Well, we have two options: the first is going to require that we kill you.

The second? Oh, it just requires that we cut off your arm.
That's the only answer I can think of. Push something absolutely atrocious out there so that when they hear our cries and scale it back to something that's merely monstrous, people swallow it.
That or someone at the top of the food chain is utterly batshit. Whatever the case, this is the reason my console game purchases outnumber my PC game purchases over 10:1. Some day, we will all look back on this era of PC gaming and lament it.

Yep. I have been unable to understand the company reasoning behind such systems.

So the crux of your explanation is that simply ceasing to publish PC games creates bad press.

PC games should just drop all DRM measures or go with Steamworks.

Don't get me started on Steam again, it's just as insiduous as other DRM 'solutions'.

I might resist more if I weren't a Valve game fan, but it's a pretty solid service.

Agree on the functionality complaints, disagree on the ownership bit.
