That's because it not being so was a mistake, that's no fault of auto-updating. Using a mistake you could've abused to prove your point is meager at best.

Ah, yes. I forgot about that. Well, if someone would like to play the mess Skyrim was before the first update just to have it "DRM free", then I am certainly not going to stop them :)

(and I completely misunderstood fortune_p_dawg's post...)

Oh, so they just so happened to forget to implement the DRM on a game that cost tens-of-millions to make ON LAUNCH DAY?! What?!

I don't buy it. I can even almost recall reading an interview with Todd Howard kind of championing the fact that there wouldn't be any DRM (though he could've simply been talking about the more intrusive 3rd party stuff).

Did the CEG tie-in not come down in a Steam auto-update, or did people download this little nugget of code themselves? I can't honestly imagine people purposefully DRMing their game when it comes with none. So how is that not the fault of the auto-update process?

And I already did prove my point prior to my initial post about Skyrim, so pppthpbthpp!


True enough. It was a buggy piece-and-a-half before its updates.

A lack of imagination on your part isn't really my problem. There's a large number of people out there who care a lot more about their game, which they already have on Steam anyway, being up to date patch-wise than they care about it being DRM-free so some day if they perhaps needed it, they could run it without needing Steam.

Couldn't help but feel the vitrol in that first sentence there. And in your previous post.

Ow look, he has some imagination after all.

And with that attempt to change what was discussion into some display of emotions instead I venture you're out of actual arguments.

Voted!

i dont like steam not because it is an acount im not a big fan of drm but i dont live were it is easy to get high speed internet with out loosing an arm and a leg for the equipment un like tose of you fellow gamers out thier who have acces to cabel its easier if i can purchase a game and download it at mcdonalds and then play it at home anytime i want thats why i love gog and its not a single time loggin if you ever have to uninstall and reinstall its hourse plus to get the game to download over dial up and i can just back up the games frome gog on an external usb drive and bang when somthing like that happens i have them

I don't have any for a Terraria or Starbound GOG release , I asked too many times to developers and no answer .

Terraria always had steamworks bullcrap
Starbound will be drm free once it hits final release - check the website.

I already bought it when pre-order stage and playing on Steam but still far from stable game as Terraria .

I would love to see Starbound on GOG!
