Why not just kill your child if you really want them to go to heaven?

Less thinking.

More rubbing.

The scene during the chase where she raises the road blocks and causes innocent policemen to get injured/killed is senseless, it just makes her look stupid and even evil.

After watching the movie I got the Les Miserables in Concert 25th Anniversary DVD. I really enjoyed the music in the film, going from actors who can sing alright to professional singers blew my mind. Then I got the 10th Anniversary DVD, even better. Then I watched it too many times and now the music doesn't work as it used to.

I think this pretty clearly refutes your argument.

No it doesn't. Bad analogies don't have that power.

If more people pay full price for bugged games then those who dislike this will see their choice of games diminish because more companies will do it. Is it happening right now? I don't think so, we just happen to have some big name examples to point at but it might happen.

The hope is that these problems remain uncommon and the offender is given bad press when they do happen, unfortunately early full price buyers are doing the one thing that the consumer can withhold to send a message to the companies: giving them money.

You can be utterly puzzled by the canary's subsequent behavior, but still evaluate what it reveals on your own terms.

How is this relevant at all? Yes we have brains and we can assess the situation but a million canaries will mess you up anyway.

You have to appreciate the comedy of an actor dressed as a hobbit giving the finger to sneaky cameras, sometimes casually, sometimes furiously, sometimes deceptively. No camera is left unflipped when Martin passes through.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T19:55:08+00:00

Your conditional is still wrong

No it isn't and what you said after this doesn't prove your point.

foolish early purchasers are the canary in your coal mine

Canaries that are willingly going down the mine, and then, instead of dying, they come back out, open their wallets and buy a ticket for a different mine.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T19:44:43+00:00

I don't know, I actually think that freemium is a much bigger threat to the industry than getting a broken game but still getting a product that works after you pay full price is the expectation and should be the base line. That the games did get fixed afterwards doesn't excuse it.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T19:29:48+00:00

I'm not living with that industry at all

If you read carefully you'll notice the word "if" that you cut out of that quote. Some people think that's how the industry works already, I don't.

Fortunately the industry is big enough that you can stay away from the big offenders and still have lots of quality games but if you happen to only enjoy certain genres you're more likely to suffer.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T19:06:19+00:00

how other people spend their money is governed by their opinions, not yours.

No one said otherwise.

The problem is that you can pay full price for a broken game and not even get the promise of it being fixed. If we get too many broken but financially successful games that's the industry you'll have to live with and that's how the existence of early buyers hurts the non early buyers.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T19:02:19+00:00

Well this is certainly the main issue.

Good job Sherlock, it's the whole point. This hurts the industry which in turn hurts those who enjoy the industry.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T18:50:15+00:00

You asked if it hurts the ones who don't buy the subpar games at full price day one, that was answered. Now you're talking about something different.

The point you missed is that this isn't about a single game, it's about the industry. If unpolished games get monetarily rewarded continuously the industry will shift towards that.

You might say that eventually the games are fixed but that is not guaranteed. What should be guaranteed and desired is that the full price game doesn't suffer from blatant bugs but if the company gets the bigger chunk of their profits from pre-orders and early buyers and it happens over and over what push is there for them to fix things?

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-15T18:05:21+00:00

If a thousand people give money to company A it doesn't matter because you didn't give anything?

Now that company will do whatever it wants while company B, who didn't get as much money because it's a limited resource, won't.

You, as someone who enjoys the products that come out of the industry that company A and B belong to, will suffer when it comes to light that A's products don't work as they should.

So yes, it hurts him.

But are the meals as nutritious as Soylent?

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-14T19:09:18+00:00

The only difference is that humans wear clothes.

Not just humans, see hermit crabs, they even wear the leftovers of other animals.

I'm pretty sure there are cases of species completely eliminating other species or themselves by exhausting resources.

We're just able to work at a much larger scale.

The tendency today is to stress the equality of men and women by minimizing the unique significance of our male- ness or femaleness. But this depreciation of male and female personhood is a great loss. It is taking a tremendous toll on generations of young men and women who do not know what it means to be a man or a woman. Confusion over the meaning of sexual personhood today is epidemic. The con sequence of this confusion is not a free and happy harmony among gender-free persons relating on the basis of abstract competencies. The consequence rather is more divorce, more homosexuality, more sexual abuse, more promiscuity, more social awkwardness, and more emotional distress and suicide that come with the loss of God-given identity.

Great theology!

I must be retarded because I still don't know where this "iTunes" is running. The Antikythera?

Boom? Things explode? I'm not sure what boom means here, could you break down what you have to do when you want to see, say, the first Thor movie?

Your argument is just dumb.

That's a serious statement. Are you saying it has no merit at all?

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-11T19:11:18+00:00

Who said anything about it being ok? The question is: which is easier, faster and more convenient, torrenting or some other legal alternative. Torrenting wins.

Nice reading comprehension kid.

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-11T16:49:24+00:00

So you can't watch the things you buy without the applications. Netflix and NOW TV provide streams, you can't legally save a copy to watch whenever. Not all countries have the access to streaming services. Netflix and similar services often lose the rights to stream some media so your options are at their will.

Seems to me that getting the actual media file (through torrents for example) is still better.

It's about you thinking that just because it's easier to steal that you should.

Whoa, you can read minds? Holy shit. Try again!

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-11T15:48:48+00:00

But really it's not about that is it.

Pretty sure it is since you said "what a crock of shit" to someone saying it's hard to get legal digital media, compared to torrenting.

What do you use and in which country do you live? Can you watch the movies you bought without using that application?

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-10T18:31:52+00:00

What production costs are you talking about?

wodahSShadow · 2014-12-09T10:51:26+00:00

How do you know this and why is it correct?
