What a Strange Feeling (It Was)

Think of this as sort of what you might hear if you went to an AA meeting. It might help some of you who want to be true to your principles but find it difficult to resist the urges of temptation.

Hi everyone. I had to go to Best Buy today to pick up a new power strip for my computer workstation. While I was there I visited the software section and there on the shelf was a copy of Silent Hunter 5 and Bioshock 2; both of which use the new "constant internet connection" DRM. I picked both of them up and looked at the boxes and then returned them to the shelf. I paid for the power strip and left the store.

It felt so strange not buying the two games. But I will not support this DRM crap. I bet Far Cry 3 will have it too and I won't buy that either as incredible as Far Cry 2 has been for me. So stick to your guns people and vote with your wallet. This is the only voice you have and only one opportunity to make it count. Once you cross the line it's lost forever.
