CaptainGyro: I find this thread deeply disturbing due to the fact that two posters weren't sure if svmariscal was joking.
c'mon man
Who was the second person? I only count one. But yes, many funnies have ensued.

I find lately I'm reluctant to buy an indie game because it might end up in a humble indie bundle later. That and I'm not so well off financially.
Yes, the curmudgeon attitude, slippers, and muslix comes later. GOG will change you alright, all hail GOG!

I don't name names because I am super classy. 2 different people said "please tell me this is a joke" though

Kabuto's reply was metahumor, though, and I'm deeply disturbed that you didn't get that.

Asbeau: What's so awesome about it? He's missing out on a game he might like just because it has simple online activation DRM. Seems rather silly to me.
Realistically, unless the game market crashes in a major way, anybody will only get to play half the games that get released in their lifetime (and I count retirement).

Might as well be selective about it.

Personally, I was only gonna buy games from 1 distributor anyways for budget reasons and given my allergy for forking more than 25$ per game title (part of it is budget and part of it is just a principle thing... I consider forking 40$-50$ to be overpriced for a game, no matter how good the game is), I was a retro-gamer well before GOG came along.

I don't even want to look at the catalog of the other distributors. That is one temptation that I do not need.

And yes, I approve of GOG's business model. After getting burned buying movies on VHS and then DVD (Blue-Ray can go play with itself), buying music on cassettes and then CDs, I welcome virtual "we'll keep the medium working, but your games will also work if we go kaput" policy that GOG has.

Whatever can maximize the longevity of my purchase (which for intellectual property should be long).

PMIK: DCS Blackshark is 66% off on steam. It's a game I've been meaning to pick up for a long time. At just over $6 it's a bargain.

In the past I would have just bought it. Now, I'm thinking "Who cares that its cheap when its trapped to that DRM!"

I am now prepared to pay 4 times the price, if necessary, to get a proper version of the game.

What is happening to me?

the_bard: Where might I find another deal like this on this game? I'm pretty butthurt that I missed it.
Don't be so butthurt. I was actually doubly pleased that I skipped buying it because I then discovered that there is an updated version, DCS Black Shark 2 with better graphics and features. Currently I can only see it at the developers site, $20 for an upgrade or $40 stand-alone.

Anyway I've bought enemy engaged from GOG so that should appease my helicopter sim needs.

Ah, I see it now. The sly curler edited his post.

spindown: I'm deeply disturbed
Yes we already knew that . You don't have to go around announcing it.
