It's not DRM persay, its smart business practices imo.
» Go to 's original post
His statement about 100 million PC sold with better capabilities than an XBox360 is dubious. Better in what way? More memory? More HD space? Better graphics card? "Better than XBox360" is a very nebulous statement. If I defined better as "The ability to put in a game and play it without the need to arse about" then 0 PC solds meet that spec.
Thing is, PCs are designed as general purpose machines. Arsing about is a given. That's all well and good when I doing development work and arsing about IS work, but when it comes to gaming (Which I consider a form of relaxation) any amount of arsing about is detracting from my experience.
Unsurprisingly enough, my platforms of choice for relaxtion at the moment conist of books, a few watchable TV series and, most important of all, a Nintendo DS (Amazingly useful for relaxing where you want, when you want)
Anyway, that's my opinion.

I got rid of all my PC games, switched to Linux, and got a 360. I dont want to wonder whether the game I'm buying will let me play it in 5 years. Too much BS to worry about when I'm trying to have fun.
