BTW Giants is awesome Well, technically there is no DRM on the GoG games, so... But you shouldn't give them away because it's not nice and selling them would be illegal.

teethgrinder posted:I didn't feel cheated by the Ultimas and Doom 1 vs. 2s since there was so much content and fun to be had. I would have been irritated if they kept doing it for years though. Rethink this statement. Would you really have been irritated if you got another Doom 2 instead of Doom 3?  Of course, in my opinion Painkiller is the REAL Doom 3, so...

Overwined posted:Well if there's one thing you can say about Painkiller is that it doesn't try to be anything it's not. I agree that for all intents and purposes it could have just warped you to the next level rather than making you walk down some hallway to have a door closed behind you, but it's a small issue. I don't think Painkiller is ashamed of being an unadulterated murder-fest. So you think Doom 3 should have been Bioshock but better? But really, Painkiller has more to do with Doom than SS did. Doom is about killing lots of dudes and being a badass. SS, while awesome, is not really about that. edit: and finding secrets, Doom is also about finding secrets.

Plavski posted:It's highly likely those issues are related to Battle.net incompatibilities and lack of internal support for the multiplayer aspects. Diablo still works on bnet. I tried to play it a while back but it hates XP with a passion. It can go online before it crashes horribly, though. I would be unsurprised if the two warcrafts still work as well.

Painkiller regrettably does not have co-op, but BUY IT ANYWAY. Possibly the best gaming decision you will ever make.

Random Stranger posted:While I won't buy downloadable things that use DRM I would be willing to pay for a Netflix style service that used that kind of intrusive DRM; the key is always in giving me something (a huge library of play any time I want games) in exchange for the irritation of the structure and keeping the price at something appropriately low. So... you would use Gametap?

Adam Bowen posted:People say stuff like this all the time and I'm not sure why. Do you actually believe for a second that this is true? That their contracts with all their publishers would allow them to just shut down their DRM? If Steam disappears, your games will be gone, and you'll be completely SOL. That's it. They say it because Valve has said before that they would distribute something to allow people to continue playing their purchases. I don't know if this was a DRM removal tool or just perhaps a fake Valve authentication server that you might run in the background or what.

Xythar posted:Can't you already play Steam games in offline mode without needing to stay connected to the authentication server? I imagine it'd just be perma-offline mode, seems feasible since the only actual DRM in Steam is needing to run the games through Steam and you don't need to be online for that. That's a good point. All they need to do is say "hey guys we are shutting down here's a week, connect one last time to turn on Offline Mode, it's been good."

Random Stranger posted:Saying they'll remove the DRM is one of those easy things to say when you're trying to sell someone on the service and pretty much impossible to do when it comes time to pull the trigger. The people who said they would won't be the ones making the decisions when that time comes; it'll be lawyers and managers at another company. Yeah, but it's not like Steam is exactly unpopular. It's more likely that Gabe would pass ownership willingly to someone else rather than have to sell it to another company to avoid massive debt.

I just remembered another reason they need to get EA on board. Old Maxis games. I would kill a man, perhaps two, to be able to play SimAnt and the original SimCity again. Two for each game. Especially SimCity because all the new stuff is too complicated for me.
