CarrionCrow: Well...if GOG ever decides to drop the "superstition" and allow games like that, they had better sell a fucking ton to make up for every person who quits buying here as a result.
BKGaming: I find it kind of sad that he doesn't find a mandatory internet connection DRM, even for single player, and is prepared to argue with me to no end about it not being DRM. Though I do get where he is coming from, in his mind making it use a client based server (for AI and stuff) is just how the game was designed to save time and money. But at the end of the day it's still a restriction on usage and therefor can be considered DRM.
He seemed to be baiting the fight from the beginning with the superstition comment. If he was surprised that started something then he probably ends up arguing with people on a frequent basis, but I kinda feel like he was wound up for the conversation from the start.
He may have taken offence to trying to have is work smooshed into a DRM box. I don't really care what label he wants to put on it, I'm just not interested in something made that way, and it was a little uncool to unprovokedly call people superstitious for questioning a design decision that is often questioned.
In the past this sort of thing has typically (if not always) been about actual DRM style control, and the creators are never upfront about it why they did it. That makes it pretty easy to just slap DRM on this and call it a valid criticism.
