in, and emissions from the transport of the boxes (to get them to the retailers).deadbeat wrote:

Seems like a nice trade-off, provided that you don't work in retail.
only reason i can think of is heavy internet caps. i had to be rather selective of what games i downloaded/updated when i was only getting 50GB a monthMahogany wrote:

Well yeah, that's a good reason to buy physical, but as we can see, there are a lot of games nowadays where the physical box doesn't contain anything other than a download code and a steam installer...
It depends on the game store and I doubt gamestop and the likes need to be supported and I don't think a store that's small enough to deserve your support would stock PC games tbh ._.
It kind of makes sense, thoughMahogany wrote:

Modern AAA games tend to require 30GB+ space, and shipping that on DVDs would give people flashbacks to installing Windows 95 using floppy disks.
Of course you could put the game on a single bluray instead, but then there's the problem that bluray drives never really got into the mainstream PC market. Bluray drives themselves came around at a time when optical drives were already being phased out of the PC world and now there are more PCs without an optical drive than there are PCs with one.
Not to mention the issue of the price of a Bluray drive compared to a DVD drive, even now Bluray is still expensive in comparison with the cheapest Bluray drive available being almost 5 times more expensive than the cheapest DVD drive. And it's the same story with the disks, while a pack of 100 empty DVDs can be bought for 25 USD*, a pack of 25 Bluray disks costs upwards of 100 USD*.
Of course since these prices come from consumer stores, they are probably lower for a corporation looking to slap the same data on a few hundred thousand disks. They should still represent the difference, though.
All in all, releasing games on Bluray disks is expensive and, for PC games, caters to an extremely small market. You might say that games could be released on USB drives instead, which I totally agree would be cool, but while those could be used by everyone with a PC, publishers would once again run into the price issue. USB drives are even more expensive compared to DVDs than Blurays are, and including one big enough to fit a modern AAA game with each "physical" copy of the game would be ridiculous from that perspective. And releasing games on DVDs is silly because then you'd have to include like 10 or more disks.
