There's a difference between the same game being 60$ on Xbox and 5$ on Steam.
They do drop prices, and they also dictate when they release your game, not you, and a lot of devs never have time to build hype for their game, or wait until a big release is over with before releasing their, which hurts the sales. Anyhooooo... I've moved away from GM and onto Java! I'm happy here  And if YoYo want to start selling anything of mine... well, they'll have to get the hands on the source first  A quick lawsuit will fix that, and if you delete it, you'll be charged with destruction of private property and have to pay millions in fines D; |

Why is it people who hated the Xbox One and it's DRM, but love steam and it's DRM. It's the same thing with a different name. :x
This is bad logic and you should feel bad. |

There's no comparing it to Xbone though. |

A lawsuit is anything but quick (nor cheap). I'd keep that thing rolling for as long as I could to draw out their costs. Anyway I just went through their ToC and all they've mentioned is that they have the right to reuse your game but they can't sell it. Nothing like giving away a commercial game you made, eh? :p In either case, they'll still need to get hold of the files. |

It's not like they could just email you and say "Your game is selling pretty well, we'll be needing all assets and scripts from it now, and you can't keep them". I guess if they want to use it to promote their software you have to let them, but that's about it. |

I know. It would probably promote self-publicity anyway.  If they did to anything too over the top then they'd receive a backlash from the community. |

To a big corporation like them, lawsuits are cheap, cuz you can just pay to win. : D |

I wouldn't say they're quite in Apple's league yet. |

Anyone here has a PlayStation 3D Display? http://us.playstation.com/ps3/accessories/sony-playstation-3d-display-ps3/index.htmlMine is failing on the sound. After a while the sound starts to glitch and lag and stutter. If I switch between entries, it gets back to normal. But it starts again later. If I plug earphones in it, it still does it. If I plug my earphones directly in the audio card of my PC, the sound is OK. This is weird because of the fact that the sound bugs from both the speakers and headphone jack. So I guess it's not a speaker problem. Any ideas? |

Always get the extended warranty on expensive items, always. |

I usually do. I think I did for the display but I didn't for the extra pair of glasses. That's what my memory tells me. |

Well you should have a copy of the paperwork you sent in for the warranty. You did send it in didn't you? |
