This kind of thing is actually why I spend more time on console lately than PC games... Mass Effect worked great on the 360, so I guess that's where I'll leave it. I just wanted to check it out on the PC too, why not, I heard there would be some different releases in the future, and gameplay was different.
I also really wanted to check out Spore. I've been addicted to the Sim type games since the original SimCity with the friggin dark red card with the black boxes on it you had to match up to run the game. THAT was copy protection back in the day.
My wife and I like to game together, so I guess it'll just be more console and even less PC as this DRM crap keeps coming up.
I really thought the industry would have realized maybe there was something to all the things that came up re: Sony, but I guess they'll never get it.
It's bad enough I have to call Adobe to get Photoshop or Acrobat re-registered when I switch computers at work....
I don't want to have to call someone because I upgraded my system at home for a GAME.
I've never put a crack on a game in my life, and I've been buying games since 1990. This sort of crap will change my mind real quick.
I never even bought Half-Life 2 after I heard about Valve's system of distribution. Now I'm reconsidering a purchase of these.
Or maybe I'll just go with the flow... and start cracking.
