Deterrence

I'm pretty sure that was sarcasm...

Since the goldfarmers have to play on the US servers to sell to US customers, I don't see how the Chinese servers shutting down would affect them at all.

It beat Lite, the old version. DSi destroyed everything else by a huge margin.

Do nothing and just hope it's fixed soon?

Trailers for NMH2 peaked my interest in the game, but I sure as hell was not going to shell out $250 for just NMH and Smash Bros., so here's to hoping the ports come soon!

Everyone seems to be worried about dropping the "Call of Duty" title, but the commercial you're going to see a hundred times before its launch will include "From the creators of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" without a doubt, so really, I think MW2 has a good chance (certainly better than anything other than the upcoming Halos) of beating GTA4 launch.

And I ask what can exactly be done about it? No matter what methods people think up to curb piracy, something else will spring up to go around the problem. DRMs do nothing but piss off the consumer, which in turn encourages the legit buyers to turn to piracy. Even if all the developers out there made amazing games that came with an appealing bonus for buying the game, not everyone will purchase it and some will just download it.

Just imagine how big the patches will have to be when they release new content, which will no doubt include new NPCs. I just have to wonder though, what will the end game be?

It's over!!!

Unbelievable. I can't believe Ubisoft approved this. Seriously, end this torment already! We're watching/reading for games, not your explanation of Avatar lore.
