That's what I've thought at times, but then I've come to the conclusion that: Think about the population of big internet sites (google, fb, etc) there will ever be. There are countless of these sites that have yet to be created as of today.

That would not be honest at all. Putting in a redeemable game voucher for On-Live was not "accidentally packed" into each game. Square-Enix came to an agreement with On-Live to include On-Live digital copies. I'm amazed at how Gamestop does

Do you think that cash transactions are unavoidable? Players sell accounts, power leveling services, items, gold, etc. There are always people who are willing to pay real cash for virtual things. Without fundamentally changing the game, you

As a Diablo 2 player, Step 1 is the nature of the game. Unique Items are extremely rare, so that when you got one, it was a super big deal . You never know what items will drop when you kill the next monster, but odds are extremely low it

I browsed Quora briefly before, but I never got addicted to it. A Q&A site like stack overflow is nice, because I end up there by searching Google for programming questions. I'd probably only end up on Quora if it was the result of a Go
