If they think they can ... Well, my life doesn't evolve around PC gaming. I can live without buying new PC games (Il-2 works perfectly, doesn't it?) but I doubt publishers can live for long without the money many many people used to spend on their products (and now abstain because of DRM). It'll take some time for the message to find its way into the upper echelons (and I wish it would travel faster because everyone should boycot such business policies, but then I'm such an idealist at times  ) but I hope all the bean counters who place their hopes on that particular system trip and fall over so hard they need a new nose to replace the crushed old one.
I've said my part ... And now we switch back to our regular program.  |
In the end its as simple as you care about it(DRM) whilst i don't.
You are willing to pass a great product if it has a shitty DRM, i am not.
That's the bottom line of our personal opinions
That said i am still not a customer who would buy a pay-per-month fee, but heck RoF didn't have a pay-per-month fee and neither is SoW
as far as we know so i personally don't see a problem.(my point of view) Having SecureRom , Constant Internet Connection with more requirements
have nothing to do with pay-per-month models or equivalent fantasies and i am totally fine with these kinda solutions, besides i don't really see buying a game as a life investment.
