Yhea, it's what everyone's afraid for. If this is a publicity stunt to squeeze money out of 'dying' pc gaming, i'm going to kill myself, but there's hope, a little spark of hope that they are serious and going to change something in favor of 'us', but, I don't think such do-gooders exist anymore in a capitalistic world like this.

By "us" do you mean PC gamers? I own a number of consoles, but do most of my gaming on the PC, and I certainly don't have an us-vs-them mentality about the whole thing. I really don't think it's the sort of battle in which one will overtake the other, barring the possibility that they just become functionally indistinguishable from one another (consoles are, you can't deny, becoming more and more like game-focused-PCs).

Actually, that's just kind of a tangent. You may have meant "us" as in "gamers in general". My money's on publicity stunt.

With us I meant the people who mostly play pc, like me, although I also have some consoles. I'm not thinking of it as an "us vs them" kind of thing either, but I just didn't know how to word it differently.

Is it gonna be that touchscreen concept they showcased last year?

That's the switchblade. But the date on the "trailer" is the same date they have a presentation on PAX about a new gadget they made, and they say that if you loved the switchblade, you're going to love that new thingamajing they are going to present there. It's probably all a big publicity stunt to get A LOT of more attention to it.

Oh no, here's a quote from a comment at RPS.

Apparently the timer lines up with the first day of PAX prime, and they have a panel on:

    PC Gaming is (Not) Dead
    Pegasus Theatre
    Saturday 11:30am – 12:30pm
    Join Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan for a live presentation of Razer’s new, groundbreaking project for PC Gamers worldwide.

The official worldwide announcement will be made during this session at PAX Prime, and don’t miss your chance to win epic Razer gear! Q&A session to follow the presentation.

What do you think, good or bad news?

There you go.

so razer made this strange trailer saying that all the rumors of pc gaming being dead are greatly exagurating and saying something awesome will happen on 8/26/11. That's in 4 days.
It's the same date  as DX3, but in some countries it get's released the day after that or something, so it's not likely the two dates are related.
So what are you waiting for?

DISCUSS!

EDIT: Nevermind, i'm just dumb.

Because of all of ubisuck's stunts lately, I am really starting to hate them. They are treating us PC gamers like an ugly beat-up dead hobo which has been peed on and hung upside down in a tavern to amuse all of the drunk customers who play darts on us. And then say it's our own fault. (We lost a shoe we bought from ubisoft so the other one triggered a self-defense mechanism.)

I'm not a person who tends to hate someone/something quick, but I really feel like Ubisoft should go down, before it can ruin even more stuff. Screw the new assassin's creed, when you buy it on pc you'll probably just find a ticket in the box which you can use to play the game once at the fuckisoft headquarters, after which your saves are deleted and you have to buy a new copy in order to play again.

What about a big bomb, folk? or a lunatic with a shotgun? So much possibilities..

SOLDNER! How can you not own?

Thread title should change to: "Yes a rainbow, YES! NOW GET YOUR ASS IN THAT VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE, NOT TREE, BAMBAMBAM. Ah that's better".

Story time?

I think it's self explanatory. It includes 7 AI characters and two HMMWV. We got raided by some npcs whilst driving, so all the AI got out and started shooting, and we killed them all! But when the AI had to go back in the vehicle, oh boy.. I guess they probably forgot how to open a door.

As for what comes hosting servers why not use one that allready is up?
There is commands to take admin powers of server.. select missions and 24/7 up

But the problem with "hijacking" servers is that 1) Random people could join and ruin everything and 2) You're limited to the scenarios installed on that server, all the servers with good scenarios are not empty.

Hmm, I don't think the free one will work. But with combined operations, wasen't there an exe in the gamefolder that would just run vanilla arma2 and one to just run OA?
