would release naked executables for single player games if
piracy wasn't such a problem. It takes more work on their part
to create always-on DRM for a game that is basically single
player.  I too miss the old days but that was a different age
before broadband and torrents. The situation is a damn shame but
pirates are the underlying cause of it all. When I was in
college I knew there was a serious problem when no one was
buying pc games but everyone was playing them. These same poor
students could somehow manage to eat out at least twice a week
and drop a few twenties at the bar.  Edited 2013-03-12 15:58 UTC
