I'm surprised by the number of DRM/big corporation apoligists here.Games are not a service, they are a product. Do you have to call Parker Bros. for permission before every game of Monopoly?

Also, Gabe Newell won't live forever. Forty/fifty years from now, you Steam guys are gonna get a stern wake-up call.

Fart apps are more profitable than most videogames on your smartphone. I don't mean to denigrate the few genuinely good games on that format, nor the cultural phenomena (Angry Birds, Draw Something, etc.) but that's a different audience. Yes, the console/PC crowd might be drawn to stuff like The Room (or those other games that I can't quite recall, possibly because they don't linger in the memory) but that doesn't impact signficantly on the games they are willing spend money on.It's easy to imagine a future of nothing but ipad games, but only if you're willing to forget about Call of Duty, Madden, Halo and (to a lesser extent) Mario.

Anal rape.

Hyperbole is also the future.

24/7 DRM?

Yes. I'm sure it's great.

It's not PS2 ugly or original Xbox ugly, though.

We've seen worse.

This is why Microsoft held their tongues when rumours suggested always-on-DRM. The reality seems much more palatable.

It's still pretty fuckin' awful, but it's better than what the rumours suggested.

That's some good PR. Hats off to all concerned.
