[quote who="piderman" reply="36" id="2369258"]Indeed. Europeans are second rate customers. I guess we're used to it. They'll probably sell it to us for €50 in half a year or so...[/quote] Here's some helpful hints on how YOU can fix that! Make it so there's only one company responsible for distribution for every country in Europe. Make it so there's only one ratings group for every country in Europe.

Well, some of the EA titles that went up on Steam later got Securom removed, so there is theoretically a chance.

[quote who="Thrawn2787" reply="17" id="2368867"]Since EA is brining Securom they should just leave [/quote] So those millions of us who buy EA games and Stardock should suffer because you don't like them? Uh huh. I'm going to be scratching my head at that logic for a while. Go tell that to a retail store chain, watch them laugh in your face.

I'm just glad 99% of the universe has killed off Starforce. Whether or not Securom is acceptable usually depends on personal ideology. Whether or not Starforce is acceptable depends on how often you had games refuse to work because of it. (Tages is only slightly better than Starforce, but at least it's better. Still worse than Securom though.)

[quote who="Sadnasser" reply="10" id="2368793"]Just checked Red Alert 3. It has Securom. So there's two forms of protection!!??!! TWO forms of DRM. Securom and Impulse. Count me out. At least Impulse by itself is tolerable. Adding to it is not!! [/quote] So you just said two forms of DRM and only listed one. How does that work? Impulse isn't loaded to play the game, and it doesn't load anything when you play the game, so it i

[quote who="Coelocanth" reply="8" id="2368782"] It is. Every single one of the games has SecuROM (and Sims 3 doesn't have it on the retail disc, although there is a disc check). No indication what will be used (if anything) on Dragon Age. I just don't understand what EA is thinking. Impulse should be protection enough.[/quote] That the retail edition only has a disc check is irrelevant, since the digital version has Securom no matter where you buy it. I hope to see

Reply to Impulse designed to be as big a nuisance as possible? in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

If it's trying to update every time it launches, your install is busted. This is not normal behavior. Only time I recall seeing that happening is if I had a phase 1 client installed.

I have plenty of empathy. I have no sympathy though, so I'm not about to stop occasionally calling things gay. I respect LGBT(?) peoples, but I really don't care what they think of how I talk.

Reply to $5 Games @ D2D in PC Gaming Stardock Forums

D2D still has the annoying DRM on Ubisoft games. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory may actually work fine from Steam from what I heard, but on x64 the D2D and normal versions don't work at all. I hope D2D puts out a solid client. I definately expressed my wishes towards that in their feedback survey.

Whether it survived or not, it was still the better game. Blizzard gets huge fanbases for games that to me just seem halfassed. I obviously don't understand that, but hell, I don't have to.

[quote who="Scorpiana" reply="17" id="2359605"] I don't think the problem is that it's complicated, what would be easier, no country check, or a country check? I think some of those publishers really want to keep the game price higher in Europe in the 35$ = 35 euro way... Well, it's their loss, if I can only buy a game I want for an inflated price, I'll look for another game... [/quote] Then you haven't been listening to devs. If it wasn't complicated, the problem

If I post anything, can I get some anti-mob protection? No? Arright, well anyway: 1: Sins I'm sure it's a fascinating game, but I've barely played it more than an hour. It just isn't my type of thing. 2: Galactic Civilizations 2 I liked the first one better. I thought having to figure out what plot to build your stuff on on the planet just made things tedious, and the research tree is just too wierd
