Default Re: Used videogame/video game revenues dilema.

I know that Games for Windows Live in most games ties your game save to your G4WL account so when you can't log in 'cause your Internet is down or whatever you can't access your save which I think is ridiculous.

At least I'm pretty sure that might be the case, the most recent game I have that uses G4WL is Bioshock 2 and that's been out for a while already.

I did see that Ubi did this before with Assassin's Creed 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction for the PC as well, but then RAZOR-1911 or SKIDROW cracked it and told them to go fuck themselves pretty much and that the game probably wasn't worth all the DRM trouble anyway.

The fact that they're choosing to go this route again though really says something about what they think of their consumer.

I mean Driver: San Francisco? I'm pretty sure the more recent entries in the Driver series didn't warrant much critical acclaim; I'm just gonna assume as much now.

Oh I get to bump this thread with sadness in my heart.

For the most part, I've been able to avoid this whole mess because most of the games that do it aren't that important to me.

But just found out that Batman: Arkham City is doing it. And doing it by restricting access to certain single player portion of the game (the Catwoman missions)
