StingingVelvet: I bet on dial-up it would take DAYS! As a bonus GFWL updates are only available from within the game at first, meaning you would have to leave the game running that long to update! Can you imagine how fun that would be? Like a bullet of joy shot right into your skull!
Is it possible to buy GFWL separately, or do I need to buy them bundled? I'm not interested in Bulletstorm, but GFWL sounds p. awesome.

Roman5: well...the game wouldnt work on my PC due to Starforce
Are you referring to Dreamfall? I have the original TLJ and it didn't come with Starforce.

What a splendidly accurate figure of speech. Such eloquence deserves a reward. Please accept this magical amulet of sarcasm mastery and these 750 experience points.

KneeTheCap: I haven't been able to get Mass Effect 1 to work. It just dies. I'm not sure is it because of DRM or not, but it just won't work. And I have 2 of them. Retail and digital one.
Well, if DRM wasn't such an awesome feature, I'd recommend you try an unnofficial fix to bypass it to see if it gets rid of the problem. But really, who in their right mind would want to deprive themselves of the inimitable experience which only DRM can provide?

It took me 2 days of constant emailin' with support to get one unnamed game to work *krhm*Patrician4*Krhm* and that was because it didn't feel like to validate itself and because on that, wouldn't start. Fun times.

Now I'm fighting with one game that uses SecuRom. Gosh...

Honestly, WHY do they need to put those "protections" in their games, while it's obvious it only affects buying customers?

So, thank god for GOG...

Edit. Oh, and don't even get me started with disc check. that is a different world altogether...
Just crack the game (there are a few cracks for ME1 easily available), as far as I know, it isnt against the law to crack a game you already own. (they may not like it, but what would they "charge" you with?)

My sarcasm detector is going off. Maybe the DRM did it?

Navagon: Dead Island is going to be awesome. Procedural damage to zombified bitches, ffs.
I think we should all be thankful that Navagon has found an outlet for his tendency toward violence against women. Praise video games!

Kurina: If it is anything like older GFWL titles, it won't even display information or a proper progress bar when updating, leaving you to wonder if the game is frozen or what. Had this issue with a game just recently until I later found out it was just simply a large patch.
You've got to be kidding... Wow, that is terrible! I mean, MS has done some shoddy stuff in the past but that's pretty abysmal even for them. I don't think I've ended up with a GfWL game in some time, I never recall having issues with it but every story I hear is about how bad it sucks ass.
