The future of gaming:
- Intrusive home calling DRM that will only let you play your game on one single device. If that device breaks or you want to play on another device you have to buy the game again.
- Must be connected to the Internet to play.
- Savegames are stored online.
- Oobviously no resale possible.
- Montly cost for online play.
- DLC that should have been included in the original game.
- A game mode where the game practically plays itself so everybody can feel pro.
- Lots of achievements everywhere for everything so you can feel like you are doing something of value.
- No game over. You respawn a few feet back or something like that.
- 5 hours of gameplay.
- The only way to get user created content is to buy it through the distributors online store so that the distributor can steal some of the money. Will also probably mean no more nude mods. :(
- A time bomb that makes the game unplayable after X amount of time so you must buy the next game. At least the servers for online play will be taken down after a while. (user hosted servers? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH no)

Oh wait, all of this is already here except for the user mod store but that's coming. :(

That felt good. I needed a little rant. :D

Therapeutic, ain't it?

The private server is a major blow. Say good bye to any multiplayer with mods.
