Put this one in the delusional pile.

The entire leveling system in Oblivion needed to be redone. You can trust Bethesda Game Studios to be very critical of their own games, even if we as the community didn't find it to be a huge problem, they would still see it in need of fixing. This is the one team of devs I trust with being smart on development.

Blind Freddy could have seen that Oblivion's levelling problem was the shit but they still put it in the game. I wouldn't trust them as far as I could throw them.

Hey assholes, the servers for DA:O have been down since friday causing all sorts of DLC-related problems. While the complaints of not being able to play a singleplayer game because of a server issue started to pile up something fierce Bioware only decided acknowledge the problem yesterday with a weak "we know" reply. There are people talking about contacting the media and lawyers and shit over on the forums. Why are we not talking about it? Let's talk about it! I'll go first:

Boy howdy am I glad I pirated the game so I don't have to deal with the DRM.

Alright, next.

I dare these morans to sue over the servers being down. They would lose easily.

As far as I know, yes, but apparently some are saying the ME2 server (Cerberus Network) is also behaving strangely although it doesn't keep the DLC from working. :D

And then people ask me why I pirate my games that require online activation. And they're actually serious when they ask...

DAO in particular is a funny example. Bioware and EA made a big thing out of going back to disk checks with it after ME1. But the minute you install a DLC (and one of them came free with the game... so why wouldn't you?) you suddenly can't play the game at all if the servers have problems.

This reminds me of Sacred Gold. With the latest patch, the DRM is completely removed. So, you need a valid key and so forth to play online... but you DON'T need to be connected to play SP. Same for Diablo 2. They're ONLINE GAMES where you can play SP offline. And DAO, an SP-only game, can only be played online...

Hell, Blizzard even removed the CD checks from all their old games a few years ago. I doubt Bioware will ever patch the DRM out of their games.

Do share with us, princess, why you think they would "easily" lose? And just in case were considering typing: "EULA, moran!" -- call your lawyer boyfriend first. And think it through a little. Unless you KNOW that the Bio-servers were struck by an act of God (and given the biblical awfulness of DA2, I admit this is certainly a very real possibility) such as floods, lightning, civil unrest, - then yes, they would then 'easily' lose in their legal action.

Honestly, you write such shit I can usually smell your posts from my garage. These Biocustomers can be living anywhere in the world, and yet you issue your bullshitz legal opinion without even knowing which jurisdictions you're talking about.

I think they only did so for Diablo 2, but that's because all the others (of the older ones) require the disk in the drive because they actually read data off it.

I mentioned Sacred because I rememebred it first, but it's obvious Ascaron was copying Diablo 2 with the copy protection scheme. Both games need a valid key to play online. Both games only used a CD check to play SP offline. Both games got the CD check removed in later patches. In fact what I initially said about not needing to be online to play is wrong, because in both games you don't even need to go online to activate. And why would you, for an SP campaign?

The latest patches for Warcraft 3, Starcraft, and Diablo all disable the CD check, too; you just have to take an extra step and copy some data files into the game directory.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did it with Warcraft 2 too, but I haven't touched my copy of that in over a decade.
