They want you to start using their Origin service. Expect other games with close releases coming up, to be Origin exclusive. http://www.gameranx.com/updates/id/2126/article/ea-pulls-crysis-2-and-alice-from-steam/

So, I conducted a little experiment and want everyone's input. Please be honest.

This is what's going to happen to most of us, as Cloud features become more prominent, and Netflix usage increases. We will effectively be cut-off from the internet, with no recourse and zero alternatives for cable access, thanks to the Comcast monopoly. Read this article and start getting mad.

On November 18th, as the country was celebrating Thanksgiving, President Obama signed a law, allowing Americans to kill and eat horses. Essentially, one turkey was pardoned in the presence of worldwide media while in the shadows, buried under pages of fiscal regulation, millions of horses were sentenced to death. Horse slaughter has been prohibited in the United States as funding for inspections of horses in transit and at slaughter houses was non-exi…

I want to hear your vote for the greatest story ever told in a game. Please use examples and your reason for your choice. Maybe we can vote afterwords and proclaim the winner in a Gamercide article and post it on Gamercide.org?? I think we need stronger story lines and more character development in the games we play.

I have a few in mind and have to narrow it down. So what say you GC?

If you live in Australia and you had pre-ordered tomorrow's Diablo 3 from them it's very possible that A) You're not getting the game and You'll never get a cent of the money you put down to pre-order back from the store. This was the text message you receive if the store you pre-ordered from was not going to be receiving stock of the game: Due to the appointment of an administrator to our business this morning, it is with regret that I inform you all that our stores will not be receiving any stock of diablo 3.
