Blogger called to court for bad Evony preview.

Wow, people working around Evony should be put to death right now. It's even more ridiculous than I thought.

Some comments on a Gardian article explain how some guy complained to the company about receiving 100+ evony spams a day. The guy working for evony basically told him to stfu and not even start threatening them.

Im loling hard at evony, they are more likely than not going to lose customers in the long run and maybe get a few bucks from that guy. I feel bad for him though, tough to fight a court case based in another country.

That is retard. Unfortunately I don't remember my law courses, but I'm pretty sure they have to have some real reason to sue him in Australia.
From what I understood, Evony servers are based in the US, the company that runs it is a branch of a chinese company, and is located in the US as well. The whole Australian thingy has no ground I'd say.

You can't just fill a paper, send it to a lawer office in a far away country and have them sue someone on another continent. There are some very strict laws as to what country is competent in what case. An australian court has absolutely no legitimacy to have a say in the matter.

After endless baiting and switching, Capcom finally let the cat out of the bag. A brand new, stand-alone SF4 game is confirmed, named humorously "Super Street fighter 4".

The game promises 8 new characters as well as a rebalancing patch to the original roster based on community suggestions. Capcom promises they won't be pushing this at full price, but that remains to be seen. It's on Schedule for a Spring 2010 release.

Bad news for any of us who were hoping to catch some frags in demo-land before the Modern Warfare 2 release in a month and a half. Infinity Ward has revealed they have no plans for a demo, despite CoD4 having one (one that was quite good i might add). IF claims this is so they can devote more time to polish, and their track record is good in that regard. We'll see.

Finally: the PSPgo has been getting a lot of headlines as I'm sure you've seen. What has me most intrigued is the complete lack of physical media, it seems to be all digital. Of course, that has the potential for huge drawbacks. It is entirely dependent on the an internet connection (WiFi specifically) for purchases and playing. But it also seems to boast a plug + play ability with your PC, so you can hook up and download directly from the PSN that way. If it works it could be a very interesting step in portables.

The main downside of the PSPgo currently... it looks to retail at $250 USD, which is a full hundred more than its rival the DS( according to prices at Amazon, for a brand new DSi) Heck, for that price i could almost get a PS3 slim! As kotaku points out, Sony is looking to completely cut out the retailer with an all digital games library, you'd think they could cut us a break with that in mind!
