I worry about what happens when support is discontinued for these 'authenticate via online server' games. I have the two Storm Eagle sea games and Bioshock 2, all of which require an online validation. i agree the lack of control and need for an internet connection sucks. Especially right now when i don't have a reliable connection at my current residence.

Welp, despite the negative waves of a certain woodworm, Operation Whoosh Crikey Wahey has been successfully completed. After two weeks of air attacks and a week of ground combat, Doctor Cox's Bazaar is back in Allied hands. Yay!

Compelling evidence suggests that you always lose.....regardless of which side you play! [:'(]

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (5/15/2012 11:29:11 PM)
And compelling evidence shows that YOU have silly hair and drink too much coffee![:'(]

Nikademus -> LOG! (5/15/2012 11:53:23 PM)
"Had" silly hair. After a nice summer bzzzzzzzzzzz I am streamlined. My walk is still silly as i am a charter member of the Ministry of Silly walks. and you can NEVER drink too much coffee!

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (5/16/2012 12:10:45 AM)
Except that you obviously can...[:'(]

Leo "Apollo11" I have absolutely no problem typing a code into an activation server once. ONCE. This garbage is not necessary for a non-MMO, but I think Blizzard would like this to BE an MMO. Just so dumb. To me, Steam is just another "always online" DRM. I went out and bought a PS3 so thast I could play Skyrim (being that Steam will just not work over my dialup connection).

bite your tongue nave. Starbucks is only drunk in Emergency situations. Otherwise it is pure local Seattle coffee goodness.......like the wonderful barristas outside the 14 Carrots cafe, or Cafe Vivace or Bauhaus. YUMMERS JITTERS!!!!!!

Nik, you are not usually on at this hour[:)]

Finishing up a turn for Joe. I will save Oz for future generations so that they can listen to AC/DC music!!!!

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (5/16/2012 11:04:43 AM)
Correct, for activation purposes. Also, some publishers (like Ubisoft[:@]) layer their own DRMs on top of Steam, so everything just goes out of the window there.

Darn... IMHO Matrix approach with serial numbers is the best! [:)] If some serials are compromised - they are "Black Listed" by installer and all is OK - especially since Matrix games have numerous updated and no cracker will ever try bothering with game that has 5-10-15-20 patches...

Terminus -> RE: THE THREAD!!! (5/16/2012 11:18:18 AM)
I think it's more a case of torrent heads not being prone to playing this sort of game. However, a few Matrix games (and a surprisingly large number of HPS titles) exist on torrent sites.

I seriously doubt that any of those games there can be used with Matrix patches/updates (i.e. the users of such hacked games can't update their versions)... [;)] Leo "Apollo11"

The DRM fiasco takes a lot from it; I'm currently giving it 70%, instead of the 80-85% it could have earned.
