No Funky DRM For Fallout 3
- Thread starter Andy Chalk
- Start date
It's good go see that Bethesda is getting the idea of what we, as gamers, want. It's one thing for Stardock to go with no or little DRM, that's kind of their thing. But Bethesda is a larger, more mainstream game publisher. Seeing that they get the idea gives me some hope for the industry in the long term.
I'm just glad there is at least one game coming out that I can buy, because EA games are currently off my list.

Reading the headline for the article, "No Funky DRM..." left me imagining the possibilities if DRM was made "funky". I'd imagine that it would take the form of enforcement presented on my screen by a very stern "Disco Stu" from The Simpsons.
"Disco Stu says: 3 installs for you"

Welcome to the Escapist! Good to see someone debut with a bang, that post cracked me up.mrakk post=7.73028.783883 said:
On-topic: I have never had a problem with very basic copy protection (disc-check, authentication for a multiplayer online game, that sort of thing.) It's when companies go gung-ho with it *cough*EA*cough* that they lose my business.
Even SecuROM gets a worse rap than it deserves because it's designed as a cafeteria-plan DRM system. But for every company that only uses SecuROM's basic features like disc-checking (Bethsoft on Shivering Isles, 2K on Civ4Col), there's a company like EA that tops its games with restrictions like toppings on a Chicago-style hot dog.
Here here. It was kind of a mandatory purchase for me anyway since I pray daily at the alter of Fallout, but god damn, they just got a gold star in my book for this.snowplow post=7.73028.786598 said:
Who'd of thought that being anti-DRM would be the greatest marketing strategy possible?
I was going to wait for the price to go down before even thought about getting this. But now that I've heard this I think I'll grab it early, just as a show of support. Maybe I'll buy it twice.
Bethesda, you have won at the internet.
I sincerly hope all the pirates out there decied to buy the game as a show of their appreciation.

EDIT: I found a mod for more blood, that count?
*sigh* The only, repeat only thing that has been changed is that Morphine is now called Med-X. Nothing else is different.Typecast post=7.73028.803613 said:
