No, it doesn't "stop" piracy, but it's a move in the right direction as it protects the creators of intellectual property. When you're talking law, you can think of it in terms of totality — rather, the goal is to discourage, dissuade and/or mitigate the risk of theft (piracy).

Again, what's good for the developers —…

Jevans,

Well, it looks like you have it all figured out, so there's no point discussing it any further :)

Otapunk,

Bud, just a heads-up — IT IS STEALING.

Yeah... I'm guessing that since this system makes it incredibly easy to pirate software, most of its user-base is doing just that. Again, it's stories like this that turned me into an advocate for DRM and other assorted intellectual property controls. The developers pour a lot of creativity and resources into their…

And THIS is exactly why I'm a proponent for DRM and any other controls put in place to protect intellectual properties.

I like what I see and can't wait to get my hands on this game. I realize that it's becoming fashionable to express one's disdain for zombies in all-things popular media, but I just don't give a sh*t — I LOVE THEM!

LOL — the sound effects alone were worth the diversion from my studies. Who in the hell buys this crap?

Cool video, but what software are they using to create this? I'd like to know, because this is never mentioned in these articles.

If they're really releasing an SDK, I don't see why this franchise won't take off like anything Valve has released with Source SDK support (pretty much EVERYTHING).

I think this is exciting, especially when you consider that this is probably the only sandbox franchise that will allow this. Here's hoping that the SDK…

Casey Jones?

AWESOME!!!

Still, when I look at this, I have to think that this game WILL NOT look like this on current gen systems. I have had a suspicion that this game was developed to run on high-end hardware, but is capable of being scaled back to fit the restrictive specifications of current console systems. I would not be…

Pro-tip: It's "to," NOT "too," when you're referring to something that you can "relate to," rather than something you also do.

Hardly, it's tantamount to cherry-picking social issues in an otherwise ridiculous and arguably irrelevant context. If, however, you're unable to really add more of a rebuttal than what you offered, I think I'd be "mum" about one's ability to handle said topics :)

LOL, I have nothing but derision for some of these self-aggrandizing, pseudo-intellectual, pedantically written articles regarding video game... yes, VIDEO GAME sociology. Jesus, guys, lighten the hell up!
