No, no, no....see, when big corporations do it that's called "lobbying" not "bribes".
It's funny how hard it is for providers to get this concept. I feel we're about to enter the cycle where we see an uptick in mainstream piracy because the price is starting to outweigh the convenience and legality.
"I will buy McDonald's for your whole family...." Definitely feels like a scam of some sort.

Exactly! I especially like your point about T2. I don't think it's wrong to put a lot of money behind a AAA game, but there needs to always be a balance weighted toward the creative/entertainment value (whether it's innovative game mechanics or story driven).
Once that balance shifts to the business side by focusing on recouping the investment is when a project is at risk for not being received well.
I think all gamers are ok with studios making a profit on their games, but don't try to fleece us.
The healthcare industry has as much incentive as the financial industry to maintain a high security environment. Fines for exposing PHI can be astronomical if a large number of records are compromised.
This is a new cold war that we've been in for a while now. Government backed hacker groups from foreign nations are constantly targeting high profile organizations. Healthcare, Finance, and Government are three of the top targets.

There are too many breakout indie hits developed by one person or a small team that prove this isn't true across the industry.
AAA development may be that way because there are higher expectations, just like blockbuster movies invest heavily in special effects and A-list celebs. But at the end of the day gamers just want to be entertained.
Agreed. The form factor is right. AR technology will only reach the possibility of mass adoption when it can fit in/on the existing eye-glasses form factor.
This is still news worthy, but not "Front page" news worthy. Back in the newspaper days this would be sent to the back of the paper.
I read one time that scammers intentionally make over the top stories because they want to weed out anyone with critical thinking skills.
This story seems right in line with that.
They dropped "do no evil" a while ago.
