Grant Brunner: This has been an interesting year for gaming consoles. Both the PS4 and Xbox One were announced to huge fanfare, but it wasn’t polygons or frame rates that attracted the most attention. Instead, DRM has been the biggest point of contention leading up to the launch of the next-gen hardware. Microsoft came out strongly in favor of an all-digital future, but ended up being sent home with its tail between its legs. Now we’re in something of a holding pattern, one that likely isn’t going to change any time soon.
Life is Strange developer Don't Nod currently has five unannounced games in the pipeline.
PC hit Seed of Life is finally coming to consoles, with a release date announced for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation and Xbox.
The Sims 4 offers countless scenarios that make the game interesting. Power Up Gaming looks at the best Sims 4 challenges to spice up your gameplay.
One far fetched comment I've come across so far, is that it would prevent us from playing games...AT ALL!
So strict that I don't give a rats ass.
my #1 problem:
if i BUY something i should be able to do anything i want with it.
example..i buy a chicken nugget sandwich salad. i only eat half and i feel its the best dam salad ever created. i should be able to share it with my girl or throw it in her face or trade it with her for her taco (giggity). na mean i gave you my money and its mine to do what i please with it.
the day that I no longer own my games is the day I stop supporting the gaming industry. The great thing about the NES is I can still enjoy it and Mario 3 is just as fun as it was 20yrs ago.
As long as I can just put in a disc game into console at whatever time I wish and as many times (just like now with PS3 and Xbox 360) without paying or not simply being able to just play it because somebody else before me who BROUGHT that game before me LEGALLY at full RETAIL PRICE I do not care about about any other DRM. I just want to take disc out of that case. put it into console and play. Is that really hard? Why do all companies try to make this basic operation so complicated? I'm cool with digital DRM (steam is amazing) but please for the love of god make DRM as far as possible from physical.
