I know, especially considering that game isn't supposed to be out for PC yet.sunami88 said:
Agreed. Any kind of DRM that doesn't affect honest customers is worth points in my book.LTK_70 said:
That confirms it then. Though I have found out that for emulators that incorporate a game genie cheat system, you can put it back into the game.saikanoto said:
This is the kind 0f protection that promotes piracy.
I didn't want to get the game, now i want to see how well they programmed the bug in.
Hell now i want to pirate final fantasy just to see the chocobos
and i hate final fantasy.
It's like the type of "prank" That instead of pissing people off, back fires, and people just start asking to be pranked to experience it.
Instead every pirated game should rick roll you. that would end piracy. That would end piracy so hard.

Very good, the best part is this creative DRM will probably be enough to convince many not to bother trying downloading it and just buy it legit.
See, although it is just a matter of time before a pro-crack is made of the game but people will still never be 100% sure if this is a "true" crack or the "gimped" version so I suspect many would not want to waste their time downloading a version illegally, playing through it only to discover that it is unbeatable.
It is certainly an ingenious way to convince people to buy the legit version.

That is pretty cool. But as creative DRM goes, nothing will beat Earthbound, which let you play to the end of the game before corrupting your save file before the final boss and rendering it unbeatable.
While I quite like Eidos's (and especially SE's) sense of humour in these proceedings, how does this actually work though? Is it going to similarly punish any players who refuse to jump through all those on-line activation hoops? And, as others have stated, it's only a temporary setback to the unstoppable force of warez. I hope added value for genuine consumers, rather than pranking pirates wins out as the industry's method of prevention.
Regardless, I now eagerly await the chocobo attack video on youtube.

It's being released on Steam as well, if that makes a difference with the DRM issue to you. I know I refused to touch Mass Effect PC until it was released on Steam.paketep said:
Does anybody remember XIII? I'm sure you will. XIII had a similar copy protection. Halfway through the game there was a level in which you had to eliminate all enemies - and the last one dropped that precious keycard that would allow you to advance to the next level.
But once you had killed the last enemy the keycard would not drop but a message would be shown to you telling you that the developers think that you really like the game because you've played that far and you'd now have to buy the game.
A really creative solution in XIII. But it really didn't help much, it took the "scene" 2 days of fixing up a new crack - too bad that's what will probably happen to Batman:AA too.
It's an amazing game and well worth its money. Though I wouldn't pay 70? for it. Got it for 45? as a UK import
*wheee*

"I say, as an impartial, unbiased personage, what if he can't glide if someone pirates the game? HAHAHAHA it would be put some smiles on people's faces......and teach him a lesson."Sexual Harassment Panda said:
