You've got the order wrong, there will be a lot less pirating when companies realize that DRM is what's killing their sales. DRM only hurts the people who buy the software, not the people who pirate it. Really, it's the pirates that are getting superior software (due to removed DRM), and they're getting it for free. There's no way you can logically argue that you can put an end to DRM by eliminating piracy. If you eliminate DRM though, it's much easier to end piracy.
DRM doesn't protect companies from pirates (and companies who believe it does are idiotic), no matter how good of a system they come up with eventually there will be a way to bypass it. The reality of the situation is that developing DRM is a complete waste of resources, because people will get past it - so the cost of developing DRM really just cuts into their profits more.
tl;dr: You have it backwards, end DRM to (help) stop Piracy. Also DRM is idiotic in general.
It's probably just an oversight. They should fix it and merge the two options, since they are the same thing really.
Problem is a low spec PC isn't designed for gaming. Games aren't optimized as well for PCs as they are for consoles.
I'll be wishing them luck finding all 7 dragon balls. They'll need it with a goal this hilarious.
Screw DirectX, openGL 4.x can do anything directX11 can do and can run on just about any platform. For the sake of cross-compatibility - and hell, all compatibility in general, more games should use openGL, directX is a locked down and can only run on Windows and Xbox. I'm not saying DirectX isn't good at what it does, it is. I just don't think it's worth it.
This was using an i7 and GTX 680, so really for slower rigs it's not "more than good enough." Read the actual source article before making these comments, seriously.
Very true. You have no idea how many people think "Noitatsidem Eht" is an actual name, from some foreign country. It's not, in fact it's originally derived from the name of a healing structure in the open source game Tremulous... Read it backwords =P
Too bad I use a nick name on FB.
Actually, very good point. Mod this coward up.
I did just notice some irony between what I just stated, and my signature... Waiting to be modded down, lmao.
Simply because, until a website starts requiring an SS number, or similar, there's no true way to verify if somebody is using their real name. I don't use my legal name on ANY websites (even you, google+), that would be ridiculous. It's no different than letting an employer listen in on all of your one-on-one conversations, to your thoughts on politics. If it does get bad, really, more than anything, it will be effectively a form of corporate censorship.
Why stop there? Ban human life for maximum efficiency.
That's pretty much what I was getting at. Stupid Anonymous Coward, you'll never get modded up like this! D=
Touch screen keyboards totally count. Either way, you're correct, if you choose to live walled in, you're more than welcome to. If you don't, you'd best be smart about it.
The hardest part of climbing the ladder of success is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
