  Re:

  Last year DC Universe Online went Free, they increased revenues by 700%
  
  Free is a billion dollar industry. Nobody is asking if Free to play games are working anymore, they are asking if pay to play games are.

  Re:

  They effectively bundled TF2 with something else people already wanted to buy, half-life 2

  
  
  No, you can get it stand alone.
  
  

  So, step 1 to having a successful free offering: start with a huge audience and leverage it.

  
  
  Nope, most F2P don't,actually. They start with no audience, and have to build from there.

  Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Even if I am not using my car, and therefor NOT deprived of anything, the simple act of taking use of the car without permission (not the act of denying me access to it) qualifies the action as STEALING. Just like the act of otaining access to a music file (while not depriving me of the file) is still theft.

  
  
  Except, you know, that is not what's happening at all. Its making a copy of your car, A FREAKING COPY. But I guess being full of shit is your specialty.

  Re: DRM and Paywall!

  So for everything you said to be true, reality needs to change into what you believe it is?

  I sold you the painting. I didn't sell you a copy of it, but if you want to paint one (a copy) of your own from it, then go for it.

  
  
  So then you agree, making copies isn't stealing. I'm glad we agree.
