Something I don't understand about Assassin's Creed 2 DRM complaints

Sheesh.  It's obvious.  They're angry because it's unreasonable - or at least if what I read is true about the DRM it is.  There is no reason a paying customer should be forced to lose progress on a game they bought because their internet connection drops (unless of course the game is online only, D'Oh).  That's just ridiculous.  If a game released with a bug that could regularly cause lost progress/saves I'd return it immediately and demand my money back.  Putting it on the box doesn't excuse it.  By that measure any unreasonable trading would be 'okay' so long as there was some upfront warning.

It doesn't work that way.  This is plain unreasonable and should be accepted as such.

The anger is also, obviously, because people want the game but aren't willing to accept the terms, which is also annoying.

I don't want to start an arguement or anything, but I'm amazed that you don't understand this, particularly as you often come across fairly heated about stuff on the boards that's unreasonable!

 

If its unreasonable, don't buy it. If you hate X service which has exclusive rights to the iPhone but still want an iPhone why would you get angry if the terms are deemed unreasonable (36 month contract or something). Just move on and not worry about it. Its unreasonable to expect that every game or service whether you intend to pay for them or not ought to come with terms and conditions which are acceptable to you. If the DRM sucks then let them rot in it.

Turnabout is fair play.

If you can't understand why some consumers complain when presented with contract terms that they find unreasonable, just move on and don't worry about it. Nobody is forcing you to participate in these threads, so just don't post. It's unreasonable for you to expect every thread to be on a subject which is acceptable to you.

Or are you posting here because you feel that this is a subject worthy of discussion and that there's more to this question than a simple decision on whether or not to participate? You're telling people not to discuss the matter, but simply to vote with their dollar and leave it at that. If we're only meant to vote with our dollars, why the hell does this forum even exist?
