yeap. was pretty weird and cool... it was like they discovered we were mutants in x-men. in 2nd grade was taken out of class from the regs and brought to a way more fun class with one other student to do cool iq tests and games.

i'm really smart... in a way.

No.

I was the kid that never stood out. The kid that had a handfull of friends that he made in his first year and stuck with throughout his schoollife. The kid that always managed to get decent grades, but not that high to be considered one of the smart kids. The kid that was ok in sports and could hit a softball decently, but never the fastest, strongest or best in any other way. The kid that was good to work with in groups, the one that finished his part on time and helped the rest, but that did not had any great idea's. The kid that was never bullied, but also never stood up for others who were getting bullied.
The kid that always got an invite to a party, but never became the centre of attention.

Get the point?

>Starting today, in order to add to your Battle.net Balance, players will be required to have a Battle.net Authenticator or Battle.net Mobile Authenticator attached to their Battle.net account. For clarity, this means you’ll need to have an Authenticator to add to your balance via Battle.net Account Management or to send the proceeds of your real-money auction house sales to your Battle.net Balance.

Because they can't even enforce case-sensitive passwords and overall general incompetence, Blizzard is expecting you, the consumer, to either shell out additional money for an authenticator or download their app for your smartphone to use services you've already bought and agreed to.

ONE feature of the game they marketed is now unavailable without a piece of equipment that didn't ship with the game that anyone who can afford an internet connection, a PC, and the game itself can easilly afford.

You're really reaching bro. Like, really really reaching. You claim I'm baiting you, but you act like this is the first time a company has marketed something, released it, and then required addition equipment purchased separately for it to be used.

You've still not addressed the fact that they're making it a requirement because it's in the best interest of their customers, but I guess that truth is a little inconvenient to your very selective arguments.

They do not get them for 6 per unit from vasco. You can buy them yourself, as a regular consumer, in bulk, for 5 per unit. Mass produced it's likely dollars per unit. Unless that $6 shipping is international, they're full of shit.

Fuck Blizzard. Their customers accounts get hacked and what do they do? Charge money so they won't get hacked anymore. Fucking brilliant, A+ Blizzard.
That's what happens when companies forget about their customers and care only about their stocks/turnover.

What game has ever released a game, advertised a feature, and required you to buy or own additional hardware that was never stipulated?

go ahead, I'll wait. it's funny because you just continue to bait with no argument left.

Maybe a NES game or some other old console. Side scrolling, the dude in it was propably spy or some agent. I remember only that it had a section where you go through X-ray section and all people inside it were shown as skeletons.

Alright guys, I'm here with a perfect plan to stop a vast majority of piracy and gamestop. I know, it's too good to be true.

Anyways, how it works is just that the company gives you extra stuff/content FOR FREE. But there's a catch obviously. The catch is that you only get this free content/stuff if you pre-order/buy the game new.

Pre-ordering should be a guaranteed all free dlc, because as the customer you believed in and gave the developer/publisher money before having a chance to see ratings/borrow from friend or whatever. That deserves all free dlc, and would give people more of an incentive to pre-order rather than gay ass posters. Doing this would allow companies to generally see how their game might do and would allow them to plan out future dlc appropriately. Dlc is here to stay, so deal with it.

Next, if you buy the game new, you get maybe, let's say - 3 dlc codes for addons $10 or more, and 2 separate codes for addons that are less. That's just some wild numbers, but you get the idea - reward for buying new instead of used. Doing this would completely take away the reason to buy a game used.

Then, the game must have guaranteed price drops based on a set amount of time. They wouldn't be massive, maybe a $10 drop after 2-3 months, then $10 more dollars the next 2-4 months. This would let other players who buy used for the sole purpose of it being cheaper, to do exactly that, buy the shit cheaper. Obviously the dlc rewards will lessen slightly as time goes on.

new clothes, new armor, new weapons! $10!
new area to explore! Roughly 20minutes or your time! $30!
New quests! Not much else maybe a few rewards! $10!
More new "fun" clothes, weapons, items (fun meaning they have no business being in the game and mess up the mechanics of the game world entirely) $10!
SECRET CHARACTER $5
SECRET CHARACTER PACK! $30

nickels and dimes add up, and in the end, its really just the principle of it all that matters, why pay $5+ when I could get it for free, why was this not originally avaliable to me when I paid "full price" for the game? Any DLC that downloads in seconds is simply a code to unlock something you already paid for. Tell me how that $$$ dick feels up your ass bro.

Basically the game is already paid for by gamestop etc,. But as soon as the guy gets tired of it he trades it in or sells it. that game is still floating around to who ever wants to buy it. that is why Steam did so good because people don't resell games and re circulate the games.

My worst moment in ME3 was when Cortez suddenly walked into my cabin and starting hitting on me (as a male Shepard). I had only talked to the guy twice and had never given him any signals (that I was aware of, certainly was wrong from the Hepler point of view). The game just THROWS gay sex IN YOUR FACE and at the very least it felt awkward to me.
