Go start your own game company? Really? That's the only response? Cymbaline Send a noteboard - 08/06/2010 03:49:33 AM
If you're that upset about it, go start your own game company.


How about I not buy the game? Is that a permitted response?

Personally, I think it's a load of bullshit. Server-side authentication of any sort means that you're not buying the game, you're renting it. I do not go in for that. As such - and combined with the whole lack of LAN thing - I'll probably skip SC2. Oh well.

My only fear is that Diablo 3 will have the same crap. It's all but guaranteed. And it would hurt me far more to skip it. :(

Starcraft II won't have crazy DRM. Macharius - 28/05/2010 01:59:14 PM 861 Views
Could be worse. I'm still miffed about its release structure, though. I feel milked. Zalis - 28/05/2010 03:01:54 PM 530 Views
Still a load of shit. Wibble - 28/05/2010 06:39:46 PM 527 Views
I'm pretty anti-DRM, but one-time connection seems reasonable enough. Aemon - 28/05/2010 07:03:24 PM 466 Views
Don't get so excited, sheesh. Macharius - 28/05/2010 11:04:47 PM 535 Views

Even just a single authentication? Nate - 08/06/2010 05:00:38 AM 466 Views
Agreed. Aemon - 08/06/2010 05:56:20 PM 469 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 522 Views

I have to agree... the more restrictions and hassles they put on playing purchased games BlackAdder - 09/06/2010 05:37:40 AM 432 Views
Who doesn't have the internet these days? Nate - 09/06/2010 06:08:19 AM 468 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 487 Views
I think he was saying ... Nate - 10/06/2010 03:10:08 AM 438 Views
I agree entirely with you. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 04:37:07 AM 447 Views
Aha. Nate - 10/06/2010 04:57:14 AM 488 Views
Good point. Now why is my argument so terrible? BlackAdder - 10/06/2010 04:20:15 PM 474 Views
You act as though I need to fairly represent your post. Ghavrel - 10/06/2010 11:53:47 PM 445 Views
