Now, I am no hardcore gamer but I do play computer games often and the recent one I have been playing recently is Shogun 2 total war. Now for those who don't know what this game is, it is a strategy game based on the military of feudal Japan. I recently bought an upgrade for the game the other day and guess what one of the strongest military units was? Nuns. I shit you not. The nuns had an attack 20% -40% higher than most units in the game. Somehow I doubt that in real life a nun would have swung a sword or used a spear faster and harder than a feudal warlord, and this game was based on history. I think I have the right to ask steam and other gaming companes: WTF with the subliminal brainwashing? What now when I buy or play a game women will be doing all the ass kicking? I seen some similiar patterns on the game advertisements on television and the internet recently and want to know if anyone else is seeing the pattern? I call bullshit on this subject. Video games are the last place for guys to hang out and now women are taking over. Why not just save us the trouble and instead of eliminating our fantasy world just throw us in work camp to provide for thier bastard children (literally speaking) while they shit all over us...wait they already do that. Fucking lolworthy stuff if ever I saw it.

BL;DR Posts: 3,493 Group: Elite Member #80 Joined: September 7, 2010	I find it seriously difficult to believe that anyone with a working computer and internet connection would ever have genuine problems saving up for Minecraft of all things - it costs around 20 US bucks, for fuck's sake. That said, it's also kinda difficult to compare it to other commercial games because besides the fact Mojang (and Notch, by proxy) is practically rolling in money from sales of that game alone, it's not like piracy hemorrhages a hell of a lot of money in potential sales considering the game is obviously developed on a hilariously small budget (whereas stuff like say, Crysis 2 or BF3 costed millions to make and expects to recoup in installments of the usual 60 bucks or so). Also, while I get that Notch doesn't mind it at all, I still feel it has to be said: who the fuck pirates an indie game, anyway? I honestly liked it better when a pirate's excuse essentially amounted to "we want to play this game, but we don't agree with some of the company's decisions so we're pirating it to prevent them from profiting from it" - at least there's some good principles behind that, even if it means the more stubborn companies focusing more on trying to curb piracy at any cost (including the enjoyment of paying customers!) and less on the obvious bullshit that people boycott them for in the first place. Speaking of Minecraft and pirates, though. The newest update just introduced multiple language selections... and one of them was, I shit you not, pirate speak. And goddamn it is hilarious.

Quartermaster and Field Commander of the Baneblade Chapter Posts: 600 Group: Elite Member #36 Joined: April 26, 2008	Yeah, sounds about right. Seriously, is it that hard to figure out? That shit is STUPID. See now, if it includes swag at no extra cost, there's no problem, but this shit? This is bullshit. It's not that hard to figure out that "Hey, they're not buying things at launch price because it's not a smart thing to do!"

Fabulous Homosexual Posts: 6,262 Group: Elite Member #59 Joined: November 9, 2009	The video is not loading for me for some odd reason, so I'm going to assume it's referring to the DLC content of a Collector's Edition or what-have-you. Now, if the extra swag was something like a physical copy of a soundtrack, a statue (a la Arkham City or Skyrim), or artbooks, then it should cost a bit more. The DLC content, yeah, that really should have been a part of the game, but we all know how the world works now. [rolls eyes.]
