What a load of rubbish.
What a load of rubbish.
EA - 99.8% of gamers dont care about DRM
- Thread starter Pilky01
- Start date
I'd say the population of this forum alone counts for more than 0.2% of the PC gaming public 
(just to add, this isn't me saying the population of PC gamers is small, just that the majority on here cared about the DRM)
[EDIT] I'd also like to add that i scoffed at his comment at the end about piracy, sorry to burst your bubble mate but all of your supposedly secure games were cracked on release and heavily downloaded in the first 24 hours. These DRM measures affect no one but the consumer.

Only becomes an issue when it stops me doing something. I.e. from playing the game on another PC, from selling the game on, or from stopping me using nero which would REALLY annoy me. EA don't care about supporting there games, I'm not bothered to buy them. Shame they seem to be the biggest publisher though.

I buy all ma games and i dont care about DRM because whatever happens i can still play the game so why should i care

I really dont like EA's attitude toward gamers, even if I do love FIFA 09

Its partially the thought behind it, and for some people, it doesn't actually work. Also, why should a 3rd piece of software have the right to make other pieces of software not work?

True bout making other pieces of software not work that is not right. But that has never happened to me and i bet most people don't have that problem but apart from this i don't see a problem with drm.

To be fair, pirates would say the same thing. DRM doesn't really affect pirates if they are willing to wait a few weeks or so for someone to crack it.
This might not be a complete lie. 99.8% of gamers probably only rarely play PC games, so they won't care about DRM.

99% of Gamers don't care about EA < FIXED 
But then they'd make up some figures on how polls are 99.8% inaccurate.

I'm sure the numbers are right - 99.8% of people that buy games probably don't know what DRM is.
hehe. Liked that.
