Yeah, I downloaded the installer, but was like, "Hrm."Dat Epic Games DRM launcher, doe.
Yeah, Shadow Complex is a fantastic game but this... Ehhh... The BC functionality on Xone is enough for me.Yeah, I'm really displeased about that nonsense. I won't even buy Ubisoft PC games these days because it's simply not worth the hassle so why would I bother for one (albeit great) game? It's also supposedly a pretty bare port and nothing really remastered about it.
I'll just stick to playing my 360 copy on the XB1 until there's a 75% sale on next gen.
Especially when people are saying they didn't do a thing to remaster it.Yeah, Shadow Complex is a fantastic game but this... Ehhh... The BC functionality on Xone is enough for me.
Have to confess... I don't know exactly what problems DRM creates. I hear people bashing it all the time, but I'm not 100% sure why.Dat Epic Games DRM launcher, doe.
Well it depends. DRM can be fairly minor like Steam but it can also be extremely invasive affecting your performance, monitoring your activity, and scanning your computer. Some of the worst cases have been known to cause actual physical damage to hardware.Have to confess... I don't know exactly what problems DRM creates.

And with Shadow Complex being free, why is DRM a big deal?
Maybe they';re referring to their mastery of playing the game. They used to be masters at it, but then got all caught up in making other games and what not, so their skills fell off. Now that its ported to PC and they have some free time, its been remastered.Especially when people are saying they didn't do a thing to remaster it.
Easy tiger ... we don't actually play games in these parts, we just hoard them.Anyone else having problems with this crashing after you hit the Launch button? It gives me some sort of Win32 error.

I think in this case the complaints are more about having to install yet another client software program when most people already have Steam installed and if you want to play EA or Ubisoft games on the pc you also have to install their client software.Have to confess...

Remember SecuROM? Shit was ed.Well it depends. DRM can be fairly minor like Steam but it can also be extremely invasive affecting your performance, monitoring your activity, and scanning your computer. Some of the worst cases have been known to cause actual physical damage to hardware.
Most people find Steam to be about the right level where it's as simple as being logged into an account and doesn't force anything on top of that (though publishers can still put other DRM in their games on Steam) and it's a fair trade off for the level of convenience Steam presents.
Most publishers would rather not have to split their profits with Valve, hence creating their own distribution networks or clients. The standard Steam contract is 33% of revenue, I think, at least for indie developers. I would definitely feel like that's a huge piece of the pie if I was a developer or publisher.I think in this case the complaints are more about having to install yet another client software program when most people already have Steam installed and if you want to play EA or Ubisoft games on the pc you also have to install their client software.
It just seems excessive and unnecessary to have to install yet another client software program just to play one game.
I think most of us also do not want every single publishing house to get any ideas about all wanting to push their own software clients resulting in people having to have 20 or 30 clients installed.
Oh I avoid buying from Steam whenever I can, and I don't even really mind Origin or Uplay. They kinda suck, but only because they're segregated from the vast majority of my library.Most publishers would rather not have to split their profits with Valve, hence creating their own distribution networks or clients.

I thought you were serious until the DRM comment. Yeah. this is making games harder to track, and then not only do I buy for multiple platforms, but I end up purchasing it multiple times for just the PC. DRM sucks on consoles too though.,I prefer each company has their own client so I can keep track of my games that way. Otherwise I would loose them or forget I owned them and it would be a disaster. I just use my same username everywhere and the same password which is my initials followed by my birthday and then hitler's birthday. I like DRM because it protects my rights and keeps the bad men outside at night.
Yeah, that's what I was referencing. So bad and in extreme cases would cause physical damage to components.Remember SecuROM? Shit was ed.
