That might be an issue for most other companies, but press events are not really Valves thing. Probably not much fear on his part there.

I think Valve banning him in this case is reasonable. It's an invite only free to play game. That said, clicking ok on some random text box is not a binding contract. Companies like to frame it like it is, but it's not.

I really really like this game, but is it ready for 1.0? Last I played a few months ago the simulation felt...lacking. The structure seems there, but things like NPCs walking around their apartments at all hours of the night make things difficult, as an example.

It does still work, and my gut says it's going to work for a long time. Unless they majorly re-kajigger the way windows works in future versions

I don't think it being hard is really the issue. Sony is a billion dollar multi-national corporation and they don't get any benefit of the doubt whatsoever. Is it hard? Maybe it is, but maybe they should have thought of what they were going to do in the future when they were designing this. As was pointed out elsewhere, volunteers making an open source emulator are managing it so Sony not wanting to, or being unable to, isn't an excuse.

Why is Pittsburgh the place to be for furries? I dunno, but I think it's great!

I'm sorry, but I think I disagree. I interpreted your point as "Employers care, you just have to hold them accountable". I don't think that is the attitude of companies who want to do things the right way. If workers have more rights than they know, and employers are aware of it, then I do not think that's an mistake, that's exploitation.

DO most employers want to get this right? Based on the fact that wage theft is the largest form of theft even with everything else combined, I think that's either a lie or a stupid thing to say.

Also, I just don't understand under what circumstances anyone should be exempt from overtime. Is there some group of people who are less deserving of getting paid for their time that I am unaware of? Even (shudder) managers should probably get paid.

I used to like that game and was sad when I went back to play and found I couldn't

Is this game still a mess? I really hope it gets fixed up at some point.

I love Guild Wars and this track is burned into my brain. It's been years and years since I've heard this I think, but as soon as I saw the title I heard it in my head
