For some the bulletin board is the game.


Until the DRM is gone, it's the only game in town worth playing... Thanks for your participation!

RE: Gettysburg DRM to go bye bye!


And back to the thread topic, is the DRM going to be removed or not?

If so, when?

If not, why was this announcement posted to this forum?

Why does the DRM matter if it's going to be removed?


What DRM? There is no DRM in the forum game Chris Merchant and I are talking about (don't confuse our joke with the actual game that has DRM).

No kidding, do you think that the folks that read this forum are total idiots?



No, I think most everyone read the context and didn't miss our point that "THE GAME" to play IS really THE FORUM itself (you even quoted the pros and cons of playing it), NOT that other publisher's game. Those who have no problem with DRM have it or will buy it. Those who have a problem with it are already smart enough to know that the DRM is still installed and not to hold their breath on that changing.

I also think that most everyone saw your issues regarding this thread had already been addressed to Erik's satisfaction.

Were that the case, it would be "Kind of sad really....", but your comment is, nonetheless, off-topic.

A member of the forum posted news that the DRM was being removed from a game that he enjoys playing:

Gettysburg DRM to go bye bye!

Huzzah?

Well, maybe, someday.

Yes.

When? - On the second Tuesday of next week. (any correlation to Wimpy's Hamburger Repayment Schedule is entirely coincidental, and very few hamburgers were harmed much, in the making of this commercial)

Why post here? - The post was made because it was step #32 of the Global Domination Through DRM Conspiracy Checklist (aka: the GDTDCC). The OP was just following orders. (Note: If you have a problem with step #32, you might want to shut off your internet connection, because you're REALLY not going to like it if they have to use Option B of Step #69. The good news is that the step may not make you a loser, it will make you looser!) You will be assimilated! By Nurse Ratchett, who is on their side! Resistance is Futile.

Now take two of these pills and repeat the mantra... "we all love drm, we all love drm, drm loves us, drm loves us."
