  1. And I don't care that much about retailers(probably because I buy everything online) because they only sell what other people made.

     

    Where would people buy games if there was nowhere that sells them? Steam is a retailer too y'know. If people couldn't buy something then how do the devs get anything? Do you also believe that Supermarkets don't deserve any money? How about Clothing shops? What about your local hardware store?

    The fact of the matter is that the retailer has bought a product from the developer, they own that game and can do whatever they like with it. The dev HAS profited, by your logic the retailer should give any money it makes from selling the game onto the developer.

     

    They deserve to profit from every sale their game makes

     

    Seriously, they do. they get money every time a retailer buys games off of them. A second hand sale is not a lost sale, it is merely a potential sale which is impossible to measure. Potential and actual are two different things, the dev deserves every actual sale that the game gets. They do not however deserve potential sales because that is just plain silly.

  2. The publisher has already gotten money from a sale, why do you think they have the right to take back even more money after the sale? That's like going out and buying a Ford but when you sell it the buyer has to send Ford 10% of the original price? Why is that fair? Why would you defend such idiotic practices?

     

    -edit- I've heard the excuse that second hand sales put companies out of business, well what about the retailers? Why do you feel such sympathy for the developers but then not give a thought to the retailers who's primary source of income is used sales?

  3. I found them disappointing after all the hype Gearbox gave them. They talked about their advanced AI for the Big Daddies but it was obviously on a pre-determined path, I found more randomness with the monsters from Amnesia TBH :/

  4. It's the name of a ship from the first Elric novel written by Michael Moorcock. Brad gets the reputation even though he asked Mr. Google first =P

     

    Here's some epic Elric fanart for ya

  5. Solipsism is a bit of a silly philosophy. If the world exist only in your mind then you and the world are one and the same, there can be no real 'you'. Whether the rest of the world actually exists externally or internally is irrelevant. And it also relies far too much upon circular reasoning to be very insightful.

  6. It has to be:

     

    (i) - Zero

    (ii) - Zero

    (iii) - cannot equal to any number higher or lower then Zero.

     

    Area of a Triangle= 1/2 x base x height= 1/2 x 4 x 3. So wouldn't the answer to (ii) be 6 :\
