There are two names who stick out with me when I think of actors in games.. not anyone you would have ever heard of. The first was David Warner (Jon Irenicus in Baldurs Gate II) The second was Kane from Command & Conquer. You know what he was?
He was a programmer or some other worker bee that made the game.
Get a clue actors, you do not have the monopoly on your craft.
Exactly. The problem right now is that the content companies want to have their cake and eat it too. They want to have DRM and restrict how you use the content, which is esentially selling you a license for the content. But they treat CD's, DVD's, software as if they are physically selling you the product.
If you want to just sell me a license, then you have to have a system in place where you can replace the content during the terms of the license. Right now if you buy a CD and ask the content companies to replace that CD when it gets damaged, they will not replace it.
