| This would be so strange if it happens. Almost as though Sony would be admitting that they are unsure if they can get the sales they need on PS3 alone. I think their original multi-platform hinting meant that it would also come to PSP but you never know. |

This game was out in the stores for a week now. The first thing I did when I saw it was open up my cell phone too look up the DRM to decide if I should buy it.
This is hardcore DRM. Three installs only, non-revokable.
I'll pass. And to think, I would have purchased had it not had DRM.
Where did you read about this exactly? Not saying you're wrong but I haven't read anything about the DRM on this and I haven't found anything in my cursory searches. I found a couple of threads where people claim this but none of them provide any confirmed sources. One of these posts is a guy from NeoGAF who mentioned that he found this by searching "Dark Athena DRM" which when I did, brought up nothing but more speculation and no confirmation. If this is true, I'll skip the PC version but I'd like to know for sure. |

| This is the last kind of game I expected Blizzard to make but if anyone could do a new one right, it would be them. But yeah, they have to keep the political incorrectness or it just won't be the same. |

It's called getting the torrented version. That's what I do and I haven't had a problem with Securom ever.
Congratulations, thieves like you are part of the reason EA thinks they need crap like this in the first place. |

| BHG's last title was an Xbox Live Arcade game but yes, all their titles to date have been PC. I'm not sure if their next title was supposed to be cross-platform or not but I think it was. |

| I still find something very wrong with the fact that THQ is threatening to sell or close Big Huge Games (less than a year after buying them and before their game is even announced) but they're expanding KAOS, despite Frontlines being pretty much junk (especially on the PC) and as I understand it, not selling very well either. |

| Bloody brilliant. I love Relic games but they have the worst patch management I've ever seen. I own the retail game so I run it, login to Relic Online, am told there's a patch and it spends 25 minutes downloading it. After it exits to install it, it says that I'm actually 2 versions back and that another patch has to be installed first (because they can't make the patches update any version, even though they're byte-level patches.) Their solution? Run the game and login to Relic Onlien again which just repeats the same broken process. And there's no manual patch yet! Brilliant! |

Jeebus, they're fixing it. Can't you find something else to be outraged about for a while?
Didn't realize it was out of line to expect a paid product to actually function at release. My bad. |

99% of multiplatform games use 360 as lead SKU. The recent Gametrailers coverage used 360 footage, as indicated by the button prompts. When you're presenting a game to the press, you always use your lead SKU as that is the most polished.
OK so what you're saying is you have no idea beyond some anecdotal evidence what the lead SKU is? Just wanted to make sure since your statement made it seem as if you knew for sure. The last 2 major Doom 3 engine games (Prey & Quake 4) were both heavily shown on 360 in advance too but anyone who played those on 360 know it was definitely not the lead SKU.
You have a tendency to state theories as if they're fact, usually ones that aren't in favour of most games. I know you continue to try to find rationalization to pirate stuff rather than admit you just don't want to pay for your games but for the sake of everyone else, it would be nice if you base them on actual facts rather than conjecture that happens to suit your position. |

I'm really shocked. I knew THQ was having money problems but I thought they were in good shape (their licensed stuff was supposed to be bringing them in tons of revenue) and I had no idea they had so little cash left. Unlike Midway, they've actually made money a few times lately and they made some really good acquisitions (like Relic) but admittedly some really bad ones too (Stuntman, Juiced, starting Kaos Studios.) And unlike Midway, they were expanding like mad until recently whereas Midway was mostly stagnant. I did think they cut way too many potentially cool titles recently (like that unnamed air combat one that got the awesome trailer leaked) and yeah, it doesn't look like they've left themselves with very much.
This really isn't good for the industry. We need more publisher competition and the more that go under or get swallowed up, the less we'll see creative and unique titles come out. Can you imagine what someone like Activision Blizzard would do to Relic? <shudder> |

| Strangely, I was having constant TDR driver crashes with my 4850 under Vista x64 until the 9.1 drivers which have completely eliminated them. The 9 series has been a blessing because I was about ready to give up and dump this card. I guess everyone has their own experiences. For everyone a driver improves life for, a bunch of other people get screwed. I'll agree though that ATI's willingnes to even acknowledge, much less fix major issues like the one I had is abysmal. Despite dozens of threads complaining about the TDR issue, we didn't get so much as a single post from an official ATI rep. |

| The Steam version wasn't supposed to have SecuROM and didn't when it first came out and then recently, an update to the Steam edition "accidentally" put SecuROM back in. When forums went nuts, they patched it out again. How this happens by accident is beyond me. |
