but I'm not even a gamer, hell I'm not even qualified to really have an opinion on this new age shit they're doing nowadays, I owned one game on the life cycle of my PS3 and it was Gran Turismo...
but I will tell you this one thing, the last time I was a gamer was when N64 ruled.... and I grew up in the SNES Super Mario World era, and I don't think what I'm about to say sounds arrogant at all, I consider myself a true legitimate gamer almost solely based on the fact that I grew up in the golden age of video gaming, a time where almost all the rules were written by that generation
so as a child of that generation, when my gut reaction tells me something stinks, I arrogantly oblige it, I really don't hold much regard of today's core video gamers, it's hard too when the their world revolves around running around with a gun and shooting things... that's the last guy I'll let lecture me on the future of gaming, a soulless quick scoping, button clicking robot
i'm the guy stuck in the old school, but you sound like due to your bias you're the one heavily ignoring what seems to be common sense on this subject

I'm brushing it off because it has yet to be proven. People have been getting mad about shit on the internet FOREVER. It's part of the internet. But it almost NEVER has anything to do with actual reality. SOMETIMES it does - and it may here. The point is, we don't know.
My only point is that there is NO REASON to join in on the hysteria. If YOU don't like disc based DRM, then don't buy it. That's it. It's that simple. Make your own choice based on your own needs. Joining in on the hysteria, posting links to people and bloggers yelling their heads off is pointless and irrelevant.
It's like what I said before when people were saying shit about DRM - rightfully so if they disagree with it - but at the same time assuming Sony wouldn't do the same. In the past, Sony was INSANE with DRM. Do you not remember that they would actually put rootkit viruses on their CD's? In the end they didn't do it, but it was
stupid to assume that they wouldn't. Or that they would. All I ever said was wait and see.
So if I have a 'bias' it is towards logic and reality. If that's an issue for you, fine by me, keep getting mad.
