Little by little 3rd parties will use their own forms of DRM. I said this a while back and people call me crazy and 1 user said Sony won't allow it haha


GTA V has DRM (storage of selfies) and no one complained.

Oh boy, great that the majority of Western 3rd party games doesn´t interest me.

3DS/Vita/WiiU will be my main platform in this gen.

The PS4 purchase is entirely dependent on how widespread this shit will be,

Disgusting. I hope they get hell for it and remove it.



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

@daredevil, GTA V has the adventage of being an extremely popular tittle, and wheter we like it or not, most people don't know (or even care) about what DRM means, and some companies will take adventage of that..unless we have a revolution like the SOPA deal, but since this only affects video games, I personally don't it happening (plus SOPA was a much bigger deal). We just have to look at the Steam userbase to see just how little DRM really matters to people (although Steam is not 100 percent DRM, but is the closest we have)

They wont because this allows them to use microtransactions.

From twitter,

This is just 2K trying to protect their micro-transaction space bucks from offline exploits The fact that gamers get screwed doesn’t matter

Well, then, it's time to complain to 2K over and over until it's sorted and not buy or even play any of their games until they fix it. Companies are just too stupid sometimes.

Anyone use Twitter want to spam them until they change their mind?

I came to know this news from twitter.

Their Twitter as in they told people? If so, stupider than I thought.

 

I'm reluctant to purchase any 2K game ever now, I enjoyed Borderlands 2. So much for future games.



Hmm, pie.

I am steam and origin user. I understand what you said. But this is really a disgusting trend that I dont like and cant deny this is the future.

Good thing me and my bro haven't purchased this yet. Looks like we won't be doing so, ever.
