If you're lucky, maybe they'd be willing to do a three-way.

Eve Online is the only MMO that has been able to keep me interested in playing for more than a few months at a time. It doesn't have any elves or dragons. It's not built around a film franchise or a beloved series of books. It is unique in that the content created by the game developers plays second fiddle to the content created by the players themselves. It has vibrant player corporations (guilds) based around third-party websites like Something Awful and Reddit (see also: Fweddit and Brave Newbies); which leads to in-game drama aka content creation. It offers high-stakes PvP, in that when you die; your ship explodes and the winning player loots your wreck (corpse) taking whatever valuables survived the explosions. It also allows you to scam your fellow players; which is fairly unique among games. It regularly makes mainstream news for it's large fleet fights and huge losses. And, you're allowed to use your money to buy in-game currency if you are so inclined. I should note that your characters do not level and you don't earn XP or experience points for killing stuff in-game. Instead, your characters earn points that apply to in-game skills in real-time whether you are logged in or not. Eve Online, because spaceships.

this is a potential M$ product.

have they ever designed anything that was completely bulletproof?

a DRM OS is going to holes and exploits just like every other OS. besides M$ has proven repeatedly that they can't get it right the first time around, or the second or third.

yes its true, it would get better over time and maybe M$ hasn't been completely honest and can actually write solid code. but it won't be perfect, it will be circumvented. it will be a classic arms race scenerio.
