• On the post: The Plight Of Iranians Trying To Make A Video Game About The 1979 Revolution

  Nothing New.

  The Iranian revolution was about the dumb toothless masses invading the evil city folk.
  
  Seems like another zombie apocalypse. The stupid uneducated Muslim country people are the zombies.

  Re: Re: Re:

  I see, so everything European is gold now. Why don't you move to Europe, since apparently American constitutional rights to freedom of religion aren't good enough for you.
  
  The founders feared the dumb masses just as the Romans did, and that's why they established a country where we were ruled laws not men.

  Re: Re: What would you people do with yourselves...

  Let's say this wasn't Scientology, and just some seller who was the victim of this venomous bitch.
  
  The point is that when you make every little thing that they do a big production, it tends to make you seem like big drama queens.
  
  You are the beliebers of scientology.

  Re: Re: What could go wrong?

  What about the dumb bitch who left the negative review? She is just allowed to continue being a hysterical whack job?

  What would you people do with yourselves...

  What would you people do with yourselves without Scientology to make you think that you are doing this great service to mankind.
  
  Here's the thing. The scientology lady was right. She/They made a simple mistake and this dumb bitch "vomited up" negative feedback. I don't blame her/them for getting angry.

  Re: Re: Libertarian Stooge Brigades Out In Force!

  I bring it up because this is the only way to prove a point to all the crazed shrugging atlas' out there.
  
  To them conning and crapping over regular people is natural market functioning.
  
  So I brought up that a large part of this market is underage kids who have little power in order to see if the hypocrites will still blame consumers for shit products produced by shit company.

  Re: Insider point of view

  You are fucking liar. I know many of the assholes from EA. They are mostly elderly middle manager stooge types.
  
  They have seldom even played a game. The company has an above average ratio of corporate douchebaggery.
  
  Your personal point of view is shit. This is my personal point of view from a number of interactions within the firm itself, primarily Santa Monica HQ.
  
  So please hold back on the sludge, the plumber is in town!

  Re: Re:

  Prove that it doesn't? Why should consumer need to prove something they have no access to. Where is an independent third party which has access to the code and can verify? Otherwise you are full of shit.

  Re: Re:

  Children aren't even of legal age! They are not trusted legally to make rational choices and thus not held responsible.
  
  Kid could shoot you in the face and still be out in time for his sweet sixteen party.
  
  So how is it that you hold them responsible for knowing what really happens in the real world, and being able to rationally realize that supporting EA, just continues the BS...

  Libertarian Stooge Brigades Out In Force!

  I see from the comments here that all the regulars are out in full force. Anarcho-Capitalist Market Masturbators and apologist 'level headed' response drones.
  
  The only one missing from the festivities is some teabagger finding a way to blame Obamacare. (here is some help, like you tards need it... "EA couldn't afford game testers because of the Obamacare!!!!")
  
  ...but I digress, of course none of sociopath Ayn Rand Beaters will address the moral quandary. When you have a group of sociopath's profiting from, mostly, minors who are not in any legal sense considered rational actors.
  
  So why should we consider them rational actors in an economic sense? When they purchase that game from some asshole at EA who hasn't played a video game since the pac-man machine broke down at the local country club, there will obviously be compromises in quality. These kids are unable to grasp the long term impact that their poor choices have on the industry as a whole.
  
  Their poor choices are dooming all of us to buggy crashing games coded partially in India, all because they saw something shiny on TV, and our government fails to protect it's own citizens from what amounts to false advertising and digital snake oil.
  
  So put that in your crack pipes and smoke it!

  Re: Re: Thats it damn it!!!

  How can anything they say be taken seriously and credibly when United States law allows them to lie, actually demands that they lie. It's impossible to know.
  
  However, all this talk of software vulnerabilities seldom touches on the huge elephant in the room of hardware manufacturers. Intel, Nvidia...

  Re: Re:

  The point is that the real abuse is happening in a way that the upper levels may not even be aware of.
  
  If Snowden gained this much access, other probably have it as well. Companies, Private Investigators, Foreign Government pay a lot of money for information obtained from blackmarket sources.
  
  How many Snowdens are out there whose purpose is purely profit driven?

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Re:

  Imagine using a torrent which your cable company sends you in order to download your favorite shows. It's easier than dealing with all the virus.

  Re: Re: What about all the good things Cable companies do?

  One advance is how now you can find your favorite shows on the channels internet web page, and you just need to prove you're a cable subscriber to watch it over the internet instead on your TV.
  
  Also, it's really cool how most providers offer you free email accounts. Everyone in the family can have their own emails.
