And yet you know with the idea behind Denuvo that that's the future we're headed with these ignoramus control freak corporations.

I guess the bright side is there are already so many games available that if we had to stop playing now we would probably never run out.

Unless they Warcraft 3 everything too...

Isn't warcraft 3 DRM free or did hey updated it recently ?

I was under the impression that the most recent update linked it to Battle.net a la Starcraft 2. That might not be true though, I really hope it isn't, because I never played beyond WoL for that always online reason.

Nah. Boxed movie sales are actually doing fine. It's disc rentals that are dying, because streaming scratches that itch without the need to pick up and return the disc. Compare streaming services with purchased Blurays on the other hand, and the streaming services suddenly fare poorly in terms of quality and user rights.

Not to mention that streaming services have a bit of a quality issue. These all-inclusive packages rarely offer compelling movies, which is basically a case of you get what you pay for. Anecdotally, it should be fairly clear that people tend to go both boxed and streaming in tandem - there are very few people that only stream because you simply miss out on most of the good stuff unless you want to rent it separately, which is expensive.

We actually have Amazon Prime Video, but we've barely touched it because renting a movie costs around half the price of it on Bluray, has highly compressed audio and video (which even my humble 9-year-old budget receiver and cheap speakers and TV make noticeable), and 98% of the stuff in the subscription is stuff I wouldn't even watch for free.

Fair to say you do not care about your controller fancier gaming sis or bro? OP and all that.

I am not one, but it does not stop me from suspecting you are a bit petty gaming-wise. You, you and you.

I love my M&KB. I do not dismiss others - that easily at least.

I have no idea what you are on about .

I need someone to translate this crazy speak, tinyE I need your help !

Nobody knows what Tstael craves, some think it to be a creature that nourishes itself on the insanity growing in a confused mind, others think it to be a prophet of dark times to come.

It's probably just a finn that's been in the sauna way too long. Don't engage and avoid eye contact, nobody can save you from the madness.

If he wasn't a Finn I'd bet he got too much sun and started seeing penguins and shit.

Nope, Warcraft 3 is still DRM Free, to play multiplayer you need a battle net account but you don't need the client.

Screw it, I'll give it a shot.

'Fair to say you do not care about your controller fancier gaming sis or bro?'
- This must relate to family issues. There may be a history of substance abuse. Just a working theory.

'You, you and you.'
- I guess the point is being made that you have multiple personalities, only a handful may be present during any particular moment.

'I love my M&KB. I do not dismiss others - that easily at least.'
- I got nothing. Maybe M&KB is a shoe store or something.

That's it. Did my best. I lost 10 minutes of my life thinking about that post and replying. Oh look, there's my naval.

That's a relief! The old tyme apocalypse has not arrived.

Guuuys?! It's talking again!

I think he might be try to summon Cthulu or his Finnish equivalent.

Agreed completely. EA ceased to be useful when they stopped putting their new games on GOG and Steam, instead hoarding them on their sorry excuse off a platform named Origin and making all of their modern premium/"AAA" games Origin exclusive as a justification for its pitiful existence.

If Activision and Ubisoft move to streamed-only games, I'm predicting they will lock the stream to 30 fps (for a cinematic experience, whatever that means). Found the new Activision "Ninja Turtles" game in my Steam discovery queue and the reviews were littered with rage posts about being locked to 30 fps.
---------------------
No one needs yet another team vs team realistic modern war simulator. Those are more overdone than a burnt steak.
-----------------------

the Coalition will remotely disable your nano-implants and you will no longer be able to experience virtual reality until you make a detour to Hong Kong and get them reactivated.

Stuff like that is why the original Deus Ex should be mandatory literature study.
-----------------------
They could always lock the resolution and frame rate to a very cinematic (whatever that means) 400x300/20fps.
----------------
So it's a s***ty 1-player MMO. That already exists, it's called Diablo 3.
----------------
It's time for people to boycott Electronic Assholes, Ubi$**t, and similar control freak companies until they go out of business.

Also: even if the megacorporations make everything stream-only, there will always be plenty of indie devs who wouldn't.
