Pirates Destroying My Game!2nd May 2013 "I find the idea of having the game work differently when it's pirated, rather than just shutting down, really interesting." I do, too. And if they had done that, rather than making a separate version that always fails from piracy which they then freely d*snip* |

Pirates Destroying My Game!1st May 2013 Again, I don't think anyone said to themselves "I want a pay-for game for free" - they just see torrenting as a convenient way to get free games. If it's a title of a pay-for game you recognize, then you probably assume you're doing wrong. If it's a title *snip* |

Pirates Destroying My Game!1st May 2013 Well, since they put out a free broken version to generate fake piracy numbers to write their attention-whoring blogpost, their little otherwise-unknown game has drawn the attention of actual pirates who are now copying and distributing it full force. Now*snip* |

Pirates Destroying My Game!1st May 2013 Do you honestly believe people think like that? They don their black hat, twiddle their waxed moustache and go "Mwah-hah-hah, I'm going to pirate something!" I would tend to think they're just out to get a new free game and really don't give half a damn i*snip* |

Pirates Destroying My Game!30th April 2013 Um, it's entirely possible to torrent legal free games. I've done it a bunch*. There is no way you or the devs can rightfully assume the intention of any of the downloaders was piracy. Nothing on the torrent said it was a crack or pirate copy. (and rightly*snip* |

Pirates Destroying My Game!30th April 2013 They did not design the game so if you pirated it you can't win due to piracy. The actual game, were it pirated, would have no piracy references at all. They added piracy making it unwinnable into their game, then seeded a torrent of that version. Nobody *snip* |

Pirates Destroying My Game!30th April 2013 In fact, the whole thing has to be a marketing ploy. What happens when a developer tries to generate buzz for his game by labeling his potential audience foolish thieves? I call him an arsehole. |

Pirates Destroying My Game!30th April 2013 What happens when a completely unknown game appears for free on an aggressively seeded torrent with a built in glitch?

New Telly!!25th April 2013 You've moved from SD to HD precisely as the first "UltraHD" 4K sets hit the market. Congratulations, you're old! ;) Oh, BTW, the X360 will look 150% better on the HD telly. I don't even care about HD and I couldn't deal with it on the SD because of all t*snip* |

Melman vs Android21st April 2013 Well, that's good to know. It's been ages since I last compiled anything for my phone...must have been before Java 1.7 arrived since I updated without thinking about it. |

Critics trying to kill Ouya before it even comes out properly.13th April 2013 As to price, I've already mentioned that you can pay from $99 to $299 for TV add-on boxes that don't do half as much. In addition, every other planned Android box for TV I've seen announced weighs in far higher. I can see not having any use for a OUYA at*snip* |

Critics trying to kill Ouya before it even comes out properly.13th April 2013 I'm sure there will be new games, but given that it's an Android box who wouldn't cross market them? If you're perfectly happy tapping and smudging your sprites across a wee screen, the OUYA probably won't make any major difference to you. If that doesn't*snip* |

Critics trying to kill Ouya before it even comes out properly.13th April 2013 lol@Dabz because a MAJOR draw to the OUYA for me is the likelihood of an abundance of short-session gameplay-driven arcade-style titles rather than the mire of drek takes-forever-to-do-anything story-driven "proper console titles" the world is currently su*snip* |

Critics trying to kill Ouya before it even comes out properly.13th April 2013 That Techtandoori article was horrible. FFS, they blamed OUYA for the software issues - as though OUYA has anything to do with it. Biggest OUYA problems I've gleaned so far: By Far BIGGEST #1 Problem) The software isn't programmed for the hardware, just *snip* |

Ouya Cost7th April 2013 Well, I dunno the prices on other doodads over there, but here you can spend $99-$299 on a little box to let you watch Netflix on your telly sans PC. So, at $99, a box that runs XBMC and can sideload emus for VCS, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, NES, SNES, MS, MD, PCE *snip* |
