Thought this was very good when I saw it, not mine but at least it does seem to match what most people on the 2K forums are feeling as well. In fact it seems a lot of people are wanting a crack to be released as soon as possible for their own legitimately purchased titles.

I agree to a certain extent, why include activation, and then require to have the DVD in the drive all the time? Even owners of the game purchased through Steam, the service which provided you have a net connection, doesn’t require to have the media, and there is no restriction on how many PCs host the content. Seems to be a wrong thing to do, for me anyway.

Actually the game itself is fine. Just the protection for it has cost the publishers credibility and in today’s already fickle market where it appears there are fewer and fewer decent PC games, it could make things worse. The consoles really have a lot going for them now in terms of games, and due to certain companies choices like Microsoft’s engineering of the DirectX API, among others, we will never see the likes of Guitar Hero on PC.

Some would argue that’s a good thing, (Guitar Hero may not be their thing) I say no. As it stands give us all the good games we can have on PC. I would love Buzz to be on PC but it never will despite the fact that the controllers for it are USB and therefore no real extra cost would be incurred in porting it across.

There we are campers, the rant for the day. Stay tuned later on for further developments from the week’s fun and frolics!!
