I think this is the end for me

In this last years,i have become deeply concerned about all those DRM in various game.
I think this trend will only get worse,and really end my gaming days.
I can say that i own only ORIGINAL copy of game.
My player career started in the 1998,Unreal the first game i bought,i REALLY miss those days.
I purchased a complete game.

-Now if i buy a game i NEED to install some patch because the game has heavy fault from the beginning.

-I NEED to download some DLC because some mods use it.This trend started for me with Fallout 3,it's not the end of the world but...

i miss some mod.It's the only game i own with some kind of online arrassement,the infamous Windows Live,and i can say i buyed it only when i understood i can have an OFFLINE account.

-I NEED to authenticate online my install (I can accept to go online...ONE time)

Like many other i have two rigs,one for the net,and one for games.
But my connection it's not stable,and i live in a big city,and even if i asked many times at my ISP what is happening when i have some unexplainable down time or heavy slow down,they never explain anything.
I've been in this situation for many years.
Now,many said that this is the 21 century,but i can say that here,where i live,it's NOT YET the 2010,regarding technology.
It could be true in some big country like the U.S.A. where it seems that technology and innovation are easy to get,but where i live(i am from europe)it's NOT that easy.
I've waited almost two years for my ADSL

.
And one time i've lost TOTALLY my connection and phone for two months because they decided that it whas too cheap for them and simply they shut down the service,without any explanation!!!
And like me there are several others people in all my country in the same condition.

I can't stand to be in the hand of others to play my game.
I purchase a product to enjoy it,not to literally eat my liver in rage because something i can't control does not work.

I Buyed and loved Silent Hunter 3

I Buyed Silent Hunter 4 because,despite some bad comment on the net i was sure this glorious community would have made the game better.And i even buyed the addon U-Boat mission.I have to say a big "THANK YOU" to the many modders in this community.

And many other game from other publisher...i would really liked to buy,but...

Now...

Well,it was fun till it lasted.

Like many other i have two option

1)-Go ahead and throw my hard earned money in what it seems a big gaming nuisance.

2)-Simply move to other thing...

I've loved the community here,and even if i don't post often,i check it every day,and i will continue to do so.
Till the end!
Good luck everyone.
