Majek Posted August 18, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted August 18, 2011 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majek Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Except the dozens that went and cancelled their preorders immediately. xD 1.13 killed off Ja2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted August 18, 2011 Share 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted August 18, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hassat Hunter Posted August 18, 2011 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted August 18, 2011 Share 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?
