Yes, we’re speaking about the possible official announcement of Blizzard’s Diablo 3 which has been rumored to be announced next month. Too bad that this won’t be the case. Blizzard has released a statement regarding this rumor saying that they want to spend their time focusing on StarCraft 2 and Wrath of the Lich King so they don’t have any plans of announcing Diablo 3: We definitely appreciate that the community has a lot of interest in seeing the Diablo series continue, and we certainly share that desire. For now, though, our focus remains on StarCraft II and Wrath of the Lich King. I’m afraid I don’t have any new plans to announce at this time So when are we going to be hearing more information about this franchise? Hey, the stage is already set with Blizzard recently acquiring the Diablo3.com domain so please Blizzard, announce it already. source pc.qj.net
Needless to say, the idea of having to buy their games again after getting a new phone made several Nokia users angry. One of the posters in All About N-Gage spilled the beans on the rather rigid DRM on N-Gage games, and the article managed to catch the attention of Nokia itself. Nokia somehow understood their concerns, and posted the following official statement, part of which reads: We’ve noticed a number of media stories about N-Gage game transfers and wanted to clarify the issue. Due to replicate protection, N-Gage games, like most mobile games, are linked to one device. As the value of content increases, a robust copy protection mechanism is essential as it makes it possible for the games industry to invest in N-Gage content. We acknowledge our customers’ concerns and have been working on a solution that would allow people to transfer bought N-Gage games to a new Nokia device. We’re working with our Nokia Care Centers with an intermediate solution to enable the licensed transfers of games until a final solution is ready to be deployed. All’s well that ends well, then. We hope that other software outfits who use rather inflexible DRM policies would eventually follow suit. source mobile.qj.net |

Gadget-philes and generally all software consumers bristle whenever they hear this magic code:
