D--N microsoft!

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

D--N microsoft!

WHY! Why does MS have to stab us PC gamers in the back all the time. I am hearing of more and more cases of good PC games ruined in development by the Xbox, watered down for the sake of the low intelligence of the console gamers, and for the inferior capabilities of there beloved los-res lo-polygon platforms. Whats worse, there are arcticles saying that Digital Anvils next project may well be an Xbox title. Who made Microsoft great and wealthy as they are today. US! PC owners, Windows owners! NOT those ignorant console brats. I am sick and tired of witnessing the decay of my favorite hobby.

Sorry for the rant...

That's okay ......

The thing is, game developers should focus on one thing at a time, and then move onto the other. The computer is indefinatly better than the X-Box, but for some reason we get all the leftovers from the X-box ........

Oh, yeah, Microsoft rose through the ranks by :

Extortion
Bribary
Mob Connections

And several companies have to pay "protection" money to microsoft for their continued wellbeing. And don't forget their shark-like lawyers !

That's my rant over with, Next !

Fear Factor

Post Fri Mar 05, 2004 12:21 am

Time to reassert some fear factor into the forum! Let me just say that Microsoft and Digital Anvil is an economic beast. That means they will do whatever they want to make profit. As long as it is legal, I have no problem with it whatsoever. You can always buy games from other companies! MS does not owe us anything - they publish a product, and if you like it you can buy it. If not, you don't buy it. Simple, isn't it? There are absolutely no social contract between MS and its customers. I think you have been living too long in the new corporate age, where corporations indoctrinate you to make you think that they "care". Wrong. They don't care. No one does. It's just a marketing ploy. Everybody does it, not only MS, so get used to it.

Kuja has once again jumped at the chance to bash MS... I see some things don't change after all This thread goes click.
