They did almost the exact same thing to me a few years ago. I sold the machine days later, and will never touch one of their products again.

As long as the new TV series airs ANYWHERE but on Fox -- the SciFi Killer.

Oh, and the Enterprise would have to loose the damned 1950's car look they gave it for the movie.

Well, I'll probably get flamed for this, but I don't mean it to sound snotty or anything. Just the way I feel... Console games have destroyed the market for gaming. In my opinion. Never liked 'em, never will.

Be that as it may....
I thought F.E.A.R was awesome, but I'm really bummed that I won't get to play F.E.A.R. 2. Why? Simple: Steam.

Steam is simply a steaming POS. I got totally screwed on HL2 and vowed to never given them a single penny of mine again. Ever. So... no FEAR for me.

There is no excuse on this earth why a single player game should REQUIRE an internet connection in order to play and load it. There is no defense for steam (other than the same ones used for DRM and greed) and I just can't support the idea that game sellers think they own my PC. Sorry, but that's it.

As for FEAR 2 well... bummer for me that I can't play it, but whatever.

Steam is a Steaming POS. I got nailed when I purchased Half Life 2, thinking that while I was on my business trip, I could play when I wasn't working.

WRONG! Many frustrating hours later, I discovered that their servers were down that I needed an internet connection to install and play the game that I had gone to the store and paid for.

Tech support? From Steam? You have got to be kidding. The only thing they're good at is banning people. Even the polite ones.

Congratulations, they got my money for that game. A game that I never was able to finish because of online checks and updates. However, I've never bought another thing from them again, and I have no plans to.

DRM serves no useful purpose. Other than to let managers who know nothing about computers feel good about themselves.
