The problem is that DRM mostly affects the users least likely to pirate games. And pirates just download a crack that bypasses it all anyway. I've never understood why publishers like to piss off the few people still buying their games.
Pretty much, yah. Being an overly honest person, I'd be tempted to buy a game like this only if there was a pirated version available to bypass the DRM. In this case, I won't even consider buying the game until they remove this kind of DRM. I have no desire to pirate it either. This kind of DRM is an insult to a person like myself who buys all the games he plays. |

executive meddling, the same thing that ruins every other media. detached corporate "management" bureaucrats act on the behalf of completely clueless investors who don't know shit about what they've sunk money into, aside from demanding "do whatever it takes to keep the cattle from stealing!!"
it's not like one or even a handful of people make this decision. corporate bureaucracy has resulted in a long chain of highly paid known-nothings trying to pass responsibility to someone else. nothing gets done and horrible decisions are made.
christ, i don't miss that world. |

| I think it's a combination of ignorance and apathy. The general populace doesn't really feel passionately about anything. They don't have strong principles or discipline so they really couldn't care less what kind of DRM a game has. I'm sure there are also many who don't even know what DRM is. |

I really don't understand how EA and Ubisoft can be this stupid...
Or am I totally wrong and it's really the population that's that stupid?
I don't know. A quick glance at the weekly top 10 lists on sites like steampowered, direct2drive, impulsedriven, and gamersgate all show titles like C&C4, ASS Creed 2, and Silent Hunter 5 high on the list.
I don't know about stupid - it could be blissful ignorance or an unhealthy degree of apathy. |

Heck look at all the stupid props in CA that often pass (i.e. all you gotta do is put something that its for the children or environment in title and people go nuts to vote for it even if it doesn't have anything to do with those). |

I'm so looking forward to this game! Oh wait, I'm not thanks to EA's draconian DRM. Yet another lost sale.

Pure stupidity? I agree.
Whats hilarious to me is how many years in a row thier sports games are purchased, even when the latest year sporrts games have fewer features than the year before. |

From the article that Dev posted:
"EA have previously shut down the multiplayer servers for 78 of their games, sometimes barely more than a year after release. On Tuesday, they shut down all servers for PC games Mercenaries 2 and Lord of the Rings: Conquest, which only came out last year. Naturally we contacted EA to ask how long they intended to keep the servers for C&C 4 online, but have received no response."
Why the hell would anybody buy one of their games? |

I miss the days where you can just blow the dust off a cartridge, put it on TV Channel3, flick a switch, and play. Now you need to have surveillance cameras and a degree in a lawfirm and a stolen identity to be able to play dumbed down re-hashed SHIT. god it's an awful time to be alive to play games today, after the innocence and simplicity of 80's gaming.

Innovative? What exactly is innovative about C&C? It's been the exact same game for 15 odd years. Actually, C&C4 is drastically different from previous C&C titles: classes, no buildings (except for the defensive class), no resource collection.
Different does not mean better, though.
Wow, so something EA said was actually TRUE? Holy shit...
I stand corrected.
