(Response to someone wondering about whether AMD cards are any good):
It might seem silly, but I prefer using as much free and open source software as possible on my system (even though it is full of closed source games ^___^'), and thus I am quite happy with my GCN 1.1 Mullins AMD GPU (1gb VRAM). With open source drivers it manages TF2 on very low settings perfectly, most other 3d intensive games run pretty badly, but I prefer graphically more abstract games anyway, lets me use my imagination. Quadrilateral Cowboy, Duskers, Hot Tin Roof, Hearthstone, TIS-100, Caves of Qud, Odallus (via Wine), Cave Story, Icewind Dale etc etc etc all run very well.
My only complaint is that the naming conventions are eternally confusing, I can never be sure what my card corresponds to when reading system reqs for games for example.
My next laptop (in many years prob) will probably be something like Tehnoetic T500 Laptop with Libreboot and GNU/Linux-libre [External Link], the GPU is pretty crappy, but should let me play my more graphically simpler games at least.
It's an interesting inner conflict there, I am really all for the free software movement, as soon as I can I will surely join as a member of the FSF, at the same time my system is smack full of closed source games. I guess working at a publicly financed institution that has totally locked itself in closed source (MS) software for seemingly all eternity resulting in gigantic (public) costs for garbage software has made me want to keep as free as possible myself, while still enjoying games.

I mean, it says right there that they just have to change meta-data tags and names and such. Why not? They can just write D**m or something instead, big deal.

Apparently it's not that bad, they might get away by just changing some names on the website - the game itself is not mentioned, according to RPS [External Link].

I think that a cool marketing strategy would be to just do nothing tomorrow, and people will go insane, and they will get lots of attention :P

For someone without very good aim, this game's mechanics + a (as far as I've heard) toxic community keeps me firmly attached to my TF2, where I can be useful by being smart rather than having cyborg arms for aiming :P
