Microsoft reps ambushing customers at Best Buys during Nintendo's E3 Experience. This just keeps getting more and more ridiculous.

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Wouldn't this be classified as harassing customers from a competitor? Shouldn't something like that be illegal?

I actually feel sorry for them... no system ever created has generated so much hate, just half a year before release.

The Polish developers of The Witcher 3 just learnt that they won't be able to play their own game at launch. Suffice to say, they're a bit confused and pissed off about it.

It's on the fence as harassment, and angry customers are bad for business, so Best Buy might not stand for it either.

Doritos.... you made a big mistake there. I have a feeling they may ALSO want to under-stock.

I don't think Doritos or Mt. Dew will suffer anything. People know those things are good, even if they went Iron Man.

I don't know, if it were on my favorite brand of soup, I'd probably wait until the stupid promotion was over and switch to another brand, lol.

MS Engineer claims on 4ch that DRM is to make consoles more like steam in the long run.

Full Pastebin is below if it gets taken down. It looks like they know they fucked up but they're going to stay strong for the strategy.

Had it been presented in this way I would have been a bit happier.

^ There's one particular part just made me laugh while reading that. I'll take my PC with Steam over XBox One's services though, although I will wait to see how the XBox One does when it does release (curiosity). That Doritos and Mt. Dew combination is too funny, however I wonder how many codes they'll possibly give for Halo 5 (iirc they've done so in the past for Halo).

I still don't get how THEIR DRM is similar to Steam; I can install Steam on any other computer and redownload all the software I've purchased, FOR FREE, and they'll still be available to me ten years later. Also, I'm given the ability to run these games outside of Steam's client, therefore not requiring an online connection to run them.

This guy's full of shit and he knows it, which is evident by how he's using "then" instead of "than".
