now its our turn to speak with our wallets and support this kind of practice. I was thinking of buying this game and now I'm even closer to just dropping the 50 for it on Steam.
I bought the game after some time but didnt load it for a while it looked good but once i loaded it wow issues with the program it ran slow and choppy hope this patch fixes some of those issue glad they trust us who bought a real copy .. they should have added a code to remove the drm out earlier when you reg. the product at that time they got your info and then the could unlock it for you.. but well its nice to be trusted again.....about time
It this industry, everything is always claimed to be going as planned all along unless they are suing someone.
The guy probably got forced into including DRM for some dumb corporate reason...thus he "changed his mind" so that the game had DRM at launch, and it did nothing but mess with the legitimate users of course...so his idiot bosses are letting him have his way, so long as he says that it was the plan all along.
I sure hope this catches on...it looks like the new nintendo will be years out of date at launch (in PC terms), the next xbox is anyone's guess, but it probably won't be as powerful as a gaming PC, and the PS4 could have tits and grant wishes...and I still wouldn't give sony a dime...looks like there is a chance that the PC might be a viable option.
