It is the future of gaming, sad as it is. As much as we complain, and I agree that it's stupid, 95% of the people complaining have internet connection 24/7. Only very few would it even affect.
No. I will not tolerate this, and neither should you. Neither should you resign to it being fate.
I am not paying 50 ****ing dollars for a game, just so it can be revoked at any time or denied access to it because I've moved away from my internet or there's a power outage or some bull****. I will not buy any system that has anything like this on it, and I hope you nor anybody else will support such things.
Maybe I'm old fasioned, but when you buy something, it's so you OWN it. This isn't a damn amusement park ticket where your paying for the privledge to access their rides. If I'm going to pay good money for a game, I should be able to take it to a damn desert island and not have to worry that it's gonna be yanked out of my hands by the internet strings the developers tied to it.
I mean for ****s sake, Steam has bull**** drm that can ban you from your own games, but at least it has a damn offline mode so you can play when you don't have your internet up or could use to keep playing your games if you were banned from Steam. Geez. And even with that, I'm going to be buying all my most treasured games from Desura, Gog, retail, etc. so that I can look into the games folder on my laptop with pride and know that I bought the games, I supported the developers, and I can take them to a desert island if I wish because they don't have some male cattle dung drm self destruct wired into them if your internet goes offline.
Like I said, if this is the future of gaming,
then I'm not gonna be there.
