If they're so concerned about DRM they should just use Steam and be done with it. Most people would be fine with that. Some people aren't going to be happy, but better a small, vocal minority than pissing off EVERYONE.

Seconded.
Srsly.

You do realize that Steam DRM is laughably easy to crack? I mean damn, even basic SecuROM provides more protection.

Yeah, but nobody really cares.

Oddly enough, you missed Call of Pripyat which was one of the most stable games I've encountered in years (not that I encounter that many)
Anyway, it's weird. Whoever runs GSCs twitter has heard nothing about any of this.
No I didn't. I have both SoC and CoP on disc and STEAM.

Why does Steam get a pass while pretty much any other solution elicits crazed nerd rage? Isn't "permanent online DRM" one of the basic characteristics of Steam?

It's, er, a bit more than simply that.

Steam can go offline (if you remember to tell it to when you are online). So not really.
heywood on 11/10/2011 at 07:47
True, but you can't stay offline forever and once you pop online it will do a consistency check on your game and you can be forced to update.
I don't want to divert the topic too much, because pretty soon van Hellsing will drop in here and there will be another Steam shit fight. But I'm honestly surprised by the double standard (DRM and forced downloads are #&%@!, but if it's done through Steam they're OK).
