YAHOO SUCKS!

Gazz · 10-11-2007, 08:08 PM

It seems that Yahoo has gone a little bit overboard with the term exclusive. The demo isn't available for anyone. I have had it with these unreliable sites paying mony for exclusives and asking you to register to download or even worse pay for a demo that should be free.

What's next, we have to pay additional money to see trailers of a game or go to www.payordontplay.com. Yahoo sucks and I hope that publishers will start to realize that they need to give exclusives to places like GH for being an free site that contributes to gaming.

You said it brotha! I have no more to add!

GT@Ultra · 10-11-2007, 08:29 PM

True ;) Yahoo is horrible

Warlok · 10-11-2007, 08:46 PM

You know what though? This sort of thing happens frequently when some executive from company A tries to extract monies from executive at company B by offering exclusivity...

One of these years they might actually learn that the smartest move is to forego any short-sighted financing with such deals in favour of actually getting their demos out there and having many people try them. My point is to really lay some blame upon those who make the deals - Infinity Ward MUST be considered culpable too.

(i.e. its not just Yahoo that sucks...)

Looking forward to trying CoD 4, but why do people insist on making these things so difficult all the time?

(Greed. Okay - answered my own question.)

An 18k per second transfer from fragland that was preceded by the following warning/info:

"Servers meant for broadband transfer"

(or something quite similar)

Phhhh - yea right. Checking GamersHell with great frequency...

Here! here!

I can't stop laughing at the idea that they may have paid money for this exclusivity for good publicity but on the contrary made an ass of themselves by screwing things up
