I wasn't talking about you.... you haven't been in here bitching like a little schoolgirl about this.

I'd also like to point out, that what you did is a bit out of the norm. Some of the people on this thread are acting like they are some holier-than-thou messiah like figure by claiming that what OnLive is doing is wrong or that they aren't doing enough or whatever other bullshit.... when in reality they probably haven't done shit themselves.

;)

This is obviously flame bate, but you've got my blood boiling and I just cant help myself. Your right, I haven't donated much money to charity. I have donated a bunch of Christmas presents. I have volunteered my time to local charities as well serving hot dogs and the like. Once, I even participated in a puppet show at St. Jude Childeren's Research Hospital on a church mission trip. So just back off. Insulting people here isn't helping out your charities.

No, see... what I said was the truth... Your first post was the flamebait. If you were truly worried about helping the charities as you so claim you are, then you wouldn't be coming in here & goddamning a charitable action as being wrong & not enough for your tastes. Instead you would either pass this thread by in an effort to not turn others away who would be interested in helping them help the children... or you would suck it up... like them on Facebook & then if you so desire unlike them once the charity period was up. See... but that wasn't good enough for you now was it?

Its great that you find the time to help these charities (that is if you are telling the truth & not just trying to save face), but when you come in here & talk your shit, you sure as hell aren't helping this one. TRUTH BE TOLD

Damn OnLive are really pushing, I hear their name everyday now through ads or news posts. They think if they can nail this streaming shit early they will always have an advantage when other companies get into it. More power to them I guess, though I will never support streaming for games.

That's not a problem to "undo" like page on facebook after they pay monies to the charity.

If you feel disgusted, donate the money by yourself rather than post bullshit.

OP -> thanks for the info, me likes OnLive now. For some time, at least.

OnLive rents a huge booth at PAX every year (well, at least the last two, all they've been in business, iirc). It's not surprising since they work like crazy to get their brand out at PAX (Penny Arcade Expo) that they'd take up Child's Play as a charity (also started by Penny Arcade). Sure, will you get some ad from it? Yeah. Who cares? They're kicking in money for charity, hell, they were giving their systems away for free to anyone who'd sign up at PAX.

I don't like OnLive personally, as in, it's not a service that I want, however as a company I don't really think they're bad guys. They certainly seem eager to win folks over to their cause. And if you have a Facebook account, your info is for sale anyway, might as well get a buck sent to charity for it.
I think they're in the market too early, the infrastructure isn't there. Then again a lot of people think the Wii graphics look just fine, so maybe now is the time.

Your anger doesn't do you any favours here Robertitus. Relax mate :) It's not helping you or anyone else getting angered by differences in opinion. Don't like what he says? Ignore it

Also, comparing how much a company donates to that of a normal person such as MobiusArcher is not fair

I'll add, things that help charity are good

Just my .02 cents

We'll , he's certainly right for mentioning this charity action is only to make OnLive more popular and it costs nothing for Ubisoft.

But I don't really care. As soon as I get first OnLive ad on my wall, I will ban them and dislike them, end of story.

But the money for Child's Play remains. And this is the point :)

Geez relax man. It was Saturday, I was drunk and somehow missed the part about $1 per lIke.

Anyway, don't be so judgmental lol. Actually I give money to charity from time to time. It just makes me laugh when you compare clicking do donating. You don't actually donate anything, they do :P

Most of the first 45k were for a cheap Batman anyway.

I wouldn't know about that... See... I'm straightedge therefore I don't drink alcoholic beverages, smoke or do drunks (nor do I engage in frivolous sex... but that is really unimportant here). So I think it goes without saying that I don't ever stumble onto a random forum in an altered state of mind & make idiotic posts simply because I was to whacked out of my mind to even be able read clearly.

That is the point.... I never once stated that I was donating a damn thing. As a matter of fact, the entire time I have been trying to defend OnLive from people who are bashing them for this move.



P.S. Just in case you haven't realized... the first part of that is totally just me trollin'. Don't get me wrong... I meant what I said. I just normally wouldn't say it.

Sorry but no, I rather give Child's play money directly or via the Humble Bundle than doing anything that could even remotely support OnLive. (Heck I even hesitate buying the HB because of them)

I don't have anything personal against OnLive, but if I did I would still like their Facebook page because of the charity. In that case, I would see it as a small evil for the greater good.

I'll pass on supporting On-live and continue donating to the local charities of my choice.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people like to bash OnLive when really for a subset of gamers they're a really good deal.

It's not like Steam which is going to eventually kill gaming as we know it.
