Oh yes, the "anti-pirate" mechanic that actually allows pirates to play, and screws over legitimate owners of the game. I read about that on escapist magazine, what a *loving* joke. If there was ever proof that anti pirate systems never work, it's this. Stupid *loving* idea.

If people really wanted to stop piracy, it would be stopped easy. The thing is that there are just too many people who profit of piracy.

Piracy is easy to avoid.
Make good games.
Most people don't pirate good games.

I personally wouldn't consider illegally downloading a game that I like, or know I will like.
I'll only ever consider piracy when really bad games come out that intreague me, or when there's no other means to get the game.

The funny thing is, people HATE paying for DRM, and so DRM protected games suffer from piracy moreso.

people just don't like paying for things, take skil for example, if he could pirate hardware he would. People who pirate games normally tend to play most things, on the lowest settings, while crashing alot.

while DRM seems like an overkill step against pirating (since it wont stop the crackers anyway, mmmm crackers ) I must say that the DLC system that seems popular these days does motivate to purchase the real thing, at least a step in the right direction. For the *loving* steep prices they introduce I want me a shiny dvd case with colorful pictures. Theres no way i pay shitload for downloadable metabolic end product.

And what, pray tell, do you base that assumption on?

This is true.
DRM is *loving* horrible, and it makes me not buy games I would normally buy.
Battlefield Bad Company 2 takes the correct approach and rewards people who buy the game new (like meee!) as opposed to Trying to punish people who don't. This tends to only regard consoles, where the money is. PC games, where the actual fun is, tend to get the rewards regardless.

Also, it only costs 25 quid.
This is the first good value game I've ever seen in a long time, and it takes a good stance on the video games industry.
From EA? What is happening to the world?

After the initial cofuffle with the servers being as reliable as Fears labido, the game seems to have braced for epic.

It's a *loving* awesome game though, shame i'm away for the next two weeks and I can't play it. *love* it, i'll have to socialise n metabolic end product.

It's a pity, though.
I'd get silent hunter 5 (which suffers the same affliction) if it weren't for the DRM.
