Comment In: Report: Worlds.com Hits NCsoft With Patent Infringement Suit [News - 12/30/2008 - 01:38]

I think the growing theme ...

I think the growing theme in America would be, If the ship is sinking, sue someone else From what I'm seeing here, suing/patent trolling apparently takes less energy than coming up with original ideas to patent or developing any type of useful technology. Just hire yourself a rabid lawyer and ...

Comment In: Gamasutra's Best of 2008: The 5 Most Significant MMO Trends [News - 12/24/2008 - 05:11]

Aaron, If that's the case, ...

Aaron, If that's the case, I think your company's approach to microtransactions is great, because it doesn't offset the balance of the gameplay. That's where it becomes important that the developers are gamers themselves. In that respect, we can all understand the things that are frustrating, like imbalanced core mechanics. ...

Comment In: Opinion: Key Principles For Coping With Game Team Meltdown [News - 12/29/2008 - 05:14]

I don't think this article ...

I don't think this article has received enough positive feedback. It's incredibly true that negativity can spread like the plague and is almost always unproductive in the end. Sure you can't control other people, but you shouldn't cop out and let yourself become part of the problem. You'll keep more ...

Comment In: Kotick: Vivendi Titles Dropped Due To Lack Of Sequel Potential [News - 11/06/2008 - 05:53]

I was pretty baffled when ...

I was pretty baffled when I originally read that Ghostbusters was dropped Now that I see this, the confusion only deepens. I mean, there's totally sequel potential, as well as a built-in audience spanning at least two generations. How does that look like a bad idea again

Comment In: Report: Blizzard Looking At Paid Character Customization For WoW [News - 10/13/2008 - 06:18]

This is going to take ...

This is going to take a lot of careful consideration on their part, if that's really what they want to do with their already successful franchise. What works in the East doesn't necessarily work in the West. Looking at my own experiences, I know American gamers that would probably bail ...

Comment In: Maryland Lab Files Latest Patent Suit Against Nintendo [News - 08/21/2008 - 05:35]

This is ridiculous... If Hillcrest ...

This is ridiculous... If Hillcrest has such a great deal of respect for Nintendo and has already licensed their technology to so many other manufacturers, then why didn't they just go and get a huge, legitimate licensing fee from Nintendo instead of trying to blockade the entire U.S. Wii market ...
