Not really, just tighter monitoring. I can lend my PC game to a buddy of mine, so long as he keeps the code. It's an incovenience of sorts, sure, but not a deal breaker.


Rights when things go digital go up in the air. Its like itunes. You are granted the right to use it on five computers but you dont own the product. PC gaming rights are protected by Valve. As long as they stand your gaming is intact. If they fall apart god help everyone who is dependent on PC gaming.

Perhaps, but right now, there's no reason to have such fears. DRM isn't as bad as many will tell you, it's more of a mighty inconvenience.


Always online is a problem for the world, as well certain parts of America. It shows that MS isnt as confident in their single player experience or are simply just out of touch. The problem MS faces is the used game issue, which we're getting three different stories about now since everyones back peddling.

PC gamers don't have fears because they learned to cope when Valve came and provided sales. They've learned to cope with their loss of ownership and Valves community makes them feel safe with the games that they've purchased. 

They learned to cope because you don't need Steam to enjoy PC gaming, and, you can play offline as well. For consolites, I understand, it's new ground, but, it's not as serious as many think it will be.


Oh trust me I used to game on the PC really hardcore when I was younger but I stopped, especially when Battlefield 1942 was big on PC. It went stagnant for a few years and then Valve blew up.
