Go read up some of the DRM out there. No go read up on some of the methods companies have used to make it so you have to buy there product.
Read some of it good, guess what you want use your PC in the future to so much as type up essay you being needing an internet connection.
Your communication is becoming more and more incoherent such that I can't even work out what you meant by that sentence. Perhaps you can rewrite it using the normal conventions of written English?
Plus you know what I just realize none of this is hassle to any of his here we all have internet connections here so yeah I can say shut the hell up it isn't problem to any of us.
Well, you're good at making assumptions, as well as throwing politeness out the window - I'll give you that. In fact, a lot of the time I am making posts to this forum from a public computer, a computer which obviously is not the machine I have games installed on.
Does that make you revise your "realization" a bit?
And if you got laptop you at least plug it in every so often to the internet just to get OS updates, plus plugging in one cable isn't that hard.
Doing long multiplication isn't hard either, but I still consider it a hassle when I have to do it.
In case you didn't know, for many people, connecting to the internet is not simply a matter of connecting a plug to a computer. For starters, you need to have the required hardware, software and a reliable ISP for your internet connection to work. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have their parents take care of all that for them. I have helped some elderly people set up a simple ADSL connection using the supplied modem and install-CD etc. because they didn't know how to do it themselves. I'm not arguing those people are "gamers" of course but there are definitely cases where technologically literate people also have troubles with their hardware or ISPs or some such. I happen to be on a connection at the moment which (before it is soon fixed) has massive interference on the line between here and the exchange. This means internet speeds are slower than dial-up and reliability is worse than a 2-year old with a chainsaw. At the moment, anything I do that requires internet is a hassle.
It happens whenever someone comes in with the same stupid argument that has been beaten to death and already has solution too. The fact matter is you people just mad because things have changed now so it must be broken (which yes like little troll you say isn't the case at all even though I've seen dozens and dozens of times)
You need to generalise and label me so that you can attack me as being a troll. Well, calling people stupid because they don't agree with you is at least a tad harsh, for starters. Secondly, there is no solution to the fact that regularly requiring an internet connection is a hassle, other than your argument "Suck it up and connect to the internet once per month - it's not a hassle." That is not a solution in fact - all it is is you stating you don't believe it a problem, not the same as solving the problem.
Well guess what? PC games heading that way and the majority of us like it (Steam makes alot money and so do alot other D2D) so don't let the door hit you on your way out.
That's fine. I've nothing against Steam and other D2D distributors of video games becoming more popular. Your rhetoric about the door hitting me on the way out is pointless on me because I already use steam and would use it on other games if they were steam exclusive and I wanted them.
Even if from now on 99% of new PC games required a monthly internet connection to be established, I would still have gratitude for those devs who chose not to require such pointless schemes. If a game is good enough, I can live with its DRM. The thing is, whether you like it or not, requiring a monthly connection is a type of DRM that is at least a step up from requiring no internet connection at all, so the game with the online DRM would need to be better. Of course, if the game is good enough that I can get over the DRM, then it's a non issue. Civ5, judging by what I've seen so far, is a game that I'd be happy to accept some slightly invasive DRM in order to play.
O you don't want me to get started on the series requirements game developers have to make just so there game works on everyone of the billion combination of computer hardware and drivers out. Thats a hassle and just outright annoying, and that class really pisses me off.
Ok, I won't get you started. I probably like it better that way.
