I dont get it. What happened?
It is, I thought that was fairly obvious. Not on par with a zynga ripoff, but its still fairly obvious where it draws inspiration from.
Do I want to dig out mgs4 and replay for trophies?Crap, I think I deleted the install data which means I need to sit through smoking snakes!
Only once though. New patch means you only install it once rather than each act.

Should move over! Fun times in Victoria. Also IMAX at Museum is so damn awesome, want to watch all the big releases there.
Yeah Butcher has come along well, really don't want to lose Chaplin though
WiiU threads are usually the ones that get me laughing the most. Lots of butthurt Sony/Nintendo fanboys in that Kamiya thread, along with a few Xbox fanboy trolls stirring the shit

Nah that is why everyone is riled up, it isn't a rip off really. None of the gameplay is lifted, just looks similar in screenshots. Just seems to be one of those threads with everyone posting at 100% rage rather than thinking about what they are writing before attacking each other.
Old data won't work with new trophies. Patch is 900MB and install is only 9GB so get on it!Do I want to dig out mgs4 and replay for trophies?
But that's exactly what's happening.
No its not. If you want a different colour wii, you send it in and get it transferred to the new one. In the case of the bad examples of steam/origin etc, you lose access to those games entirely. With Wii transfers, you pay to have it done, but you are never prevented from playing them.

Oh shit, from the kamiya thread:
The person who posted that needs to use his brain.
Turns out it was a Poe. Still, sure to be more real ones in there.
You're forced to pay if you want to play them. Say if you used to share your Wii with a family member, but now you're moving out, which is a common enough scenario. Not having an account based system means its not possible to separate your purchases. In that case your pretty much forced to buy them all again.
You get this problem with real disc based games too though. I accept this is a realistic scenario with no real solution, but no-one is losing their games - they are still there.
Just get the person who keeps the console to pay the other person out on the VC games they bought. It's not like they wouldnt already be splitting discs and controllers.
Once again, this is not the same as the download service banning your account and access to paid content where no-one can play them.
edit: to be clear, I'm not disputing its a potential problem, I just think the two examples are not analagous due to the nature of the services.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
You know, I think my leniency with something like Valve on PC is entirely due to the convenience of knowing that, with the exception of multiplayer games, there will always be a way for me to comfortably acquire the products I've put a payment down for. The fear with consoles is that once you're locked out, that's it forever.
No you don't, those disk based games aren't tied to hardware. He can take them with him and play them on another device.
Amounts to reselling the content, which is 100% against the ToS. If you're ok with that, you're ok with someone pirating the games they were locked out of on Origin, as it's the same solution.
It's not reselling the VC content as its always been tied to the same shop account. It's a transaction entirely separate to the location or license of the games on the console.
If someone moves out and takes the console, there are no games lost. Thats the key difference. If someone gets banned from steam/origin, all their games are lost. The console scenario is down to two people coming to a solution. The PC solution is banging your head against the wall by dealing with a company that has already decided you dont have the games anymore.
As for pirating games on origin/steam if they were banned from it - I wouldn't call anyone who did that as being morally or ethically wrong. Legally/technically, yes, but then I dont believe any company has the right to take your games from you.

That's not accurate. They can no longer use those services to launch and update their games, but they can easily crack them and continue to play, in a lot of cases by using the files they had already downloaded. You can't take a hardline on the one hand, but allow for technically illegal workarounds on the other.
There were people posting in the steam thread on gaming side that they did lose all their games and had to get their money back from visa chargeback.

Why did they lose their games? Haven't heard of anyone losing them for a reason other than doing something illegal or really really stupid.
Any Father worth anything already has them all downloaded! Bit rough trying to get your kids to use archaic DVD's! Run everything through Plex on tablets or a HTPC for the big TV.

I don't think you interpreted it correctly then. Getting your Steam account banned isn't going to delete your Steam folder. As you've said, paying for a game and then downloading a pirated copy isn't morally wrong. So they didn't "lose all their games", they lost the ability to download and update them via the Steam service.
And is that going to be transferrable to another PC in future when they upgrade?
They declined the new ToS.
A crack? Of course it will be.
I know.
Because TOS.

And they got no warning their account would be banned? I thought people were getting a message saying if they don't accept the terms it will be banned (or if they just don't update Steam and use Offline Mode (which does work for some people (but would mean that you needed to have it up and running before the new ToS came out) but not for others which is annoying) to run their games without getting any new patches or the Steam-related services).

My daughter still uses VHS at nana and pa's. She's retro
Tom Liberatore from the Bulldogs found unconscious with drugs on him by police
This isn't going to end well for him.
I know. Poor bloke will end up at richmond or west coast.
He'll fit in well there.
Dont be silly, thats where he got them from.
Hmm, maybe not now they lost three of their biggest offenders.
Don't do it in the NRL or the related comps or you're named, shamed and banned. Demonstrated here in the most recent event:
NRL.com said:
Yes, to some it may be "only weed", but the no tolerance attitude should be adopted in other codes. They don't fuck around, and I like that.

When do we put a MTV flag on Mars? Was hoping to be home from work by then.
Shockingly enough St Kilda have cut down a bit apparently! Heard some great stories from friends who would go out clubbing at the player hotspots.

NRL doesn't test outside of competition for illicit drugs iirc.....
so that doesn't mean NRL players aren't drugged up either.
NASA's Curiosity rover will be landing on Mars soon, you can watch it live below

Here's a fact sheet about the mission as well

Read my above post.
I meant during the off season.
AFL does it all year so there are more chances to get caught.
Actually, the NRL does. Players can have their doors knocked on for a blood test at any time.
