Honestly I don't get why people moan about DRM measures put into games, if you have officially "purchased" the game, with proof of purchase, the DRM isn't an issue.

Devs have the right to at least make life harder for those that have zero interest in ever purchasing games when they can download them for free.

Its funny because I see it like this, DRM, only people that actually suffer are those that expect it to be free, so it can be cracked and downloaded.

And they'll claim to "never" pirate and that piracy doesn't harm anyone and all that, yet if you purchased it, then there's nothing to moan about.

If there is DRM it's more an issue for people that buy their games.
Look, for example, at the performance issues in Resident Village with DRM activated. They are also enough single player games with always-online-DRM (sucks big time on a Steam Deck if you travel). If you have internet at your current position or location it's not a big deal, but that'not always the case.
There is also that thing with number of activations for a game.
DRM only sucks for people that buy, the pirates don't give a shit. Maybe the have to wait a little while after release.
I buy, if possible, content without DRM. But if there is no available option, and if it bothers me, i have no problem to crack it and remove the drm.

Completely agree! DRM causes so many issues for compatibility since there is another layer of ‘unnecessary’ info being read, the games have a ‘harder’ time reading and just working as intended. There are a lot of cases where companies after a few months have just straight up removed drm from their games since the initial burst of sales is over. I believe Capcom has been one that has openly said it? GOG completely deserves a place at the pc store front table, and DRM free games should be more abundant than they are imo.

FO3/NV are better games much more real DLCs just old graphics but I did enjoy FO4 no doubt and both dlcs and of course the modding community for all these is insane. It wouldn't be downtown without huge FPS crash LOL Yeah they killed this series with greedster online 76 should have released 5 by now.

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

    i think only the red mario kart edition phat was v5
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:
    It's nice to not have to have a lot of physical things though, saves space
