I don't think these companies realize they're encouraging piracy. Kronin al'Sulc Send a noteboard - 19/02/2010 06:11:51 PM
In what way is this going to stop people from playing illegally? These guys are making it easier to pirate a game than to actually buy it and play it; this is just absolutely ridiculous.

P.S. Now I get the comic at the link
At last, I have an apostrophe!

That doesn't make any sense. lord-of-shadow - 19/02/2010 10:53:50 PM 777 Views

So the crux of your explanation is that simply ceasing to publish PC games creates bad press. lord-of-shadow - 20/02/2010 09:47:36 PM 730 Views
Well, we have two options: the first is going to require that we kill you. Cymbaline - 23/02/2010 11:11:28 PM 794 Views
PC games should just drop all DRM measures or go with Steamworks. Zalis - 19/02/2010 08:34:44 PM 853 Views
Don't get me started on Steam again, it's just as insiduous as other DRM 'solutions'. Wibble - 19/02/2010 10:37:00 PM 768 Views
I might resist more if I weren't a Valve game fan, but it's a pretty solid service. Zalis - 20/02/2010 02:59:40 AM 738 Views

Agree on the functionality complaints, disagree on the ownership bit. Aemon - 23/02/2010 11:40:06 PM 731 Views
Is that really how you play games? Camilla - 24/02/2010 10:54:42 PM 782 Views

How boring. jh - 25/02/2010 07:32:19 AM 732 Views

It will kill PC gaming. Cymbaline - 25/02/2010 12:06:12 AM 740 Views
