My first real MMORPG was Dark Age of Camelot, and it was fantastic until they decided to protect cheaters who paid. After that was Guild Wars, which was almost as great. I bounced around between a handful of smaller ones until I came across RIFT, and instantly loved it. So much borrowed from the previous games, but the idea of rifts was really damned cool.
About once a year I log in, and realize that it’s turned into an unplayable disaster. Then I log out, feeling sad.

Really? They generated more content than the entire Harry Potter series to say “He can’t get the money.”
Sounds like they’re trying to get their own $464M out of the deal.
The moral outrage needs to twist from what she does to what employers pay.
Seriously, this needs to be screamed from the rooftops. We need to stop kink shaming and slut shaming, and start shaming corporations and billionaires.
The first thing I install on a mobile device is “Hacker’s Keyboard” which adds cursor keys.
We need to stop promoting this bullshit.
This is fucking garbage.
When a company gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar, it’s not a punishment to put one of the cookies back.
Fines should be ten TIMES what the company made from their misbehaviour, not ten percent.
This isn’t a ‘painful day for tech titans.’
Corporations don’t feel pain. C*Os insulate themselves from it. They’re getting steadily richer, probably making more money than you’ll ever see in your life.
This is a good day for tech consumers. That should have been the headline.
Fuck Oprah.
Her sanctimonious bullshit brought us Dr. Oz, Dr. Phil, and Jenny McCarthy.
Her ‘listening platform’ has probably lead directly to the deaths of tens of thousands of people.
Myst was the most beautiful shitty adventure game ever. Riven was more Myst.
Imma give this one a pass.
