Majek Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Region-locking plan UPDATE We?re aware of some discussion regarding the planned region-locking of boxed PC versions of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and after careful review we have decided not to implement this in the UK. Please note, this plan only related to PC boxed games, and not digital or console editions. http://forums.eidosgames.com/showpost.php?...p;postcount=778 Well ... Malcador so how hard are you laughing now? :D Edited August 18, 2011 by Majek 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Malcador Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Oh expected as much by the end of the week at latest, but seeing the fuss was amusing. Now I guess they'll be praising SE/Eidos for being so awesome and listening to their customers Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Majek Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Except the dozens that went and cancelled their preorders immediately. xD 1.13 killed off Ja2.

Malcador Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) http://www.dsogaming.com/news/deus-ex-huma...-is-still-safe/ Heh.

Lexx Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Damn pc piracy is ruining the industry. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Morgoth Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Region locks is the new DRM. Rain makes everything better.
Lexx Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I have my doubts about this being more effective than Steam as DRM. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
Morgoth Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 As we all know, DRM leads to more piracy. Reagion locks leads to the death of cdkeysellers, thus increasing piracy. Thus, Region lock = teh new DRM. It's very logical. Rain makes everything better.

I'm fairly bit annoyed right now I think I'll get my copy from intkeys.com just to say screw you square enix.
Drowsy Emperor Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Lol they really dropped the ball on this one didn't they. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
Morgoth Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I think I'll get my copy from intkeys.com just to say screw you square enix. Is intkeys reliable/legal? Because if they get boxed Russian versions you still can't use the keys on your account. Rain makes everything better.
Hassat Hunter Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Damn pc piracy is ruining the industry. Heh. Despite the obvious lie, it's sad to see so few PC titles as PC-only gamer (or Elitist as some would call me). Hopefully changes, though doubtful ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created. At least top 5.

Guest Slinky Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 No idea is intkeys legal or not, seems to me it's somewhere between. But that's a good point, they don't say from what version they take the key.. I think I'll drop them a e-mail about it.
Nepenthe Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Lol they really dropped the ball on this one didn't they. With a resounding thunk. I can only assume people from Amazon getting on the horn and giving them a piece of their mind. Of course, their whole contingent is now sold out, again, and probably at a significantly higher price than what people like me would've paid for it. I won't make idiotic proclamations like "I'll never buy another game from them", but I won't forget... You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

Lexx Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah, we posted about that already in here. "only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."
WorstUsernameEver Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah, we posted about that already in here. Blah, blah, blah, no one cares when anyone else but me posts links.

But that's a good point, they don't say from what version they take the key.. I think I'll drop them a e-mail about it. I got an answer and he said "Latvian keys". So that should work theoretically. Latvia is an EU country, I think... Rain makes everything better.
Purkake Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Sounds like someone was looking for the most obscure EU country off a list Latvia is in EU and an actual country, though.
