I don't suppose anyone would allow me, or a few of us, access to their Chinese account with the game on it? Or can you not DL an on demand game to multiple systems?

So my game was working, and it was in english. But now it is saying the download is corrupted on my hard drive. I suppose they noticed?

Downloading for me at roughly 266KB/s which isn't really blazing, but given that my theoretical max download speed is roughly 384KB/s and that my brother's using Netflix in the living room, I wouldn't call it 'very slow'. Doesn't really matter; if the download finishes and installs properly there's really nothing they can do at that point; pretty sure I'd need to at least sign in to that account while connected to LIVE for them to void the license, although I could be wrong.

I doubt they'd remove the download entirely from the US servers, either; it'd piss off a bunch of legitimate owners even if it was only down for a day or two.

It's been stopped now but you can migrate the tag and still download.
I'm trying to figure out how to migrate mine to a UK account.


Also some people say you can still get it if you spoof your IP to a Chinese one.

    i thought everybody knew cocktails are like 75% ice
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah but not like this.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It's not like they're complaining that their Slurpee is 99% ice or something, but if the cocktail calls for "shot of vodka, shot of vermouth, shot of gin, shot of Campari, three shots of juice, squirt of lemon" and ends up being a thimbleful of booze, that's a problem.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the funny thing is cocktails in norway are only allowed to have 1 20ml shot of booze
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so..... yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    we're used to only having a thimbleful of booze
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Booo.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    same thing if you want whisky on the rocks or something, you can't get a double
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but you could buy as many shots of whisky (or anything else) as you want and ask for a glass of ice and pour them in
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's dumb
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Maybe.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    There was a comparison of the number of Ibuprofen poisonings before and after they limited the maximum dosage per box or per pill (i'll look that up). No limit on the number of boxes you can still buy as many as you want, so people argued it was pointless.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But the number of (accidental) poisonings dropped because drinking an entire package of ibuprofen pills went from "I need a new liver" to "I need a new box of Ibuprofen".
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Here we have ketoprofen that used to be prescription-only because of the risk of toxic dosages, but then they halved the dose per pill and sell them in bottles of six pills apiece instead of twenty and it doesn't need a prescription any more. Yes you can buy more than one bottle but people simply don't.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Usually accidentally overdose of ibuprofen here is from people taking like cold medicine then ibuprofen for a headache and the combination is over what they need
