Does anyone else hate this stupid heading, it looks crap, the pc DVD is smaller and better looking i am going to stop buying games if they keep putting that there. REALLY. I *refuse* to buy that ugly thing. I dont care if the game i am buying rules. I will not buy it if it has that on it.

you need to chill. either that or throw yourself off a bridge. i mean if such a small thing gets to you how do you survive.

The only game I bought with that logo on was.. Supreme Commander, it's collecting dust for me and the 2 coworkers I recommended it to... shame on me..

It pisses me off that i have to see 'WINDOWS' thrown in my face every time i want to buy Supreme Commander. And now Crysis, What next?

Just wish they had made another TA.

well, they are games for windows. why shouldn't they advertise it. they are trying to convince gamers that microsfot still thinks the PC is a gming platform.

I would not mind if it wasnt so bloody ugly, if it was small and well presented it would be cool but this one is looks horrible, i buy games to get something NICE not to get a piece of windows advertising.

ehm, you have serious issues. i mean, it is a box. you buy a game to play it ot to look at the box. it takes up practically no room at all.

the Company of Heroes box has it and i can't say i notice it. i think you need serious help if this is the worst thing you have to worry about.

I buy games to own the case, and to know that i supported the company. Now i am basically supporting windows, which i don't. It is just something to make the case ugly, i will just make some black pieces of cardboard and glue them over it.

I strip all the windows out of my windows os for flips sake, now they are putting windows in my games too? What the hell. I hope sony ruins them.

hmm, so why do you use windows? don't use it and don't play games. you don't support wndows and yet without it you wouldn't be able to play the games.

you have got to be one of the oddest people on these forums and not in a good way. i really cannot see where you are coming from.

Well i like being odd. The only part of windows i approve of is the kernel and the original win 95 interface. I don't like they way microsoft does things, but then again i dont like the way linux works either and i don't like apple. Basically i just dont like the whole way os's work, if i could use DOS i would be happy. IBM dos, not windows dos. I use windows cause i like games, MAC gaming my eye, and linux supports open gl only. I know DX is microsoft but if it looks better so be it.

Basically i want to be able to use windows without it making it abundantly clear that i am using any of thier new 'innovations' like using all your fucking ram so the apps you NEVER use can load faster. The only remaining portions of my XP are the kernel, the basic gui, DX support and one or two networking services. I like the kernel but i dont want to see any of thier other crap on my pc. I will buy their product, and support them that way, but after that i want to be able to have NOTHING else of theirs running. I have want the BARE MINIMUM of windows running i don't want to see more than the windows logo on the start bar. I want to buy the thing once and never have to see the windows logo again. If i could cut it out of the start menu i would.

Try it and see what i mean, I cut out EVERYTHING that was not red, except some of the networking cause that is kind of essential. Basically if i have the kernel i am happy but idont want the kernel showing me dogs that search for files, and green rolling hills. I want the fact that it can run games and that is it. I like the platform and it's stability for games (XP that is), but NOTHING else.

I use Open Office.
VNC
VLC
Mozilla
Flashget
NOD32
and Games and that is all i want running in the background.
Not windows firewall or security centre, or anything else they say 'optimises' windows like the indexing service, or defragmenter (theirs does not even work) i can copy my files in a way the prevents fragmentation. I want a kernel on which i can run games and not see anything distinctly microsoft. I will use their shit but i don't want to be told i am doing so by paperclips and signposts on my pc. Basically i use windows cause it works the things i use, i dont want ANYTHING more. And if they manage to get DX 10 working on XP I am NOT moving....

Nothing wrong with windows after it has it's cancer removed by nLite.
I would be happy if they left their ugly logo off my game boxes, i paid them once, i am not going to do so again. I know developers pay them to use DX but that is unavoidable.

I seriously dislike their logo on my pc.

The windows kernel is great, the rest isn't.

It is impossible to be a gamer and not use windows, i just want to use as little of it as possible.

You are doubtlessly now going to look for inconsistencies in my posts but hey, who cares, The whole point of this post was to ask if anyone else hated the ugly billboard they have glued onto perfectly good looking game covers, all you needed to say was, "No".

your crazy. That is all i have to say. Chill out man.

I agree.. You are nuts man.

Simple solution - take the paper insert out of the case, cut off the banner with a pair of scissors, then put the insert back. Job done.

Now you can stop whining and get back to playing games.

I am going to.
But i will just replace it with something like a black piece of paper.

True, you are nuts.

Have you ever thought that by having this banner on the game box, the games company is receiving extra revenue. So in a way by the games developer having this banner it is actually helping them and supporting there work, so in a way if you made them cut out this banner you would be hurting there cash flow thus being very unsupportive of that developer.

Yes, getting rid of a signpost will kill a game company, RIIIIGHT.
