Nowhere have I been inconsistent with my views. It is clear that DRM is a reaction to pirates and pirates are making the legitimate consumer suffer.NuclearShadow said:I am not assuming that you approve of DRM. However it you have made it clear that you at-least pick and choose in some cases and have a inconsistent standard. It is hard to take your views with any real meaning due to this. You sometimes choose to put the entire blame on one party when two parties have done a wrongful actions or at-least what you personally believe to be wrongful. While you don't seem to believe two wrongs make a right, you do however blatantly excuse the second party that responds with another wrong doing as you see fit.
If you had some consistency and simply did not pick and choose you would be more credible.
You can't expect to be taken seriously to bend what is excusable and where the entire blame lies in a situation of you are bias in one case and not another.
It doesn't make the DRM the correct method of controlling piracy just as the teacher punishes the entire class. But I can understand why they react that way.
I think that when people attack publishers for DRM they completely miss that they should also be angry at the pirates.
If you are insistent on real world comparisons (which I don't like doing because it's ridiculous as I have said) how about the crackdown on airport security after 9/11 mostly it just inconvenienced regular passengers but most people could see the real reason for it and did not blame airport security workers. (Sorry Smash I don't mean to totally go against what I said to you there)
Because if they don't it's stealing... :| If anything I would say that a better price range for games would be agreeable (which I have said earlier in the thread). But nobody is entitled to a game just because it is there.Vegosiux said:Give us a reason why people should buy.
