Comment In: Several out of work as Valve makes 'large decisions' about its future [News - 02/13/2013 - 12:47]
Interesting. Surely Valve have fired ... Interesting. Surely Valve have fired people before and I haven 't seen such a big deal being made about it. I wonder what 's different now, I hope how open Gabe has been with news outlets in more traditional channels lately isn 't causing people to put an unnecessary magnifying ...

I'm 100 certain that those ... I'm 100 certain that those who say the game will die post b.net2.0 are kidding themselves. To this day PvPgn servers are running for starcraft 1, and see just as much, if not more use than the official b.net servers... Sure Blizzard are making a big deal about it now ...

Comment In: Over 140,000 Users Queue For WoW's Virtual Items [News - 04/16/2010 - 01:51]
Yep, this was a great ... Yep, this was a great move for Blizzard, but a horrible step backwards for gaming as a whole... Imagine if the mass media got hold of this. People pay 25 for an object in a game which has no impact on the game itself I've made numerous posts on this ...
