Comment Re:When will the non-DRM version of sc5 be availab (Score 1) 427
The amount of hassle involved as a legitimate customer is a bit higher than anything Ubi or GfW will throw your way. Origin, UPlay and Games for Windows are clear indicators(to me at least) that I may have to count myself lucky if I can play the game at all.
That's why I basically only buy games that either come in humble bundles (or sometimes one of its many ripoffs) or on Steam/Desura after I'm sure the game doesn't have some kind of silly DRM like the ones you mentioned.
Yes, it means I can't play the newest versions of SimCity or Diablo or whatever, but judging from what I hear after releases of these games, neither can the people who actually bought them. So I still count myself ahead.
