@fyrestorm: Either man up and pay for a legit copy of the game or don't play. It's spoiled little pricks like you that cause DRM headaches for the rest of the honest gaming public.
And no, I don't believe for a minute that you were going to pay for the game. You probably don't even have a job.
Your point is null due to your assumptions. I WANTED to buy this until I heard the news. I also get paid quite handsomely, thanks. Good childish behavior though. Bravo. I am of the honest gaming public, I own plenty of games that are legitimately bought from digital distribution/retail, and I think I represent a good voice of a majority of PC gamers who have been playing for years. If a company decides to remove key tried and true client/server technologies from their game, they deserve to be punished by their audience for not providing. If they announce they implement dedicated servers later on? Watch the game sales spike. Maybe thats the whole point/market strategy (but I doubt they'll do it)
DRM is a joke, scene releases come out quick and ready to play.
No reason for me to buy any game that purposely diminishes online gaming quality, period. This trend to remove dedicated server support from games is a horrible move, and a majority of gamers would gladly accept a delay in release to have the game full featured. 2K just screwed over anyone who wanted this for multiplayer purposes by accepting pre-orders before announcing this.
tl;dr version: casual gamers make me cryThis comment was edited on Jan 29, 2010, 11:36.
