@SgtDookie They didn't 'decide' to not carry the game. The game companies would not sell them product on credit, because they pretty much saw this coming. Subtle but important distinction.

@Relysis I haven't bought a Ubi game since probably 2008 - maybe earlier - and I have also not pirated one. I have played a friends' copy of Assassin's Creed at one point, and I own some older Ubi titles, so I have played Ubi games since, but Ubi's policies have caused me to swear off the publisher and I do not acquire their properties.

I loved the second disc, I didn't have to play it anymore.

He needs to work with Patrick Stewart on this one, maybe make it about a guy with psychic powers who goes up to women in the street and then makes all their clothes fall off. They try to put them back on but it doesn't matter, you've already seen everything.

@SpecBlank I've said it before, I'll say it again: Whether or not you understand Angry Birds depends entirely on how long it takes you to do a #2. If you're the type to take a very long time, it's a great diversion as you do the duty. If you take brief dumps, then it's really not going to make much of an impact.

As someone whose toilet duties are brief, I'm not a fan, and I imagine you don't tie up the bathroom very long either since you don't get it.

@RX3115 Are you saying washed up disco superstars can't be poets?

@SilverPR I like Catherine, I bought Catherine. I can admit that a game which features, as its cover art, a man with sheep horns getting lost in a very young looking woman's bosom is not going to have huge mass appeal.

@(Unverified) Some of us aren't always online. I like to travel with a laptop, and in hotels connections tend to be variable, if they exist at all. Or, if you visit elderly relatives, they might not even know what a computer is, let alone have a decent connection (and they tend to go to bed really early, so you need to find something to do until you also want to go to bed). As someone else mentioned, if you're on a plane you're likely not going to have any sort of connection, good luck playing your games then.

There's also the matter of people who lack consistent connections or have bandwidth caps which they have to watch religiously.

Yes, it's "simple, painless" if you've got a good connection at all times. Not everyone does.

@therain83 Pirates do leap through hoops to justify things, sure, but constant connection DRM doesn't hurt them in the end, because they get a crack. It hurts me, Mr. Paying Consumer, who has the game on his laptop for something to do at my parents' house or in a hotel. That ISN'T an exceptional case, and many people travel much more than I do.

Personally, no, I'm not pirating it. I'm just going to ignore it. But I'm not going to say the DRM is okay because some people pirate it, the DRM doesn't work and screws over paying consumers. The rule should be that people who pay get a better experience than people who don't, and with the always on DRM, the case is instead that the people who pirate get the better game.

@therain83 Actually it bothers people who travel with a laptop (like me!) who might want to play a game away from a constant connection. Also, people who don't have constant connections, people who are concerned about bandwidth caps, and people whose connections are down so it's a good chance to play a single player title but they aren't allowed to.
