I am speaking directly for ESReality, Inc. when I state that censorship is good for gaming? Why is censorship good for gaming? Because it is also good for other things, like removing vulgar language from otherwise acceptable music, it must be good for gaming. Vulgarity is called vulgarity bec

Hi guys this is going to be a very short article. I was wondering how people felt if they were to find out that a particular site admin was a hacker? The admin made some comments in an irc channel a couple of weeks ago about cheating in single-player videogames. Demiurge expressed no concern or s

Part of the problem with QL's success, is that so many of us are individualistic. That means, we might prefer being outside of the mainstream. It's difficult to make something a 'business success', when it isn't in the mainstream. Being individuals, naturally, we prefer duel

If all players in the server have premium or pro accounts, premium maps should be votable, regardless of whether or not the server was originally marked 'premium'. Anyone agree, or see any problems with this?

The EuroCup XXIV is about to start! Now a quite a few big names are missing from the signups but the scene is healthy enough to fill the groups (2*6 teams) with good enough and maybe up and coming teams who will produce great and interesting matches. It should be really close between a lot of those

So i've been reading the recent cheating threads. The one that stood out is the zeroql thread for obvious reasons. Zeroql is an odd case, in the sense that he is both a cheater and a revered movie maker. The main question is, should one be able to get praise for the second while having d
