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 1115 Views
Could be worse. I'm still miffed about its release structure, though. I feel milked. Zalis - 28/05/2010 03:01:54 PM 741 Views
Still a load of shit. Wibble - 28/05/2010 06:39:46 PM 764 Views
I'm pretty anti-DRM, but one-time connection seems reasonable enough. Aemon - 28/05/2010 07:03:24 PM 693 Views
Don't get so excited, sheesh. Macharius - 28/05/2010 11:04:47 PM 774 Views
I'm not excited. Wibble - 28/05/2010 11:18:40 PM 695 Views
Go start your own game company? Really? That's the only response? Cymbaline - 08/06/2010 03:49:33 AM 728 Views
Even just a single authentication? Nate - 08/06/2010 05:00:38 AM 693 Views
Agreed. Aemon - 08/06/2010 05:56:20 PM 678 Views
Will they? Wibble - 08/06/2010 06:50:01 PM 707 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 752 Views

I have to agree... the more restrictions and hassles they put on playing purchased games BlackAdder - 09/06/2010 05:37:40 AM 656 Views
Who doesn't have the internet these days? Nate - 09/06/2010 06:08:19 AM 696 Views
The majority of people, actually. BlackAdder - 09/06/2010 06:27:30 AM 716 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 704 Views
I think he was saying ... Nate - 10/06/2010 03:10:08 AM 661 Views
I agree entirely with you. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 04:37:07 AM 660 Views
Aha. Nate - 10/06/2010 04:57:14 AM 719 Views
Good point. Now why is my argument so terrible? BlackAdder - 10/06/2010 04:20:15 PM 694 Views
You act as though I need to fairly represent your post. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 11:53:47 PM 661 Views
