I haven't had a problem with it personally (yet) so I can't really empathise but I know what it is and I know how wrong it is.

This is honestly one of the many reasons I'm staying clear of PC gaming. Three load limits on a game you paid 60 bucks for? Fuck that.

DRMs are bullshit. It would be like buying a dvd and getting limited views cause you may be able to show your friends when they come over. Who thinks its a good idea to punish the consumer needs to rethink their ideas of business. I too am not buying it, have yet to write them.
I wrote them and they tried to explain how the DRM is okay, and not as bad as you think it is. But yet it is.

If you're reading this please write to them on their DRM, let's see if we can get them to cave and remove the DRM. I've already written to them and have gotten 3 full responses, if we keep it well written perhaps something can happen. It's something I'd like to see happen since I was really hopeful in waiting for the PC version only for this to happen.

The game itself has no DRM and is actually 40 bucks or less on some sites (friend got it for 20 bucks) it's only the DLC that you're limited for some odd reason. The Disc version of it doesn't even have a serial number oddly enough.

This is all made more frustrating by many many reports that the DRM on the DLC interferes with the actual game and causes memory leaks, crashing, texture problems. This seriously has to stop DRM just ruins games.
