It's more "Cody Wilson" than "Bitcoin". The guy is a shameless attention whore who claims odd political beliefs but is actually doing the things he's doing for the payday.

That is how one of the original iPods had their firmware dumped after all, it was played out through the little piezo click speaker at some absurdly low data rate.

No, really, I'm not kidding, there is no possible additional feature or "exclusive" game or service that could make me EVER buy something like this.

Do not want with a fierce burning passion.

And if you were actually confident in your views you wouldn't be posting AC.

Your comment is fantastically hilarious with the "Dictionary of Numbers" plugin active. The funny part reads:

"And my 2 year old is like 38 pounds [ Medium-sized dog]"

...although maybe it's only funny to me because I'm sleep deprived.

Then you're looking at it wrong. Everyone has a right of privacy, and everyone is entitled to care (or not) about preserving that right. When a portion of a government tries to stomp on that right they've done a serious injury to you, and while you're free not to care about it, I'm also free to care a LOT about it without being faced with the accusation that I must "do wrong or plan on doing wrong" because I care about my rights.

Until someone develops a data weevil to burrow into all cheese-based encryption systems and retrieve the hidden data.

How would the project still be useful? By updating with new, unblocked VPNs? Then Iran (or similar country) can block those, too. Assuming the country in question isn't bright enough to automate the process then there may be a window of usability, but even then it would be quite brief.

If you're so sure your comment is good, and only "morons" can complain about the topic, then why post AC?

If the game mode is single player there's no reason to expect to need an internet connection. If EA wants the game to be partially dependent on a remote server even for single player then it's NOT "single player" and calling it that is extremely deceptive.

Single player = local play. If a company wants to redesign that then they need a new name for it so it's clear.

MMOs do not have single player modes, so there's no expectation of local play.

The issue is sort of moot for MMOs. Because of the game's basic nature it's unplayable without an internet connection, whether or not there's a persistent connection to a DRM server as well as the game server doesn't really matter at that point (assuming the DRM servers, separate or not, don't have uptime problems).

It's such a great game that it has a one star rating on Amazon. Only the best of the best manage that!

There's an easy fix to this: Never, ever, ever buy a game that has always on DRM.

Eventually the game manufacturers will learn.

And your post on the subject doesn't help matters. It just brings into clearer relief that you do not, in fact, know what you're talking about.

It may not affect a reader's ability to understand the post, but it does reflect poorly on you, your ability to communicate, and the point you're making. Whether it should or not is debatable I suppose, but generally (especially on the internet) poor grammar and spelling is indicative of someone who isn't worth listening to.
