There are certain types of games that I do enjoy pulling out every once and a while to play again. The Civilization games I tend to pull out every now and again... self-made scenarios or just random games. It's fun to conquer the world every once and a while. 
(Note: I doubt anything doing with the Civilization franchise would go belly-up any time soon. It's just the type of game that I often go back to a couple times)
(Note: I doubt anything doing with the Civilization franchise would go belly-up any time soon. It's just the type of game that I often go back to a couple times)It is interesting that my main tendency in that respect is "Master of Olympus" which I think of as a mix between Civilization and Sim City (the early stuff).
The idea that I paid full, ownership price for a game, and that I might not be able to enjoy that game on my own terms, or at all if something happens to the company/host... well that is off putting.
I am glad I am not the only one.

I don't think these companies realize they're encouraging piracy.

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

There is only one reason I can see. To destroy PC Gaming

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

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

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.
