Drasken, long time sufferer of. . .whatever the fuck it is, has decided to join his kids in grade school. "I love my kids and I wanted to be with them more", he explains. "I let them sleep with me, too."
Drasken has already made progress in school, earning a gold star for capitalizing proper nouns and the beginning letter of sentences. His wife was so proud that it was promptly hung on the fridge next to the macaroni doodles.
"I'm really proud of him; his teachers have been tough, but he's top of the class in finger painting."
We here at The Regulators support Drasken in his venture and wish him the best of luck.
Here is why, for starters it requires you to be online for any game that you play. That means that if you do not have an internet connection active even your single player games will not work. I will not go into detail as to why this is bad, it should be obvious to anyone who plays games.
Secondly it is simply easier to pirate a copy or hack the DRM in order to play. When it becomes easier to deal with hackers than it is to deal with the company that made the game then something is very wrong with the game makers DRM system.
All in all it is that simplistic and that is what is so amazing about this problem. They knew it was a bad solution, anyone with half a brain knows it is a bad solution, yet they forced it on the public anyhow and it will only wind up costing the game makers money in the end, money they wont get from me, or other game players because it's easier to pirate the warez than it is to deal with the original author
In the efforts to control Piracy and profit margins the providers have basically shot themsevles in the foot, making it easier to turn to piracy for goods and services because the goods and services pirates offer are better than those of the original authors.
