If you did this anonymously, and included a letter detailing exactly why you are doing this, and posted pics before sending it, you would be hailed as a hero of the Internet.

I would argue that this is exactly what Steam does already.

@Forcen: While I'm generally against "x activations per y" schemes, four per month would be a huge improvement over five... ever.

" What's DRM mean? "
Digital Rights Management (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_rights_management). Basically, anti-piracy measures. Steam's own built-in DRM is basically just tying the games you purchase to your account, and it works great. But stupid publishers like to put more restrictive DRM on games like this, making it so you can only install this game on five computers, ever. Now I don't know about you, but I think I'm going to go through more than five computers in my lifetime, and, y'know how you'll go back and play your old NES games, etc. now? Yeah, well I want to go back and play my old games years and years down the road, without having to worry about "oh, SHIT, I did already install this on the 5th allowed computer, back in '21."

" Can't help but think adding that turns a fair few people towards piracy because they don't want that crap on their computer but want to play the game. "
Exactly! I bought the Steam version of Borderlands because of a few reasons. First, I like PC FPS's better than consoles, but secondly, because I like having games on my Steam account, where I know I'll always be able to download and play them, regardless of what happens to my computer, etc. I actually didn't even know Steam had the ability to do this. If I had more of an urge to play this game, I would perhaps consider pirating it. But I don't really want to play the DLC that badly, so I'll just wait and pray that they eventually take the DRM off due to customer pressure (yeah, like that'll ever happen).

Yeah, don't buy it. I was literally about to click the purchase button, and then I happened to notice this nonsense (click here for full size):

No Caption Provided
Yeah, screw that shit. I like my Steam DRM the way it is, and I don't want anything more restrictive than that. I've gone through three computers in the past four years or so, and my current one is due for a full upgrade from the ground-up (it keeps bluescreening due to a motherboard issue ._.), so I really don't want to have to deal with shit like this just because I want to play the game. 
 
Also, the main game doesn't have this DRM. It uses regular Steam DRM like almost every other game out there. Why did they add it for the DLC? 
 
So yeah, if you are against this sort of thing, or you just plain don't want your rights restricted by shitty DRM implementations, don't buy this DLC (until they [hopefully] remove it!) I was moderately looking forward to this DLC, but it's not a huge deal if I don't get it, so I can live with it... but hardcore Borderlands players eager for more content may want to reconsider purchasing the Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, at least for now.

I dunno about dumbest, but I think the BEST one I've seen in terms of raw manliness is SCROTE_SMASHER.

I'm not competing as I don't even own this game, but I perhaps see a better pic of the back? I just want to see what I assume is Jeff just above the bumper there. 
 
Overall one of the slickest things I've ever seen in my entire life.

That reminded me strongly of the final boss music  in Persona 4, where it sneaks in reprises of the main battle theme and the boss battle theme.

Yeah, it's a tiny bit lower than my other audio files, but not by much.
