Sure, but what do you do when you want to play the game again in 10 years? 20 years? The servers will be long gone. DRM is going to steal away vast swathes of videogame history, which is a bit tragic.
It's teaching us all to treat videogames as a disposable commodity rather than something to be treasured. How much poorer would pop culture be if The Godfather or Lord of the Rings disappeared shortly after their creation, never to be seen again?
SimCity 2000 is nearly twenty years old, and it's still a great game. It's still important and worth remembering for all its innovations.
- jamesaguilar 14y agoI don't have enough time to play all the good games that come out. I don't think I'll be broken-hearted. But I admit you have a point that it would be better if it was DRM free. It is still not a super big problem to me.
- tl 14y agoIf you view DRM as a negative and you believe that there are more good games than you can play, you can subtract every game with DRM from your list, and still have enough good games!
- jamesaguilar 14y agoIt certainly doesn't annoy me enough to skip a game that would otherwise be at the top of my list.
