Then you’re just being difficult.
Hence the “waaaaaaaaa, i have to spend 3 seconds of my precious life to make an account waaaaaaaaaa!!!11!1!11!11111!!1!!”
I was obviously joking, I just don’t play gmod anymore.
johnkiller is incapable of understanding humor or “joke”.
No. It’s that I expect that attitude from someone is 100% anti-DRM.
To be fair, DRM ftl.
Not if all it is is taking 3 seconds of your precious life to register and sign into something.
Like Steam, or what Garry’s Mod is doing.
What Ubisoft is doing, however, IS bullshit.
What exactly is DRM anyway?
Dick Restoration Machine.
Or Digital Rights Management (I think).
Anti-piracy, bscly.
Yeah, but why does everyone hate it?
Well, the nit picky bitches like to bitch about taking 3 seconds out of their precious lives to regiseter their game and sign into something (like Steam.)
…but the people that actually have a good argument will bitch at Assassin’s Creed II’s (and all future Ubisoft games) DRM, which forces people to have a constant online connection for their entire game session. If you lose your connection, the game pauses and won’t allow you to play until the connection will be restored (or until it gives up and ends the game altogether.)
Yeah, the Assassin’s Creed 2 example seems shit. Not all of us have a constant internet connection, and some of us like to play offline.
Because Ubi and EA are annoying the hell out of their customers.
Ubi was kind of stupid for not thinking that so many people would buy AC2 and actually try to play it. AC was very successfull and received mostly positive reactions from critics and players. Thanks to that the server couldn’t handle all the traffic. Also alot of people still have problems connecting.
And if the connection gets disrupted, the game stops immediately or after a few seconds. So if you want to play on a laptop somewhere without internet orf via WLAN, prepare for unforseen consequenses.
I know, but by the way it was explained it sunded like it was just disc protection.
I don’t have a problem with anti-piracy measures, but I have a problem to involve contents, that don’t belong to him. Content for GMod is free content, made by the community and not by Garry.
Not everyone who is downloading stuff from there is a pirate (including me for example). If he has a problem to pay the bandwidth for the people who didn’t buy GMod (I don’t think this is really an argument, because there are many filehosters that offer flat rates), he should resettle to a free web hoster or use BitTorrent or whatever.
Or they should just shut down garrysmod.org and let the users create their own webpage, where they can upload their content.
When he used Bittorrent downloads I ended up getting like 4 viruses and the whole community hated him for it. He should just redirect downloads to filefront or some other site like that.
No, it’s not. I used to think that too, and I wondered why they bothered, because crackers can crack anything, until I read a post on this forum (by Max, I think) , which informed me that it is designed to limit resell.
it is working so good that it’s even limiting sell.
Example:
Paying customer: He has to deal with not being able to play offline, and if his internet drops out for some reason, he can’t play it until it reconnects.
Pirate: He has a cracked version, and doesn’t have to worry about any of the stuff the paying customer does.
Who are they trying to stop here? It sure isn’t the pirate.
I approve of this method. It stops pirates from enjoying the game and barely disrupts legit users.
Plus, all the butthurt from the pirates is hilarious.
Wait, Garry’s method or Ubisoft’s method? I would approve of Garry’s method if it was HIS content he was protecting, but if you’re talking about Ubisoft, then I’ll kindly have to ask you to GTFO of mah internets.
