I was referring to un-authorized copies possibly carrying viruses. It would be rather difficult for the reseller of an original disk to put a virus on it. I guess you mis-understood me... no big deal.
Well that's my bad then, though in my defense it wouldn't be too far from your usual brand of nonsense.

Malware, on the other hand, does things the user does not want, or tries to inconvenience the user for no benefit to anyone.
Kinda like a virus? Malware is an umbrella term that refers to lots of things, dude, virii included. With regards to DRM, you're probably looking for the term spyware. I'm not sure I would agree with calling it spyware, however; I think draconian DRM is in a separate category all its own.

This sucks. I was really looking forward to the new Prince of Persia and hoping they would continue their recent policy of not having any copy protection at all. I don't have a problem with most forms of DRM, at least to the point of not purchasing something, but this is really stupid.

Or you could stand up for some principles (which you don't seem to possess) and NOT PLAY THE FUCKING GAME AT ALL.
(yes I realize this goes against what I just said above but SpergMasturbator is getting on my nerves)
:eww: It's "Master BAITER" not Masturbator you perv :D Although getting on strangers' nerves is sometimes a positively orgasmic experience for me :angel:. So thanks, I always try my best.

I have to agree with dethtoll; have some principles and don't play the game at all. I did this with Bioshock after the whole DRM fiasco.
Yeah ... I just hope Eidos doesn't stick DRM in Thief 4 whenever that comes out :( . But how is used game market even going to continue with all these increasingly outlandish anti-piracy schemes? Won't it mean the death of the used game sales when one-time installs become standard practice.

I hope it requires Steam and breaks all Thiefgen's diseased little hearts.

We have health shields, not hearts.
And I honestly don't understand all the hatred surrounding Steam.

Me too. Might force them to scratch and claw their way out of the 90's. Finally.

What bothers me is that publishers think this sort of shit is okay to do to PC gamers, but 360 users would scream bloody murder if you tried to take their savegames away from them.
I'm pretty sure most 360 users wouldn't mind not having to worry about losing all their save games again the next time their box red-rings. And cloud saving for 360 would make development a whole fuck of a lot easier.

I dunno, not every 360 user has internet access. (Okay, a very small percentage, but still.) Or, they may not have access for the 360. Example: a friend of mine can't usually hook up his 360 because the router is on the other side of the house.
