Tell GR: DRM - Dumb, Really Man

That is actually hilarious. Even though TW2 definitely isn't a game I'm going to pirate (after I finally get around to finishing the first one) I love the fact that they cracked it just to show it's useless.

Any one who played the witcher (all of them) knows that these games are complete ****.

Haha what? Good luck with your learning-the-difference-between-opinion-and-fact goals in 2012 bro.

Wow. I think that is the first comment I've seen "hidden due to low quality". Congrats 213EDD.

Ubisoft needs to take a note from these guys. DRM only hurts the legit consumers.

DRM is as pointless and futile as drug prohibition.

I want you to think about SecuROM for a second. This is a company whose product is rendered null and void hours after use in hundreds of demonstrable cases. SecuROM manages to sell and resell this product to multi-billion dollar corporations despite a 100% rate of failure on those same companies' prior purchases.

How do they manage this feat of salesmanship? Unadulterated bullshit.

This is from SecuROM's website:

"SecuROM™ is the only digital rights management solution that effectively combats all three major piracy threats: digital clones, emulation, and cracks."

How much ****ing gall must you have to stand in front of a panel of executives and pitch that line, knowing full well that YOUR product failed THEIR last product on all three counts?

One more:

"Increasing revenue can only be done by increasing customer satisfaction. Digital Rights Management solutions can do both at the same time..."

Yeah, and the solution's name is Steam. Fuckers.

Only the retarded pirates. They probably wouldn't get the game working either way.

One of the best comments I've seen in a long time. +1 to you good sir.

This is the scene at the end of an 80s teen film where one person in a group of people starts to clap and slowly the entire crowd joins in to applause.

4 and a half stars.

I think it's worth mentioning that CD Projeckt were the ones who basically said "**** it" to DRM before the game came out, too. Really, they were just proven right.

I think there's push from the publishers more than the developers. It's good to hear a developer speaking out about it though.

The makers of Sins of a Solar Empire, Stardock, had a great post about this years ago, discussing how PC developers set unreasonable expectations -

No link posted - search the game and "Piracy & PC Gaming"

CEOs changing their tunes on DRM, Sony completely removing PSN policies for Dust 514, online donation funding video game development... interesting times.
