Yeah, I heard about that whole thing when the game was new and I couldn't stop laughing, "Haha seriously? Indiscriminately mowing people down with bullets like you do in every FPS, but you're offended by a fictional, virtual baptism?"Quote:

I've seen several stories where they have done this.Quote:

Well, I don't know about other people, but personally my high regard of Valve isn't about their policies. It's about the fact that based on everything I've ever read and every Valve employee I've ever talked to, it is THE single best place to work in the videogame industry. They treat their employees exceedingly well and for that alone they have my respect.
I'm sure you can return a game for a full refund, as long as you return the game with everything intact. You wouldn't want to return a game with a missing box or something that says "I've been used" all over it. And just be sure to do that within a certain time after the date of purchase. I don't think you really need to let them know you disagree with the TOS, it's not like they need to know why you are returning the game.
From an employee's perspective, Google is probably the best company in the world to work for.Quote:

Well, I was talking about videogame companies.
I hate Google too, though. So high-five there.
Why the google hate :confused:
I dunno about DMKA but for me it's a combination of a.) I don't think they do a good job with user privacy, and b.) I hate how they're trying to to tie everything together into one system. I feel like they're turning into the new Microsoft.
I'm way off topic though xD
I apparently don't pay enough attention to stuff, because I didn't know any of that.
I use google to look up stuffs on the Internetz and it does an okay job of that, so I don't hate them.
:love:Quote:
