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.

So, anyone who currently hasn't paid for PS+ or XBL can't even play the game they bought? Why is this not getting more stick?


No. I follow many gaming related people at twitter. I came to know this news from jeremy conrad (former ign editor).

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.

That's very very very minor DRM. Also, a large percentage of the playerbase I believe, certainly me, couldn't care less about the camera in game

Yeah, it's like 0.01% of the game, this is literally like 95% of the game, I'm dead serious.

The reason I mentioned this because game developers are making us sued to these DRM slowly. They have taken the indirect approach. I dont like to be backstabbed.

I'm okay with minor things like that where its purpose is for you to share content with friends. Just so long as it doesn't grow any larger like it clearly has here

This is the problem with these "persistent/shared world shooters" like Destiny and the Division. You can basically play them like a single player game, but they are all online only.

BTW dentiny will function even if you dont have internet connection. At gametrailers (E3 video interview) bungie staff confirmed it. But division is complete MMO. I dont have problem with always online because I am always online. But I want to own it and if the internet is out I wont be able to play it.

Are you sure? Well that's how I will probably be playing it then if my friend doesn't get his PS4 by then. I mostly don't like online games, but I agree, that sense that you don't really own a game is a real issue

I don't mean to criticise Microsoft in particular, but I bought Halo 2 for PC last year and couldn't play it because the authorisation servers didn't really work or something.... (I kind of then had to pirate a code that worked for some reason) The same thing is going to happen with many of these games down the road, especially as they will want to sell them to you multiple times so you can play them on different devices
