Sarcasm is pretty much a lost cause in text :P otherwise I would use it much more, the only way that I have found Is if you throw your letters in italics and maybe underline with italics, with Quote Symbols...
for Exampple : Squadron TD is the greatest map ever created, "Squadron TD is the greatest map ever created."
Though its still not too clear, Its still there :P, and for anyone it was lost on, Squad TD sucks...

I must defend League of Legends though, it is the most Elegant Free 2 Play.
Vanity crap cost, The rest can be obtained by playing the game. So you dont HAVE to buy anything. I have put 20$ into League, just because I support it
Also league allows Custom Skins to be installed and modded into the game, but other players wont be able to see it.
hahaah, in america its 70 years... after the creator dies... Yeah... we pay BILLIONS, and in the past 12 years TRILLIONS, in america for these retards... they have Billions of their own, they should protect their own shit, With protection that burnt into the audio and such... They have the technology, they just refuse to use it because they make more money off the lawsuits.
Actually several studies have shown that Piracy actually helps Cross seas sales. Because what people do is they try a game or a movie, and if they like it they buy it. if they dont they dont, Piracy FORCES companies to make a better product, but like anything it needs to be in moderation otherwise it will start to hurt...
DONT FEEL BAD FOR THESE MONEY GRUBBING RETARDS.... If they wanted to protect their shit... they would have changed their DRM thats been on movies since 2000...
I used to moderate for a Torrent site, and I can tell you, SONY made an AWESOME anti Piracy mesure, Research Cinevia, Its GREAT. but like blu ray Microsoft and these other competing companies dont want to use, what they have been told they can use...
Microsoft supported Sopa, Protect IP and a few others.
[0003] The technology, briefly described, is a content presentation system and method allowing content providers to regulate the presentation of content on a per-user-view basis. Content is distributed to consuming devices, such as televisions, set-top boxes and digital displays, with an associated license option on the number of individual consumers or viewers allowed to consume the content. The limitation may comprise a number of user views, a number of user views over time, a number of simultaneous user views, views tied to user identities, views limited to user age or any variation or combination thereof, all tied to the number of actual content consumers allowed to view the content. Consumers are presented with a content selection and a choice of licenses allowing consumption of the content. In one embodiment, a license manager on the consuming device or on a content providers system manages license usage and content consumption. The users consuming the content on a display device are monitored so that if the number of user-views licensed is exceeded, remedial action may be taken.
[0082] The computer 2210 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only, FIG. 10 illustrates a hard disk drive 2241 that reads from or writes to non-removable, nonvolatile magnetic media, a magnetic disk drive 2251 that reads from or writes to a removable, nonvolatile magnetic disk 2252, and an optical disk drive 2255 that reads from or writes to a removable, nonvolatile optical disk 2256 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. Other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media that can be used in the exemplary operating environment include, but are not limited to, magnetic tape cassettes, flash memory cards, digital versatile disks, digital video tape, solid state RAM, solid state ROM, and the like. The hard disk drive 2241 is typically connected to the system bus 2221 through an non-removable memory interface such as interface 2240, and magnetic disk drive 2251 and optical disk drive 2255 are typically connected to the system bus 2221 by a removable memory interface, such as interface 2250.
[0088] The disclosed technology may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
[0086] The disclosed technology is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well-known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the technology include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
Theres a lot more, but thats what quickly caught my eye.

LOL, Where were these studies taken ? did they account for how long the players had been playing? how was there a control for this?
How about players skill.
My olderbrother bought His favorite character a skin, Annie, his skill didnt increase or decreade due to vanity...
Thats kind of like saying, me changing the actor model will give the player a better chance.

haha yeah, I know, but they aren't Supposed to.
What microsoft is talking about doing is Hijacking every Phone, Computer, and Camera and turning them into their personal surveillance equipment.
I see where yall are coming from, and its not the piracy that bugs me, its the fact of giving a corporation this kind of power to watch people....
The government doesnt even have this power... and for good reason.
I personally am seriously thinking of permanently boycotting microsoft.
Heres why http://appft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=%2220120278904%22.PGNR.&OS=DN/20120278904&RS=DN/20120278904
