Magister Lajciak Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 On a side note, Bethesda isn't using DRM in Fallout 3. They are using the same copy protection that is in Oblivion. A simple DVD check. This means I will be buying Fallout 3. Yeah, I might pick up a copy as well - if only to show that games with lesser amounts of DRM will sell. Wait. So you would rather pay for and purchase a terrible game with less annoying DRM than a really good game with super annoying DRM? Isn't that a bit like choosing what TV shows to watch based on the content of the ads rather than the quality of the show? Actually, I would not purchase a terrible game at all even with FDRM. Nor would I purchase a game with DDRM regardless of how good it was in other aspects. I would only purchase a good game without DDRM.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

I have heard some pretty good things about FO3.
alanschu Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Why? I have heard some pretty good things about FO3. You also aren't buying it just because it only has a DRM model you support.
Nick_i_am Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Who the crap would buy a computer game they didn't like just because it had a DRM model they support? Man, I don't want to think about what kind of tool that would take. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
alanschu Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I have at times thought about buying a game from a company I liked that was making a different game I wanted, but then realized that was le crazy.
Llyranor Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Man, remember when we played Combat Mission? That DRM was kind of silly too, though it wasn't particularly draconian. Install on 2 computers, uninstall from one to install onto a 3rd, and so on. Though you had to be connected to actually do that, but the company was pretty lenient in terms of allowing extra installs, given the proper excuse. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
taks Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Isn't that a bit like choosing what TV shows to watch based on the content of the ads rather than the quality of the show? what, do you mean that you don't do this??? taks comrade taks... just because.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Who the crap would buy a computer game they didn't like just because it had a DRM model they support? I bought Sins of a Solar Empire partly because of the no-DRM strategy StarDock uses, and I am generally more likely to buy a game if it has little-or-no DRM. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Killian Kalthorne Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Well, that eliminates FO3 then. Eh? Fallout 3 looks damn good. "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
