@Jenn Flash can't hijack your webcam. You need to explicitly give it permission.

Um... you don't think they might actually be thimbles?

What, just like the DS? Yeah, that failed.

Molyneux can code. From Wikipedia:

The Entrepreneur (1984) (Designer/Programmer)
Fusion (1987) (Designer/Programmer)
Populous (1989) (Designer/Programmer)
Powermonger (1990) (Designer/Programmer)
Populous II: Trials of the Olympian Gods (1991) (Designer/Programmer)
Theme Park (1994) (Project Leader/Lead Programmer)
Black & White (2001) (Concept/Design Leader/Programmer)

Bitch, bitch, bitch.

If you don't like it, don't watch. Shut the hell up and let the rest of us enjoy it.

Yahtzee rocks my Thursdays.

What, like the original Ghostbusters game from 1984?

The C64 version was actually quite decent, unlike the console versions.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt too.

Not corporations however.

No bandit, you're the one who doesn't understand the business of public and corporate relations. Gamespot have, through their own actions, caused irrepairable damage to their reputation. Regardless of the reason behind the firing of Gerstmann, they should have known what conclusions their readers and the wider industry and community would jump to.

Don't forget - while Gamespot's revenue comes from advertising, they still need readers to look at those advertisments, otherwise they become worthless. Anything that makes them look like they have modified or removed a review based on pressure from advertisers, regardless of whether that is a fact or just rumour, damages their core business.

Just Europe? Try almost every country in the world aside from the US.

Black & White was a Lionhead game - you're confusing Will Wright with Peter Molyneux.
