The gawd-almighty merged DRM in Silent Hunter V thread

[Thomen]

Well, lets see how many people in the US had broadband by June 09?

79,014,100 Internet broadband connections as of June/09, per ITU

compared to:

227,719,000 Internet users as of Aug/09, 74.1% penetration, N-O.

That doesn't look like most to me..

Now, lets see how many play online games..

Almost 64 percent of Americans have played a video game in the past six months versus only 53 percent who have gone out to see a movie, according to a report from market research firm NPD Group.
.....
One factor for the surge in gaming is the number of new outlets, such as social networks and online gaming sites, said the report. Around 10 percent of people surveyed have played video games on a social network, while five percent have paid to download games online.

So, thats 10% that played games online. And that number includes every damn game that is out there and playable over the Inet.
