Jediphile Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 However, I'm not particularly inclined to believe that if either you or I or both of us plus Gorth and Tigranes and so on don't buy the game that Bioware is really going to care much or attach any sigificance to it. They will probably just chalk to up to the fact that no one buys pc games anymore and not even bother porting their next release to pc at all. The four of us? Probably not. However, the question is whether there is reason to think your concerns on the matter are unique to us among potential customers in general. Personally, I don't see why these concerns would not apply just as well to most other potential customers as they do to us, in which case Bioware could find Mass Effect selling very poorly on the pc... And there is a market for games on the pc. Visit my KotOR blog at Deadly Forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadly_Nightshade Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I might have considered buying it, but knowing the level of authentication Bioware will put me through and the level of distrust and suspicion that naturally comes with it, I'm very unlikely to buy and play it now. Exactly. I would rather wait and spend my money on something, the Sins of the Solar Empire expansion or, hopefully, S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Clear Sky for example, that will not have the headache that is overused, unwarranted copy protection. If the game is available on Steam without the hassle, maybe - but unless I can get a legal copy without the bull**** I'm unlikely to buy, and play, the game. I mean, I find CD/DVD-checks annoying and wish that more companies would put out no-cd patches once their games reach a certain age - too think that I would willingly buy into this god awful, half arsed system when there are other, less annoying, games on the market -that are equally good- is ludicrous. Most people don't play 15 year old games. Heck, most people couldn't figure out how to run a game older than 5 on a new OS. It's a small minority that reaches that far back for their entertainment.

Gorth Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 It looks that the original topic was abandoned a while ago.
