March 25, 200916 yr I hope this thing fails, or else it will accelerate the game as a service rather than a game as a product transition and we will soon see no normal, online-free game products again. Hmm, maybe with my insistence of having the game as a product without dependence on outside server, I am just too old for gaming and should seek a different hobby? Um yeah, I think you missed your shot. Most things are tied to a server these days... Nope... only minority of the stuff released today is tied to the server... That is not true if you are only EA or Steam customer As great as it would be to have everything DRM-free, I don't see the industry going that way. At least not yet, Ubisoft is making a nice start, though. Dont count only PC gaming but gaming in general, you dont need online activation for most of the console and handheld games No you do not and considering that like half of the 360s are not online, I think that it's going to stay that way. At the moment this is solely a PC problem.

March 26, 200916 yr As a Obsid forum discussion grows longer, the probability of someone whining about DRM approaches 1. I seriously wonder about some of you sometimes. The article Wrath posted should really just be condensed to this: To give some idea of the kind of leap OnLive reckons it is delivering, I consulted one of the world's leading specialists in high-end video encoding, and his response to OnLive's claims included such gems as "Bulls***" and "Hahahahaha!"
March 26, 200916 yr yes it is badass DRM, but wth, if they make it for the same price as Quake Live, i'll go with it Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.

March 26, 200916 yr if i can't have game with manual and dvd in hand i ain't paying single dime for it I dont have problems with ad-supported games for free... Yeah those 3 page manuals are awesome and getting a game from Steam is more convenient to me than having to install from multiple DVDs. To each their own, I guess.

Not for me... i get my DVDs by post and install them sooner than to download it from any digital download and with EU steam prices which are 10+ EUR higher than boxed games, i am not gonna bother with it... and i dont buy **** games with no story without manuals anyway Good games usualy have good manuals aswell...
