Just curious.......PC gaming uses DRM standard. I mean, I can't give my copy of Starcraft to a friend because the game is tied to my computer.

PC gaming is the master race apparently......

So what's with the double standard?


Well, first of all, there is more piracy on PC.

Then, well, most pcs are connected to the internet right now, and people don't see reason to have a pc without internet, so always on is less of a hassle.

And finally, the steam sales.

Oh, and pc gamers are rich.

Hmm, piracy leads to more console sales...pirating a Xbox game means little if you don't have the console.

MS cracks down on any pirated console connecting to Live....basically you'd have to buy another one.

PC doesn't get bad hype that third world internet impacts its gaming, when Xbox is in the same league as it. Interesting.

With DRM, theoretically, MS can do steam sales of its own.

So DRM = rich people. Got it

No, DRM developped because of the piracy, and piracy is the best marketing for games.

The console and PC markets are too different, and well, gamers are proud of this difference.

Plus everyone I know here in belgium that does have a 360 bought the 360 because it was easier to crack.
