To be fair, Obama wasn't alive and in command of American for 6 thousand years either. But I understand your point ;) And yes, I agree with the worker problem. It's rather annoying.

I agree, not really much else to add.

I think it's a case of you clearly not understanding my explanation, since we're going to subjectively determine who is "clearly understanding" of anything.

They allow no simultaneous logins (GameTap may still allow 2, but none allow "unlimited" I should say) is the main difference. Every form of DRM on that list (except "No DRM" and, unless there's a small case I can't think of right now, the Registry-based DRMs, but they tend to be attached to...

Have you tried Steam's customer service? Or is there a particular reason why you're trying to resolve a technical issue on an unrelated message board? EDIT: Also let us know how long the download actually takes.

Has no one on this message board played TESIV: Oblivion?

I'm sorry but that's ridiculous. YES, if a mod uses DLC, you HAVE to have it. If a mod uses an expansion pack, you HAVE to have it. This has always been the same with anything. "Dependencies." Why is this even a question? Is your complaint "Modders can't hand out paid DLC for free in the form of...

You're probably right, I didn't really consider it that way. I guess I'm so used to one following the other. I'm not 100% sure where "CD-Key only" would fall. To be honest, I can't really think of any games that use a CD-key without a CD-check. I'd probably put it under "No DRM" if you don't...

I think the problem is that in Civ IV, mods tend to be mutually exclusive, so most people aren't seeing how you can have "DLC" and "mods" active at the same time without the latter supporting the former. However, in many "highly moddable" games, they are not mutually exclusive. Instead, it is...

I'd like to believe I'm pretty well-versed in many of the DRM methods because I tend to rely on filesharing when I don't have a lot of money or when I'm not sure about a title and it doesn't have a demo (and in both cases, when I do have the money and I feel the software is worth paying for, I...

Yes, but they can't scrap it, since it's part of the engine. I dare you to start a software development firm, build a game for 5 years, and then 4 months before it is scheduled to be release, tell your investors that you're scrapping middleware that you've licensed (after convincing them that...

Not that I'm applying it at all to the current situation (being that I'm a big supporter of Steam and I can see why people don't want it, though I think their reasons for not liking it are flaky) but in the (in)famous Episode 3, it was rather difficult to take Anakin seriously when he said "From...

DE's and DLC's haven't really interfered with modding before. Modders, for the most part, target the largest/most likely group. They tend to ignore DLC altogether, since it doesn't change the core components of a game. This is another reason why I'm not a big fan of DLC. Give me full-featured...

I don't recall making an argument or a comparison. I believe I made a statement of fact for clarification, so quit being so argumentative and trying to pick a fight. It doesn't make you look witty or intelligent, it makes you look obnoxious.

I apologize for not being one-dimensional.
