...and devs wonder why retail sales are down. What happened to the good old offline cd checks and no activations days? When pc games would run just fine on stock machines? Why do they have to integrate Games for Windows live? Its not supported in my country, so I wouldnt be allowed to even save my games? What the hell. The only drm I like is Securom cd keys with no activations or atleast refunds (uninstalling). My countrys bandwidth starved so I hate steam and digital distribution or anything else that requires a constant/ fast/ unlimited or high data cap connection. Prob aint a big deal for you guys but in thirdworld countries drm is a big no no.
