Much as I loathe and despise publishers and their DRM bullcrap, I still want to support the developers who pour their heart and souls into making these games. Buying it used means the people who worked up to 24 hours straight several times a week don't get a cent for their trouble. That's not right.
DRM is not right, but if you truly enjoy a game or series, despite all the corporate scam-jobs, you owe it to the developers to pay them for their trouble.
If you would've just rented the game anyway or wouldn't buy it otherwise though, then by all means get it used.
Say what you like, but the dinos in the reboot of Turok were awesome.
The game didn't get the ratings it deserved. Was it the best game ever? Of course not, but it was still a blast and the dinos were so much fun to fight. Knife fight with a raptor ftw.
I LOVE moonkin form and would probably cancel my account if it was removed or turned into a temporary buff like tree-form. The above suggestions of turning it into an aura that would retain the form with a glyph are a fantastic compromise that I would support wholeheartedly.
This is why I will always prefer Physical products. You don't have to go through a bunch of bullcrap hoops just to play your game. Stick the disk in. Install. Done. No crappy, resource hogging launcher programs that are just a digital version of a middleman to screw things up.
Not nearly. I can't wait for it because it looks like a great game, but if it had a monthly fee, I'd have to pass it up. Warcraft is still my subscription MMO, and I can't afford to pay monthly fees for another one.

Aug 3rd 2011 8:57AM (Massively)It's always been nothing more than a joke and fool's hope that Pandaren would be a playable race. Now it seems plausible.
But, I will wait for more evidence than a trademark filing. Companies buy trademarks for all kinds of names that they might possibly use but never do.
An example would be Chrono Break from SquareEnix. A game they NEED to make but never have.
