I wouldn't be telling the truth if I didn't say I wasn't disappointed in that response.

You just blew a fuse in my head.

Nup. Not in this lifetime.

yes, its just 10 dollars, tack it on instead of having DRM, absolutely.

I meant in general nothing is free, and whatever something costs, it reflect the cost-structure required to produce and sell it at some level.

A non-DRM version entirely defeats the purpose of DRM since it is (presumably) easier to crack. So paying an extra $10 for a second, non-DRM version is fantasy.

Instead, if the OSP scheme actually worked, then they'd have to figure out the difference in revenues with not having OSp, then sell SH5 for as much more as it would take to make the same amount of money. That might be $10, it might be less (hence selling more units), it might have to cost $200, who knows.

Yeah, I got $10 bucks toward that.

Pay an extra £10 (because you know that's what it'll be in Rip-Off Britain) for no DRM? Not a chance in hell. I think games are overpriced already without having to pay extra money to not get mugged.

As for paying more to get the feature set of a game I bought five years ago for less money?[1]
If you think /that's/ a good idea then I have a Prime Minister for you to pre-order. [2]

Small print:-

1. In real terms.

2. Anticipated release date 7th May 2010. No refunds.

I was thinking (few days ago) that i am willing (if i were to buy the game) to pay a bit more to get rid of this but now i am willing to pay double just to burn one infront of my eyes.
Yeah its a bit negative but all the news around the game reallllllly disapointed me.
