A lot it has to do with the "have to be online" BS. Fuck, its annoying on every other game as your computer/console starts up, takes like a minute at times to try to log on or some BS.
Jeez, are gaming companies intentionally trying to drive away their customers?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35945685 They're training you to buy the games online rather than in brick and mortar stores. It's going to lower distribution costs big time. That's why you can go online to Steam and buy brand new releases for $24.99 instead of 60 bucks at your local game store. It's the future whether you like it or not. It's not all bad. Yeah that's fine, I'll buy a game online, and that's no problem. But when they start tying all this mandatory being online to even play the game or some DRM BS, that's when it starts getting stupid and bad and the corporations start clusterfucking shit up big time. LOL trust me, I worked on their side, and I realized how idiotic they how with this shit. Believe me, I know how these corporate idiots think. "Who cares if we make the product unplayable for everyone, just as long as we don't lose a nickel on some potential perceived threat of some piracy!" I think what the studios don't understand is that nobody who pirates games would ever buy them anyway, for any price, under any circumstances. And anybody who buys them, doesn't pirate. They are two separate camps of people, profits will not go up if they put an end to the pirates. there will just be less people playing, less people talking about it, less word of mouth, and word of mouth is everything in gaming. Gamers buy on what other gamers say about games. That's a fact. The developers have never understood their market. I pay for my games, only because I realize that if I ever want to see a Saints Row 4, somebody has to buy Saints Row 3. So I bite the bullet. Those who don't give a fuck are never going to give a fuck, and they'll never pay. Pfft, and of course, the "ironic" thing is that back in the days when there were no DRM protection, like in the 80's and 90's, PC game makers used to make $$$ hand over fist. Nowadays with all their DRM protection, the PC gaming market is completely dead. I am certain corporate weasels would never be able to put 2 + 2 together (or wouldn't care to try too).
