The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
Gamers are pretty entitled people. To be bitching about an offer made to prior customers or new customers that is not extended to current customers.
This is a standard business practice.
gamers are awful
mostly i think it's a problem of having been raised during an era of rampant piracy.
gamers expect to be able to get everything for free an expect for developers to make allowances for whatever their particular brand of cheating is and expect that if they actually end up having to pay for something that the seller will provide a standard of personal customer service that pretty much no other industry would support.
also, you know, being nerds, they don't really have a decent perspective on their relative importance and, finally, having been largely socialized in an environment dominated by anonymous, hypercompetitive teenage boys, they're just dicks most of the time.

On the other hand, gamers also get treated like potential criminals by plenty of companies attempting to sell things to them.

It doesn't help that even if you have a subscription service, it's simply easier to pirate. I was watching a movie at my mom's the other day through her digital cable On Demand service, and you can't fast forward. This is a paid service, and you can't fast forward, presumably because they want to subject you to the commercials.

It's 2011, people!
That must not be comcast, because you can fastforward on comcast, or I'd have killed Julie Ann Hough by now.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
Yeah gamer entitlement is fucking annoying. Especially for consumers who frequently flaunt breaking the law when they don't get their way.
I'd steal apples if every time I walked into Wal-mart some old guy followed me around and watched and inspected everything I put into my basket, then when I checked out kicked me in the nuts and told me I should stop being a dirty thief and pay for my food and stop being a youngin' because we're all up to no good what with our fancy music and clothes.
Then he stole my wallet and kicked me in the nuts again for good measure, and installed a spycam in my bedroom to make sure I didn't steal anything from the store at a later point in time. Then called me up occasionally and screamed at me for being a dirty little thief.
You're right, that's a good thing to do to your customers.

hopefully that will give that godawful joke some fucking context
have you not played the original?
I don't play PC games. I lack the hardware.
it's on the 360 too
anyway, "the cake is a lie" is actually part of this really creepy and neat reveal about the true nature of things in the game, it's not as asinine as the joke

play Borderlands
play Jade Empire

a pervasive problem today
see: 8 inch expectations
not even obama can deliver on that promise
and the gengars who are guiding me" -- W.S. Merwin
You know what's really shocking about that
I'm pretty sure that number was an average.
So for every person who put "six inches is ideal," either two people put nine inches as ideal or one person put ten inches as ideal.
Well at least everyone knows what they finally mean when women complain about there being "no nice guys" when they are surrounded by them.
"Nice" = very large penis.

The context was GLaDOS said there would be cake, and you didn't get any. Therefore, her promises of cake was a lie.

and you came as fast as you could?:winky:
i would approach them with a bulletproof vest, bunny suit and cattle prod
in IRC, maybe two in a four-hour night. In RL it tends to be about double that in the same space of time.
I enjoyed the movie in all but name.
ok I enjoyed the name too but I never tell anyone I watched it.
Great just what nerd needs more time away from learning.
