"Patchinko said:"Destroyeron said:Are you guys seriously trying to help getting people like Greg Kasavin and Amer Ajami laid off because you people just can't deal with DRM?"I guess I'll be pirating this then."Bingo.
I would have bought it, too. I buy games that I feel deserve it. But unfortunately I will not support SecuROM. Forcing malware on people is needless because it doesn't work anyway.
I argue that there are more people like me--who'll go out and pay for a game we really like because we support those developers--than people pirating games they would otherwise buy. I argue that those people wouldn't buy it anyway even if they couldn't pirate it, therefore it isn't a loss to the company at all.
But, this DRM crap causes a lot of people like me to pirate it instead, and I won't pay a dime to have malware force-installed on my system.
Hell, there's enough good games coming out this month that I may just skip RA3 all together. I was really looking forward to it, but SecuROM pisses me off that much."
Think about who you are stealing from.

You should get off our collective nuts. I didn't force them to package useless malware in with their games. I used to work for EA. I'm very precisely aware of what I'm doing, and negative feedback about their DRM decisions combined with evidence that it doesn't combat piracy in the least or result in increased sales will change their minds on it.
I also somehow doubt Greg Kasavin and Amer Ajami are getting laid off because of it, so stop being a drama llama.
Oh, and stop blindly supporting pointless enforced malware.
