Gnostic: I heard that for the PC for diablo 3 is always online DRM, while the console version is offline

It looks like every big publisher is going the AODRM route.

That lead me to vote with my wallet on crowdfunding and stop buying from big publisher

RavenFB: Yeah... about that crowdfunding=No AODRM thing... not happening. Take a look at Elite:Dangerous. It's a kickstarter game, and it now requires an internet connection to play single player. Sure, it's just one example, but if I'm aware of an example for a game that I don't even own, I'm sure there are quite a few more. Honestly, if the laptop I am using now could actually play Elite: Dangerous, I would buy it. It looks amazing. Klink would get me through.
Yeah that's why I am quite upset about it. Look people even created a game regarding the Elite: Dangerous shenanigans

There are even Kickstarter creators that even try to sell a game to you twice for the cut content and uncut version.

Still there are more honest developers who tries their best to deliver in contrast to the minority unscrupulous developers, but the demography may change in the future. If that ever happens I will only support trustworthy developers who delivered like Larian, Obsidian, Inxile, stoics, torn banner, Klei, Yacht Club, Harebrain, subset......

Well it looks like I will not suffer the lack of devs to vote with my wallet either way.

I am very VERY happy to see other companies sell there games for cheap and DRM free like 3DRelms does, And best part is they are updating it and releasing a mac and linux version over time! and I hope more sites go this way as well follow what GOG made and pass the torch will make PC gaming a better place.
