Darling_Jimmy: It sounds like a good idea to me. Just like smoking laws are designed to make smoking so excruciatingly tedious that people will hopefully stop smoking rather than put up with a pile of crap: the more trouble it is for a company to DRM its virtual products, the greater likelihood they will stop doing it.
The problem is that this would be a lot of trouble for their customers too. That is, if they really do mean "on paper", as in a formula with the customer's signature on it.

I hope that it is. People are too apathetic for their own good. Maybe filling out an application to play a game will cause some to think about what these companies are actually asking them to part with.

oldschool: Yeah, i thought so. Good news, my computer crashed a few weeks ago, so my Steam client isn't even installed. I never thought i would happy about a computer crash.

El_Caz: You should still check your browser apps since the vulnerability is not through the installed game, but through your browser.

True. And many would simply just not buy anything that required them to go through such an arduous process, forcing publishers to refrain from using the tactics that made it necessary in the first place. I'd count that as a win :-)

The good rumer is that it's patched. Steam version is slow on the whole patching thing, online DRM (although, not mandatory) still sucks and blows.
