I don't. Love them.

I am mixed on them, I was quite fond of them on console but then when I started PC gaming I noticed all the trash that is out there and I can see how it can turn people.
And by majority (key word) his paragraph about the haters is actually accurate, more often than not if it's only 20.00 and has a small team of 8 devs its probably an indie game, or self published...just saying though I know he was trying to make a point.
Hell even the indie dev teams create "studio" names and publish it, ever really read the Steam early access stuff half of those games are technically "indie" and probably more than half suck and are cash grabs, so much so big name publishers are getting into the early access stuff.
Bodycount is a pretty crappy game. That is all.

I dropped $130 on one not too long ago. The main appeal seems to be banners for live streaming. I'm sure it won't be too long for that to be built in the system streaming too.
Has anyone actually ever sold (instead of trading in) a game on Amazon? Wanting to dump 2K14 and FIFA 14 but there is no trade offer for FIFA.

Do you still have 2K14? Is it for PS4? Are you interested in selling it?Quote:

This week, Anita Sarkeesian had to leave her home after receiving horrific death and rape threats online. Her crime? She made a video that suggested maybe, just maybe, video games could treat women better. Game developer Tim Schafer linked to the video on his Twitter account, urging people to watch it, and in response people literally told him to go and kill himself.
Last week, indie developer Zoe Quinn had her personal life spilled over the internet in its entirety by a jilted ex-boyfriend. Now she’s being chased all over the internet and out of her house by more death and rape threats, subjected to a barrage of public condemnations of her private sex life, and being held up by angry human garbage as an example of how feminism is destroying video games. Fez developer Phil Fish had his website hacked and his entire life, his social security numbers, his financial details, everything, dumped online. His crime? Speaking up in support of Zoe Quinn.

So, here’s another change for you: if you really think feminism, or women, are destroying games, or that LGBT people and LGBT relationships have no place in games, or that games in any way belong to you or are “under attack” from political correctness or “social justice warriors”: please leave this website. I don’t want your clicks, I don’t want your hits, I don’t want your traffic. Leave now and please don’t come back.
I’m asking politely. You’re free to think whatever you like and to complain about whatever you like, but do it somewhere else. Comments are closed on this article, because this isn’t up for debate. I’m not seeking any input on this, or any carefully worded thoughts on how we need to take these concerns seriously or to hear “both sides of the story”. As long as I am in charge of this ship, I will happily admit to pushing an agenda: I want better representation in games. That’s my agenda. That’s our agenda.

Speaking with VideoGamer, senior producer Vincent Pontbriand revealed the figures, which come in below the 1080p/60fps figures that Ubisoft was reportedly targeting for both platforms. And while there is a technical reason for not being able to reach those numbers, Ubisoft decided to make the two console versions identical in the interest of parity. "We decided to lock them at the same specs to avoid all the debates and stuff," Pontbriand explained.
Wise decision
