And even if they have a limit, pirating Dragon Age is, what, 8 gigabytes of data you're downloading? There is no way that you're going to come anywhere near that amount with a constant internet connection.


... that people without the internet shouldn't be punished by games that require them to do an online authentication before they can play the single player game.

My argument was that the percentage of gamers who have a computer good enough to play modern games but no functional internet whatsoever, no matter how low quality, is a small number.

Starcraft II won't have crazy DRM. Macharius - 28/05/2010 01:59:14 PM 1092 Views
Could be worse. I'm still miffed about its release structure, though. I feel milked. Zalis - 28/05/2010 03:01:54 PM 724 Views
Still a load of shit. Wibble - 28/05/2010 06:39:46 PM 748 Views
I'm pretty anti-DRM, but one-time connection seems reasonable enough. Aemon - 28/05/2010 07:03:24 PM 679 Views
Don't get so excited, sheesh. Macharius - 28/05/2010 11:04:47 PM 749 Views
I'm not excited. Wibble - 28/05/2010 11:18:40 PM 679 Views
Go start your own game company? Really? That's the only response? Cymbaline - 08/06/2010 03:49:33 AM 708 Views
Even just a single authentication? Nate - 08/06/2010 05:00:38 AM 676 Views
Agreed. Aemon - 08/06/2010 05:56:20 PM 663 Views
Will they? Wibble - 08/06/2010 06:50:01 PM 688 Views

Your posts are like the lovechild of a video game fanboy and a 9/11 conspiracy theorist. Ghavrel - 09/06/2010 03:05:34 AM 732 Views

I have to agree... the more restrictions and hassles they put on playing purchased games BlackAdder - 09/06/2010 05:37:40 AM 631 Views
Who doesn't have the internet these days? Nate - 09/06/2010 06:08:19 AM 682 Views

That's just a terrible argument. If they have no Internet, they can't illegally download games. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 02:18:34 AM 692 Views
I think he was saying ... Nate - 10/06/2010 03:10:08 AM 645 Views
I agree entirely with you. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 04:37:07 AM 646 Views
Aha. Nate - 10/06/2010 04:57:14 AM 700 Views
Good point. Now why is my argument so terrible? BlackAdder - 10/06/2010 04:20:15 PM 674 Views
You act as though I need to fairly represent your post. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 11:53:47 PM 645 Views
