Golden, that was classic. Had me laughing at a few points.
Makes me feel like I'm not missing anything at all through maintaining my DRM stance.
Can't say I'm surprised, either. Companies push out all sorts of crap because they
know the gameplaying public will purchase them like a bunch of Pavlovian crack addicts. SH is no exception. Hell, they even put a turd on the plate they served and called it OSP, and
still people lap it up.
We deserve every dreadful, buggy, poorly thought out, shabbily coded and overpriced piece of sheisse we get because we continue to consume them every single time. It's like we're Charlie Brown and developers/publishers are Lucy.
"C'mon, THIS time you can kick a goal - we PROMISE we'll deliver the ball right where you want it"
Of course, poor old Charlie ends up on his arse every time.
*sigh*
Bring back MicroProse etc etc, the devs/publishers who couldn't rely on patches so had to release their games in a fit state, and when machines didn't have the god-like graphics of today that are used as a smokescreen to hide how poorly finished the games behind them are.
Rant over....
