Didn't they implement that system in order to put a kibosh on people selling Steam keys? And why would Steam stop support for OAuthorization? What was so wrong with it?

I like GOG's distribution method better than Steam's.What about Steam?

In your original link, I don't know which is weaker: the tweets, or the post author's attempt to debunk them. I mean the supposedly killer argument he makes against the music having Soviet ties is just as much bunk as the tweet. Just because something was written 60 years prior doesn't mean it's not a) been appropriated as propaganda, or b) associated in the average American mind with the USSR. Your average Joe American never seemed to get the Soviet Union/Russia distinction anyway.Jon McIntosh is an idiot, part 2.
I think it's PS4 console exclusivity. It was always going to get a PC release and they said so right when they announced it.
As for GOG... it's fine. I prefer the Steam interface and all, but GOG's no DRM is also very nice.

I assumed the PC port would have a delay after the release on Sony platforms.
Sony's actually pretty good about this thing when dealing with developers who want to do PC. For instance, Overkill Software released Payday: The Heist on PS3 and PC simultaneously after getting Sony to back them.
GTA V for the superior gamers (aka PC version) has been delayed until March. It's not a huge delay, only a few weeks, but dammit am I anticipating that release.
Listen to me, Rockstar. Listen to me good... for once in your life, you better not fuck up a pc release. This is your chance.

Pretty true for me too. I only JUST got GTA 4 + all DLC and it was only 5 bucks.
Yet the new Wolfenstein has the literal most realistic non-toxic romance I've ever seen in a video game. It's fucked up that a Wolfenstein game managed that before any other game company.Jon McIntosh is an idiot, part 2.
What was the rumor?
New 2D Castlevania.
I've heard rumblings that we'll finally be seeing a new Metroid entry at E3 this year, they're saying 3DS. I hope it's a new side-scroller, I would pee a little.

I was hoping this was some sort of translation error, but it's pretty explicit in the FAQ "Keep in mind that an AC adapter is not included with your New Nintendo 3DS XL system; you may use your Nintendo 3DS/2DS adapter, or purchase a new one separately."
Not that I was looking to buy one at launch, but this type of nickel & dime bullshit kind of kills my interest in ever getting one.

Quite. I'm a 3DS XL owner, and a staunch Nintendo customer. Rather than nickle & diming me, they should be offering a trade-in bonus/discount if I send in my old XL towards getting a New 3DS XL. Otherwise, I'm going to wait for a discount anyway.
It has the built in circle pad that is going to be used in several games (like Monster Hunter), as well being a bit stronger on the graphic side of the things. Nintendo has already confirmed you'll need the new version to play the Xenoblade port, which is basically the only way a lot of people will ever get to play it.
