Ha! Wow... yeah, sorry Razorfist, but you and your "church" could really use a healthy dose of the Alex Jones brand kool-aid... You think the world is just peachy? You must not be paying attention. You think the government doesn't have enough printed money to ruin the internet, just because they haven't secured the borders, which they opened in the first place? Flawless logic. I know video games are WAY more important... but here's a good video to get started with:

Alex Jones is an alarmist. He believes 9/11 was an inside job. What in FUCK does that have to do with me simply making the perfectly valid observation that the government can't even afford to keep its parks open, so it's unlikely they possess the fiduciary resources to fund a new, far-reaching regulatory bill?

Hell, Obama crammed his healthcare bill through congress, and they've already given up on it due to lack of cash.

@xRazorFistx If you could hear yourself talking, you wouldn't stop throwing up, do the world a solid and drink bleach.

[xRazorFistx]

@Angryblacksign Do me a 'solid'. Don't use the word 'solid' as a noun.

[Angryblacksign]

Jeeze, I can't even tell of the right person, Sorry xRazorFistx, I just stop talking.

[xRazorFistx]

@Angryblacksign

No biggie, brother.

For the fifth time.

I already changed the licenses. It was the FIRST THING the gibbering idiot providing 'tech support' had me do. It did not solve the problem because, in his own words, 'Sega's licenses operate independently of Microsoft's'.

The worst offender for this DLC bullshit is Capcom they locked 12 characters in Street Fighter X Tekken that's already on the disc and expect the people who buy the game to pay for content that's already on the game.

To be honest though you are placing a over sweeping fallacy on direct to download services, due to the terrible design of the XBLA, though if you do have your account registered to a xbox that is connected to live you can re-download said titles. Now as for the "cloud", and your campaign against business in general, you can't have a working system based on good faith and ideas either. Also this "Charlie" is a complete idiot.

[FolstrimHori]

Steam support is way better than xbox live though

I could list all of the times they saved my butt but it wouldn't fit

[DJSessum]

XBLA games are ONLY playable on the same account you download it to now? OH MY GOD... I hate the new dashboard update but WHAT THE FUCK. i hate my life.

[UncleJer410]

Nice commentary on DLC Razorfist. I agree with you 100%. While I do own a few downloaded titles, typically if the game is available on a disc and for d/l, I will always buy the disc, even if it'll cost me more. I prefer something tangible.

Not that this helps the situation at all, of course.

The corporations KNOW what they're doing is illegal and total bullshit. They know. Their lawyers know. They know they're standing on a legal house of cards. They absolutely know they can't legally make anyone give up a right as any more than they can own literal slaves. They also know that no one will stand up to them, or anyone that knows all this is able to stand up to them. Worse yet, each incident has to be dragged to court.
