To quickly get you up to speed: Wolfire claims that Valve uses its position with Steam to control game prices and muscle out competition.

    Man Kicked Out of Store After Caught Jerking Off to PlayStation 4 Consoles

    Sony's marketing sure has gotten weird.

    An unidentified man was kicked out of an electronics store after he was caught pleasuring himself in front of some PlayStation 4 consoles sitting on a shelf. The man was caught on closed-circuit TV cameras stopping in front of the consoles, dropping his pants, and going to town. This was within just a few feet of two customers.

    Capcom decided instead to change some of the camera work and alter her move set a bit so that the butt slap is out of frame and the split move is apparently no longer...
