Development Info Alpha Protocol Forever is Gold

[hanssolo]

Wow, you know that's actually the first DRM since the days of entering words from manuals that I actually think is totally fair. You can 'rent' the game with all the restrictions of DRM if you are an obsessive 'must-have-it-now' kiddie, or you can get a genuine non-DRM complete ownership by waiting a couple of years (which is when I usually get my games anyway). So long as the delayed game is priced approrpriately (i.e. bargain bin), that seems like a decent compromise. The publishers get to make money off the morons who 'just MUST have the latest tech' who think that 18 month old tech is so horribly old-school to be unplayable, whereas the rest of us get games that aren't polluted by DRM.

I am fucking positive that anyone planning on playing the game will not wait 18 months to get the drm-free edition. In 18 months sales will be virtually non-existant, because anyone who's interested has already bought/pirated it.

I'll wait for the "demo," but I'll buy it if it's any good.

You are a p. standup guy, hope buying it for nothing will make you feel good about yourself

In anticipation of the first codexian reviews, we aren't expecting a lot so we could only be surprised. :D

If by a divine intervention it might be godlike good, then i will buy it. In any other case i won't.

It's good for what it is.

I almost agree with you, Azrael. By eventually removing the DRM and telling people so in advance, it is indeed a step forward. But I still think it puts some undue control of the used game market in the hands of the publisher. I guess this mostly won't be a problem, as it allows 5 simultaneous installs and you can always uninstall. But I think at least a few used copies floating around will have all installs taken and now way of contacting the original owner...

Well now, if the the game turns out to be good enough to warrant a purchase, I'll do so with this bit of news on future of its DRM.

In retrospect, suits at SEGA must have thought that the game might be a poor seller to have resorted to such a casual promise.
