Poll: Red Alert 3 and SecuROM

[Imitation Saccharin]

They only care about your money, if they manage not to receive it they do something about it, now if you keep buying their games but throwing hissy fights about it nothing will change.

No matter how silly paying 30 dollars a month is, the profit is simply too great for a company to ignore it. So if even a fraction of gamers played per-month fee MMOs, they'd still likely become the norm.

Going that route, DRM is not going away. Red Alert 3 could sell 3 copies and some gum, but the execs would likely chalk such things up to Red Alert's failure rather then DRM (thanks to Spore).

We had our chance as gamers to vote, and we failed. IMO time to fight other battles. And support the Devs.

I was going to buy it.

I'm now going to pirate it.

Fuck EA

Fuck DRM

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Well, buy it and crack it I suppose is the only way I could have my cake and eat it too.

Not liking the DRM crap does not, in any way, give you the right to pirate it. You want to make a statement? Don't buy the damn thing. Its a computer game. You can live without it.

I have no intention of paying for "the right to use a game", rather than the game itself. Bother that noise, as Yahtzee said (or rather, didn't say, but spel't.).

I will probably end up buying it, I just LOVE RA too much. I was planning to buy it before the DRM was announced for it, I'm not going to let the DRM stop me from having fun.

Besides, Frank Klepacki needs to get paid for his efforts in RA3.

Your first point is fanboyish and your second one is invalid.

Frankie is already getting payed for his workd on the dev team,
not buying the game would mean that in the near future EA would drop a possible sequel
from their line of shot releases.

Obviously another company would just buy Frankies work and let him make the game under that companies name....
win win situation if you ask me.

yeah, it was a bit fanboyish now that I look back on it.
I'd like to buy RA3, I think is is a fun game and I did enjoy the beta, but knowing me, I'll probably never get round to it, that's what happened with RA2.

Anyone else miss the times when EA wasn't as bad as they are now?
