Borderlands PC DRM loyally guards street date; Pitchford unable to order stand-down
Oct 23rd 2009 2:02PM (Joystiq)If console piracy ever gets close to PC piracy, you will see it.

Oct 23rd 2009 1:59PM (Joystiq)I think consumers are wrong to demand that there be a fix to let them play before the published PC release date.
Using your car analogy, you would have to include the angle that say Ford said "None of those 2010 Focus's should be sold before XXXX" and your local dealer sold you one anyway. If it did not start and Ford replied with, "sorry the electrical system will not turn on till XXXX, how did you get one?". I would think that is ok too.
I agree that they are not doing a good job in there advertisements of distinguishing the two and that's not cool. But the fact is the date is the date and the DRM is enforcing it. Arguing for an angle that gets around that just doesn't seem to be a good one in my opinion.

Oct 23rd 2009 12:44PM (Joystiq)If you got a copy of a hot new MMO early and tried to log into servers that were not available yet, would you still be bitching? How is it any different than buying and downloading something on Steam and having it "unlock" on the release date?
"Oh look at me, I beat the system, I got it before I was supposed too................wait, I have to wait for the actual published release date? THATS NOT FAIR, I BEAT THE SYSTEM!!!". Too funny, made my day. lol

Nov 28th 2007 1:07PM (Joystiq Nintendo)It being portable does not really make a diff does it? I mean just close your DS and open it back up later. In the rare case you can't get back and save, you don’t have any warp stones to get back AND your low on battery, I guess you’re screwed then.
It is a throw back to RPG's of old, that’s why I love it!!
Can't wait for this!
