What next DRM or Third-party would you like?

Post » Fri Feb 25, 2011 4:06 am

More is always better. Fallout 3 had GFWL. Fallout New Vegas has GFWL and some Steam.

What else should we add? Personally, I would feel much happier knowing there is some super-hard to break DRM protecting the profits of those brave souls that develop a Fallout game. I also wouldn't mind adding some extended functionality. Game spy for example gives us more to talk about. And in future Fallout games, if they ever wanted to toss in a cooperative play, they just make use of the built in GameSpy arcade juicyness.

NV doesn't have GfWL, thank god, it has GfW, which isn't DRM at all. Poor NV is going out there with but one level of protection.

I imagine the DLC will come through GFWL. Achievements are officially coming from Steam or what?

It only has Steam. Achievements in Steam, DLC in Steam, everything in Steam.

New Vegas is 'Games For Windows' (GFW) ... which means it runs on a windows PC. It does not have Games For Windows Live (GFWL) support, only Steam.

Any game that only runs on windows has GFW on the box.

I sincerely hope you're being sarcastic or are just trolling.

DRM is a complete and utter joke. None of them are uncrackable and many of them are nothing more than a royal pain in the ass for user who buy legit copies of games (Starforce, GfWL and even SecuROM is becoming less and less friendly these days - Ubisoft's DRM is probably the most draconian one). You should have seen the 100+ page thread on the Ubisoft forums of people complaining about the DRM system. I wish Bethesda would stick with what they did with Oblivion. A simple CD check without all the annoying crappy ass DRM nonsense that's likely to piss me off for not functioning properly at least once. I don't mind inserting a DVD.

LESS is better.

Idiotic sponsorship is Idiotic.

Still, the questions are still valid.

you dont give alot of poll choice, to pick just one of the DRM we have to say no to all the others....wouldnt it be better to just have all the options in a single list and we pick one?

Because it is just that, a game for Windows. No "Live!", as you can see.

Either way... There really is nothing necessary in the feature except Steam. At least for this series. Steam somewhat of an unstoppable Behemoth, who still limps, but is otherwise awesome.
