Do you have a link to that podcast?

Are you telling me the English words America and world do not correspond to the reflection of the same set of social, political, economic and psychological actualities? In the English language, the language we're using on this board, America is the world.dLMN8R said:Are these guys really that incapable of understanding how NPD works?
Catherine's sales are 200k worldwide. NPD numbers are only North America. It's not difficult to figure out why the discrepancy is there, and it's not solely because of "shipped vs. sold".
Fuck, this misunderstanding is the perfect example for why NPD stopped giving out actual numbers in the first place - because "analysts" still don't seem to actually understand at all what those numbers represent.

hey_it's_that_dog said:Can't believe Garnett is still arguing that what people do in the privacy of their own game affects his enjoyment simply because he knows that some people bought their shit. It sounds like the same line of thinking employed when people argue that gay marriage will somehow ruin or devalue their straight marriages.
Garnett, I understand that you want people to appreciate the game in the same way you did, but you have to remember that lots of people will, even if the option to buy stuff is there. Probably millions of people! And it doesn't matter if some people choose to play another way if they think that's what will be more fun for them. You don't get to dictate the "proper" way to enjoy the game. And dictate is probably too strong a word, but your reaction really seems to be driven by the idea that there's a correct way to appreciate the game, you know that way, and you think it would be best if other people played that way too.
Jeff's analogy to gamefaqs was excellent. Do I agree that just using a guide right off the bat is a bad way to play a game? I do. Do I care if someone else does it? No. And frankly, I'm very glad gamefaqs exists so that when I do feel the need to look something up, it's there. My frustration is minimized and my enjoyment is maximized. And I don't turn to gamefaqs if the whole point of the game or a particular puzzle is the satisfaction of solving it. I turn to gamefaqs when I'm stuck for some stupid, irrelevant reason and I want to get back to enjoying the game as best I can.

If the way someone else plays a game, diminishes your enjoyment of it.
I feed bad for you.
