pc games <pcgame...@yahoo.com> looked up from reading the entrails of
the porn spammer to utter  "The Augury is good, the signs say:

Nope, no one has the right to end a thread unless they own the forum in
which it's presented.  Since this is anarchic usenet, not your very own
private web forums, you're S.O.L.

>The time for "talking" is over, OVER!

These are discussion groups, all we do here is talk; maybe you missed
that.

>We are wasting our time and we no longer can afford it
>Developers are threatening abandoning the PC
>I repeat, developers are threatening abandoning the PC and doing games

Oh no, the PC games industry is dying, film at eleven.

This particular bit of the sky falling has been screamed by Chicken
Littles like yourself for over 20 years now.

Funnily enough it never actually happens.

What's that, Microsoft launching this all out media campaign for PC

Oh but that's different I guess.

>No more talk! talk doesn't do shit! Action! ACTION! We need Action,

We'd better need some strategy, some role playing and some adventure
too, to justify your crossposting.
