I'll make sure to snag it. Happy with my 3Ds since until recently I was the only person left that still hadn't played OOT past the Deku tree... Still an awesome game by today's standards.
Well, it does have to do with SOPA. Why not explain yourself how it doesn't?
Did one of us mention SOAPA? I think not.
By that logic people who undercut on eBay are pirates.
Wow. This is hypocrisy if I ever saw it. One of the biggest IP tyrants on the market claiming first amendment in place of licensing. Like, seriously? This is shoe meet other foot stuff. Don't get me wrong, I agree with EA's point. I just don't like how when someone does it to them it becomes "piracy" and when they do it to someone else it is first amendment rights.

It's like, make up your mind.

I can't believe people talk about the bad voice acting in HOTD2 and don't talk about Goldman. XD

I've been waiting for you. Friends.

Simply put when works do not enter the public domain which has been damaged for quite some time, it creates small monopolies on ideas, and this is damaging to a free market. Meanwhile we have piracy, the bogeyman that is supposedly ruining the industry when the entertainment industry is one of the few thriving markets in this crappy economy. It's all just greed on the side of the industry. Companies want to own as many ideas as they can and not let them go, and in the long run this will be most damaging to a creative climate, and has been already.
SOPA and ACTA hurt far more than just "pirates," like most copyright legislation.

And pirates aren't as much a problem as copyright hoarding currently.

Wait... am I reading this right?

SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...! I can't wait. =) Bad voice acting + zombie killin' good times come to me!!!!!! <3

There was no challenge to it and it traded the dark humor of Portal 1 in for slapstick humor. Honestly I don't know how this game even remotely stands up for GOTY. Also Wheatley was freaking annoying, and not in the least funny.
Seriously. Portal 2 was a serious disappointment after one. I don't get why Kotaku has had such a big boner over this game.
Ugh. They should just axe this and give the IP back to Remedy where it belongs. Seriously.
Wait, they are getting rid of the cash auction house for the South Korean release? Lucky bastards in South Korea...
Also on the subject of SOPA and copyright legislation, what is with the entitlement of companies? They think because a product was profitable before the Internet that with the Internet it should be just as profitable? Sorry that the copying of materials became so easy. Instead of adapting companies would rather bitch and moan about it and pervert laws invented for printing presses, meanwhile destroying the public's RIGHT to public domain. Really I'm sick of this crap. I'm tired of people calling copyright infringement theft (which it is not, in act or legally). I'm tired of the entertainment industry crying about the spectre of copyright infringement when it is one of the few industries thriving in this crappy economy. And I'm just all around tired of the greed surrounding intellectual property in all of it's forms. Here is an idea: When you start acting in fairness in relation to releasing ideas into the public domain after a certain time frame instead of trying to capitalize off of crappy re releases, I will hate copyright infringement just as much as all the corporate bigwigs.
So the way I read this was fans brought subs to America, companies tried to make a buck off of this, the internet came along and the very thing that brought the market over here was easier to distribute and continued to thrive and there was no need for the companies trying to make a buck, and all was right in the world. The end.
Since some people seem to have trouble seeing why I find this article wrong, let me break this down:
Valve decides to run promotion which is a contest encouraging people to buy their games.
People who want to win the contest buy a lot of the cheapest games they can find.
Valve forgot that HIB was the cheapest games they could find, in which case the deal goes against them.
Somehow this makes the people doing what the contest was intended for assholes?

Also re stating, I fully support the bundle and refuse to pay so cheap for it. It is a great cause that deserves the money out of your pockets. My problem is this article is shifting blame onto the consumer, when the oversight is entirely Valve's fault.
