Whew. That makes much more sense. I’m not against DRM per se, but if I can buy it through GoG I will. They’ll never completely stop pirates, but I’m cool with slowing them down and/or discouraging them. I’ve only done it one time, and I used it as a demo, and later bought the game. I wish demos were still a thing.

Wait, so I can only install one of these games on one system? If I log in to my Steam account at a gaming cafe or a friend’s house it won’t work? What if I change my hardware? Most software tied to a machine is done with the mobo (i.e. Windows), so if I upgrade my mobo, I can’t access that game any more? That is…

What a scumbag. We should have him in next years’s All Star Game.

You can’t be serious, right? I just built a rig that will blow away any Mac on the market (aside from Mac Pro) for less than $1000. Then, in a couple years, I can upgrade that rig for a few hundred dollars and still be able to beat a brand new Mac.

My wife is a elementary school teacher and all of the kids play games, boys and girls. CoD, Minecraft, Halo, sports games, and WoW seem to be the favorites. They wear shirts and hoodies with gaming stuff on them and talk about games all the time. It’s great to see that it isn’t the stigma it used to be even when I was…

There’s nothing stopping me from ripping a CD or DVD or Blu Ray though, which would be just as easy to prevent due to the need of a computer to do so.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up snagging Life is Strange and a few other games that I’ve been wanting. I read some of the reviews and it seems like Firewatch is more walking simulator than the more open world exploration game I thought it was going to be. I’ll probably wait for another sale to pick it up.

I realize that, the sale lasts until the 12th I think, so I’ve got some time.

I’m torn between nabbing this and Life is Strange during the current Steam sale. Anyone wanna sell me on either?

At this point, all we have to go on is subjective until we figure out how to measure the affect piracy has, or does not have, and if the DRM is the culprit in some games underperforming. I’m not saying the mob mentality is a good thing here, it almost never is, but that all it takes is a consensus to come to a…

There might not be any conclusive evidence that DRM is causing performance issues, but since when has anyone needed significant evidence to make a decision? All it takes is the perception, or the collective agreement, that DRM is causing a performance slow down and you get enough people complaining about it, and it…

PC Master Race. Bad ports are somehow still happening even with the consoles having x86 architecture. Good thing we get things like TRRTR, Homeworld, MOBAs, etc.

$40 is incredibly fair, who said otherwise? Why stack at $43 when I can wait for one at $40 or even $35?

Yeah, but at this price it isn’t worth it. I actually thought I bought one last time I saw it at $40, but I ended up giving it to my cousin as a ‘welcome to the current gen” gift.

I just renewed yesterday, dang!

You do realize that SC is to South Korea as the NFL (or maybe the MLB) is to the USA, right? Match fixing is tantamount to stealing, which is why it’s a crime, doesn’t matter what competition.

I fell like owning the Blazers is not what Paul Allen is most known for, having been involved in the creation of Windows and all.

No. Ever see a big show late on a Friday? People tend to be asleep from a long work week or out doing stuff. Sunday night is the biggest TV night of the week, followed by M-Th in some order.

I’m looking forward to jumping into the beta tonight. Xbone owners, what are your thoughts so far?

Well, TBH, I used the PS+ code right away, mine came with a Sony music card and some other card (release console). Those other two were the ones that had expired.
