I'm tempted to ignore the reasons they say caused this. Id rather believe that their DRM schemes are comming back to bite them in the arse.

Go right ahead and believe it -- because that is indeed the real reason behind all of this.

They are suffering from public backlash... just as we have been predicting on this board for the past six years.

Another good reason to pirate stuff.

Mass Effect 3 on PC requires EA’s Origin service be installed

I refuse to go anywhere near STEAM, and for some reason i should allow Origin on my box? Nuh-uh!

[Tessera]

Mass Effect 3 is almost guaranteed to be shit, anyway.

But no worries. Somebody will crack it. And it'll be torrent'ed the very next day.

Maybe one day, these assholes will get the message:

WE ARE SICK AND TIRED OF BEING EXPLOITED.

I send you a PM about this my friend Could you answer it ?

Yarrrr matey!!! I wanna be a mighty pirate! I wanna stick it to the man!
Now that my gaming rig is near completion I want to get back the games I sold on ebay through pirating.
Any tips, tricks, pointers, dos and donts that can be handed out to this young scallywag in the art of pirating? A tutorial of some kind. I saw the VTMB link somewhere around here. I just want to fill up my hdd with games and maybe a little or a lotta porn.

i can't afford these games anyway so they aren't losing any money off of me pirating anything (hypothetically of course heh)

[BloodyKidney]

I cant afford these games either but I'd still buy quality stuff from indie game designers. I shelled out 45 bucks for Liesure Suit Larry redo, Shadowrun Returns,  and Wasteland 2 which all were kickstarter funded games that have not been made yet. When it comes to the big corps that try to squeeze the pennies out of your pocket for shite quality games I say Fuck em. I've been using piratebay to check out mediocre stuff lately.

I do but only after a set time they have been released. shouldn't pay for a game thats 10 years old no one plays anymore.

[NeonLight]

I do buy some indie games, because I hope to be indie developer meself someday and I'd like people to buy games from me. I'd buy all games, but I don't have the funds for that.
