Game Forum / Action Games / Half Life / September 2005the proper pc game model example
the proper pc game model example publishers are trying to impose new models for pc games, models that damage pc gamers and favour publishers so we have to start and separate pc gamer friendly publishers and non-friendly ones and deal with them in a different way cause its the only way we can defend the proper model for pc games a example of a pc game coming from a pc gamer friendly publisher which i think its the perfect example of a proper title is doom3 doom 3 is for me that example (please i don't want to discuss the merits or not in regard to type, gameplay, story in the game itself but rather the way it is being sold played and patched) this post is not about action games, shooters or doom3 the game but only about the way pc games overall are being sold and no this is not a post promoting doom3 but only stating facts about two completely different approaches when it come to how pc games are being sold currently doom 3 is a 2004/2005 title sold all over the world in retail stores and etailers with a liberalized price so you can find the best low price possible and it features: . liberalized pricing and sold in a variety of places . a protective box for the game with a appealing cover . a reliable that will last a life time manufactured cd-rom . a very useful quick reference card . a informative and well conceived manual now that the expansion resurrection of evil has been released two other very important and pc gamer friendly features have been added making doom 3 the definite example of a proper pc game titles resurrection of evil added to doom3 becoming copy protection free and cd inserted required to play free yes you read it correctly doom3 now is not copy protected and does not require you to insert the cd to play it now lets go back and list again all the great features in doom3 . liberalized pricing . sold in a variety of places . a protective box to store the cd . a reliable manufactured cd-rom . a useful quick reference card . a informative printed manual . no copy protection . no cd inserted required to play game . patches available in individual files . total freedom in the way you can run the game . extremely stable software almost not needing patches what else could we ask more in a pc game? nothing! its just perfect id software once again proved they are very pc gamer friendly and even in a time dominated by copy protection and with the menace of things like steam conquering pc games and turning us into submissive slaved controlled consumers they manage to still be true to pc games and be our friends and care for us try to compare this with valve's greedy monopolistic attitude with valve you have steam making pc games feature . high fixed pricing . only can you buy pc games from one place . no competition and the creation of monopoly . no protective box . no reliable manufactured cd-rom to backup your game . no useful quick reference card . no informative printed manual . abusive activation and ask for permission to use . no patches available in individual files . completely restrictive with no freedom at all . on purpose unstable software to impose a weekly patch system . first step into making pc games a service based entertainment so should we deal with id software like we deal with valve? don't we need to start now and treat them in a completely different ways? yes we need! with valve the only answer is TOTAL BOYCOTT to their products! TOTAL BOYCOTT! with id software we need not only buy their pc games but not copy them to give to others, not lend our own units to our friends and actively fight anyone who is trying to pirate id software's games id software trusted us, they took off the game's copy protection and they took off the cd required to play so we need to show we are worthy of their trust by not pirating the games for all of those who can't stop wining about copy protection now its the time to act! now its the time to show what you are made off! doom 3 has no copy protection so now protect it from all those disgusting vultures pirates that want to steal it from id software! we all should be the guardians of proper pc games like doom 3! i talk about doom 3 specifically cause its the one i know but any pc game with the same system deserves the exact same care and protection from us all and if you know other titles like this please warn us all! proper pc games like that should be protected by every single pc gamer in the world to show the industry we can be trusted we are not savage criminals and pc games can be a enjoyable to us and profitable to developers and publishers actively fight against piracy! protect proper pc games! defend well deserved developers and publishers profits! long live pc games piracy and steam free! -- post made in a steam-free computer i said "NO" to valve and steam Go screw yourself with a black and decker, please. The day we can get rid of the dinosauric distributors in the value chain is a day I've been longing for for a very long time. I don't give a hot sh.t about who has the right to public a game in a certain geographic zone. I want to be able to buy AND recieve a product the DAY it has been released, not wait for four months while different publishers fight over who gets to publish the product in my particular area. Take your medication and stfu. n Wed, 07 Sep 2005 10:36:05 +0200, steamKILLER <sayNO2steam@yahoo.com> wrote: > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 102 lines] > post made in a steam-free computer > i said "NO" to valve and steam  SignatureUsing Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/mail/ > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > and deal with them in a different way cause its the only way we > can defend the proper model for pc games Steamkiller, you really ought to get a blog.

He can't do that anonymously, so he won't do it. Best to killfile him. M. Michael Vondung <mvondung@gmail.com> once tried to test me with: >> Steamkiller, you really ought to get a blog.

LJ would still know his IP address. He seems to go to great lengths to hide his identity (and even then he worries about his messages getting archived by Google). Why? I have no idea. :) M. >> Actually the only thing you need to get a LJ account is an email >> account, which you should be able to get annonymously. > >LJ would still know his IP address.

Why? I have no idea. :) The reasoning in obvious. Of course, the reasons are moot when you know what is not honoured. Anyway, last legitimate post in thread. > As does Google Groups. 213.13.41.17 is some dial-up address on Telepac.pt. I believe this to be a proxy. Looked at it before, and decided that I don't believe that he is in Portugal. This is purely speculative, though, since I never experimented with GG to see if it will work with web proxies and other such toys.

Livejournal lets you set > them up for free. that is a great idea! i really think i should do it it really falls very short of my ambitious website but it is a way at least to archive my articles properly but i will not forget the usenet cause i feel its still the privileged mean to communicate in the internet so basically what i will do is post here and archive there in that thing, what you call the blog but don't fear this group will always have the stuff first hand and is livejournal the best? any alternatives that i might check to choose from? i want not only the best but also one related to games and if also related to anti-steam that would be perfect i want to the among "friends" thank you very much Brian for this suggestion -- post made in a steam-free computer i said "NO" to valve and steam > but i will not forget the usenet cause i feel its still the > privileged mean to communicate in the internet > so basically what i will do is post here and archive there > in that thing, what you call the blog > but don't fear this group will always have the stuff first > hand But if you post to the blog, then the blog will be where people will go to learn about Steam. It will turn up on Google searches, and then people will go there. You wouldn't have to worry about the newsgroups at all.

SK's dream of living among "friends" by starting a blog, or the kid gloves Brian is using. > > Steamkiller, you really ought to get a blog. Livejournal > > lets you set them up for free. > > that is a great idea! > i really think i should do it Yes! Yes! Yes! It would indeed be great! That way everyone can read your lucid thoughts, insights, and opinions on the PC gaming industry and you can even comment on *all types* of games without needing to cross-post into irrelevant groups. > it is a way at least to archive my articles properly This alone would be providing a great service to society and to the fragile future of PC gaming. > but i will not forget the usenet No no no ... I recommend you focus on your blog so you don't distract yourself from your core purpose and intent. Don't do it next week. Do it now! The fate of the free world of PC gamers is counting on you! - Sheldon > x-no-archive: yes > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > post made in a steam-free computer > i said "NO" to valve and steam hahahah, ARCHIVE MY ARTICLES properly, from someone who has turned off archiving in this posts. Man, you ought to charge people admission for the stupid funny things you type. |
