If you ask me, they should fire all their development staff and most of the management and replace them with actual FF fans who work in the sector.

Then make a *good* FFVII remake and go from there.

But they won’t. They’ll just keep burning down the franchise.

I watched an interesting comparison of Katana and European swords some time ago. Katana is a form of light sword, aimed at cutting, which is why it’s so sharp and light. It can be drawn fast and is efficient against light armor (leather) that was used in it’s prime time around Japan. It would be [...]

Even a robot with only a “Hello world!” program would make better decisions (read: less harm) than this lunatic insanity. Seriously, what do they think will happen if Comiket and Akiba go down? I’m pretty sure all hell will break loose and so much shit will hit the fan they won’t be able to fart [...]

It’s completely stupid IMO. Imagine what 2chan will do with them when they don’t have these things to keep them occupied?

They will learn new definitions of the word rape, that’s for sure.

Keeping the servers alive is one thing, and they are possibly able to do that for quite some time (financially). Now the difficult part is developing a game that does not suck and attract folks to play and spend money on it. Yes, that’s indeed horribly expensive, especially if you try to clean up suck [...]

Holly shit, every time Hollywood touches an anime and tries to adapt it to live action it turns out to be complete carp.

Just stop it, damn it!

Yup, they did.

And they don’t really manage to profit from most of what they do. They profit still stands on the OS and Office products, everything else performs mostly mediocre or worse.. probably because in most cases it is dog shit.

I wonder how he could manage to goof off 5 friggin’ YEARS without noticing that something is awry???

I’d guess he was draining some of his relatives to uphold this kind of lifestyle. Maybe he should bale them instead of others.

Something must have gone really wrong with his internal wiring..

Absolutely. This was disgusting.

@alidan “..and isnt 1 core of the cpu devoted to the piracy blocking?” Technically, one of the eight SPE’s is reserved for system functions and the hyper-visor (the CPU dispatches the workload to the SPE’s). In layman’s terms, the hyper-visor puts the application into a sandbox + only runs it when the digital signatures are verified. In [...]

Nice, I created a group too, just to make sure there are enough.

Is there a way to add a gallery of perverted group pictures (e.g. chan integration)?

The thing is, console business is being done subsidized, meaning they sell it below production/distribution cost and make back the money via the game royalties. Otherwise you are right, I wouldn’t buy a locked down platform either (especially since they removed the other OS feature). The business models are just pretty screwed up in this [...]
