307 - 08/28/11 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Retailers vs. Publishers with Deus Ex and From Dust
The theme for this show is "Retailers vs. Publishers" - as it seems that there are many stories of them being at odds with each other.
The first story deals with Gamestop removing coupons to redeem a free version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution playable on the OnLive cloud gaming service. They then just removed the product entirely and are issuing coupons of their own to dissatisfied customers.
Ubisoft is no stranger to overbearing DRM, and From Dust is no exception. Steam is actually offering refunds of the title due to the DRM.
If you're waiting for your favorite PSN title to come to Xbox Live Arcade, go ahead and stop holding your breath.
Then we take calls about Gamestop, Wing Commander, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
