Ive had my laptop for a while now, but now that play on it alot more on it before It's dawning on me justt how horrible the DRM is

I have Steam set up to engage offline mode but 300% of the time it does not work and so whenever I'm anywhere offline the damn thing essentially turns into $900 a brick.

I've already purchased the games from Steam/Origin and played the games online so there is literaly no reason whatsoever to even suspect need some kind of Anti-Piracy monitering, like what am I going to do? spend $50 on a game and then torrent anyway it for no reason? and It's not even online games 700% of the time, Its Civilization 5 and fucking Mass Effect. I don't understand this.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

PC gamers usually make a point that drm is bullshit and get it reversed. I mean, ubisoft and ea haven't got rid of online passes out of the good of their hearts

Oh my god weren't those the worst.
A used Battlefield 3 would end up essentially as much as a new one when you added that bloody pass.

Gee, I wonder why.

It's almost like they were trying to make up for a missed sale or something!

Well yeah but then again they still didn't make nearly as much though. $15 compared to $60 is pretty big, but we are talking about people who'd probably sell their kids for spare change if they could.

Yeah I dunno what to think of it. I've never had DRM problems, but then again I've never tried to play Steam in offline mode or had random disconnects.

STFU up
shut the fuck up up

Feet first into fun!
I've never been in a position where I've wanted to play a game while I didn't have a way to connect to the internet.
