Aw :S Well something like that had to happen one day... too bad it's for Sony and not for Microsoft I like how they say "Well, all your personnal details have been stolen, buuut... about the credit cards numbers we are still... "unsure", eh ? " :roll: .
flipping hackers... luckily i didn't use any creditcard on it, only those $20 thingies cards to buy stuff in the store But i know a friend who did use a creditcard D: EDIT: *actually reads the article now* ah...shit.
Yes massive ouch, dont think i'll change my card or anything like a lot of people have done. Whos that question directed at Kill, dont get it?
Was chatting with Killvion about this on chat... Seems odd to notice it, I mean, thats just how you say it?
ahhh i see As Valve is a company then it doesn't quite sound as bad as if you used it for a person; as valve is collectively a group of people. Valve are bad doesn't sound as bad as: Kilvion are bad - that just sounds horrible. If your being picky then yes i suppose it should be Valve is bad but either one would be acceptable to use in conversation in the UK. Edit: Double Ninja'd
^^ This. Yeah you'll often here chavs and them kind speak like "I is a bad man". Its bad English. Its interesting to see how people who dont speak English as their mother tounge pick these things up though
A quick google search for "company names followed by plural or singular?" brought up a lot of opinions. ^^ Seems the general consent is that it's actually wrong, but that depending on the context it can be used because, as others said, Valve is a company consisting of a lot of people.
