Ill say they are lame as much as I want. For one, games are overpriced... Two... Times are evolving, so should payment methods.
Three... Trying to protect one's investments should never be taken out on honest buyers.
what they are doing is extreme. Essentially they make you buy something that's not even yours once you bought it. So I bet a lot of potential customers will choose not to buy it specifically because of those problems.
I know I wont. I want reassurance that I can play my games whenever I want to, without having to go through hoops to make it mine.
I normally buy the games I play anyway. I don't see why I should be punished for this.

I don't know about overpriced, there certainly is a standard about that apparently every game is equal and therefor must cost exactly the same (60 Euro's over here), regardless of quality. However there are certain games well worth that price, as literally millions can be spend on the production of a game.
Payment methods have little to do with this problem. No matter how you obtain the PC version of a game, it will still have to be installed which means you get to mess around with the files as much as you like (to crack them for instance). Even console games are copied despite the huge number of security features on the disc and the console.
Anyway, I'm with OANST on this one. It's easy to complain about the problem but what about bringing up a solution? If you have a better idea about how you can protect your investment without hurting the people who buy it, let yourself be heard.
T-nex, last I heard you wanted to be a game designer yourself. Surely this is right up your alley?
