Oh, this is rich coming from someone who accused the entire board to be pirates.
edit: oh, He's banned now.
Wow.Up to 10,000 Likes on this one comment on the IGN article.
Nope, not a problem for Microsoft according to some of the apologists here...
IT'S A WINE COOLER
Yeah sorry but at some point common sense has to take over.
why is he banned?

Link?
Also, fucking LOL.
For accusing everyone of being pirates, I believe.
His posting privileges are currently up in smoke.
Don't know. Why don't you ask the mods if you're that curious?
I feel for the guy because of my experience. Six RROD, One E74 over 4 different consoles (2 of which I brought)
The biggest piss take was in 2007. The console was away for 3 months being fixed. When I got it back, I purchased Forza 2 and an MS steering wheel. After just 2 hours, the console died again and it was just short of 3 months before it was returned.
The final straw which made me become mostly a PS3 gamer, was when I logged on to xbox live to play Forza again, a message from MS was waiting for me. Turned out the power pack for my steering wheel was a potential fire hazard and had to be returned.
And they wonder why I cancelled my LIVE subscription
oh wow.
Well, specifically he called everyone who was against always-online a pirate.
Ah BaconSammy is banned. Poor Bacon hopefully not permanent.
I'm at a full dozen myself.
You just provided them 7 years of evidence that you're going to keep coming back to them even when they send you legitimately broken equipment on a monthly basis. Why would they do you a "solid" when you're obviously going to pay for it when they don't?
Yeah, hopefully he didn't get banned permanently or anything.
The Durango, if anything, has brought a lot of entertainment to me already.
Ryse.
I err, I'm not sure that this is how image macros are supposed to go lol.
Again? I feel like he just got back.
yeah. if this 'always online' thing's legit, & the 'spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down' approach was what they had in mind, this's kinda shot it full of holes
...but, unannounced product or not, i still don't understand why, if they're not doing this, they couldn't simply say 'we have no plans to be going this route at this time'. i just don't get it. are they really pretending that, until they officially announce it, they aren't releasing a new console?...
IIRC Black Tusk Studios is supposedly working on a horror/sci-fi shooter, and it looks like Rare is working on a racing game.
Why did BaconSammy get banned?
all of the above? I doubt piracy just because it doesn't seem like that big an issue on consoles (esp compared to PC), but certainly killing off used games in order to gain favor with third parties? I could see it.
I don't know for sure, but I like to pretend it was for being a fanboy yesterday.
oh god, for real? I'm clearly replying to some one before that post. Get off my dick.
Whats sad is he got banned before this shitstorm.
For the past 20 hours, so basically since I woke up, I had a blast with this thread. Thanks to everyone involved
When you finally find some time in your crappy busy life to play Diablo 3, Red Alert 3 (co-op), Assassin's Creed Brotherhood etc. but then find out that you actually can't, because their respective DRM servers were offline for some reason or other, it's freakin' frustrating.
If these rumours are true, then I'll be heading back to Sony provided that they're keen to put their customers first instead of kowtowing to the publishers.

Spying is kind of a strong word. 'Spying' in the same sense that facebook does, probably: data mining. Someone earlier mentioned a sort of nielson box plan - that sounds very believable to me. It's not necessarily malicious. Information privacy is kind of a gray area.
Bacon is definitely not a fanboy. I have seen that guy in every thread imaginable and he craps on everyone. He just has a panache for playing a great devils advocate at times. I like posters like that though, I mean come on Derrick why do you think I enjoy your posts so much
I'm really interested in seeing what Crytek can do on the next gen consoles plus the Roman era thing sounds interesting but dat Kinect only Bs is throwing me off.
Looking foreard to seeing these because Kameo was awesome,my son and I had a lot of fun playing that game.
Yeah strong word, but scary when you bring Kinect into this haha.
Look at how fucking powerful this comment is

It sucks because Bacon posting in this thread would have been hilarious.
NemesisPrime is banned as well (A dev).
At least we've got ari.
Man there are a lot of cunts on this board who will defend anything. Fuck you guys that even defend the IDEA of MS doing this.
I still think it's all about growing their ecosystem as much as possible.

If you can't see the obvious slant in his posts, then I don't know what to say.
I wish he was unbanned just to see his reaction. The damage control would have been delicious.
lol. You gotta be shitting me.
To be fair, that could be because the overall attitude right now is that Sony is doing great and fuck Microsoft. I'm not saying he's not biased, I'm not saying that the overall sentiment is wrong, I'm just saying that Bruce's point could still stand.
