There are other ways to limit game sharing too. Games can be made so they can only be played by one PS3 at a time or by locking play to one PS3 every 24 hours.DonMigs85 said:I know some games say "This game can be used by users other than the original content owner" blah blah.
The Crimson Kid said:This better not catch on in the PlayStation Store. Being able to play all of my downloaded games whether or not I am online has led me to buy more games on PSN lately than XBLA. Too many times I have found myself locked out of most of my games on XBLA just because the internet was down.
PSN's setup with this issue is vastly superior to XBLA and I want it to stay that way.
You do when you change HDDs or 360s and don't get the licenses transferred.Kafel said:That's bullshit. You don't need to be connected to play XBLA games.
wsippel said:Is it? I could share audio CDs, or DVDs - basically anything. But that doesn't mean I'm allowed to do so. The default PSN license states that you buy stuff for my own, personal use. That's as clear as it gets.

There are multiple ways to disable a game from being shared on PSN, including allowing game companies to use their own DRM if they want.soldat7 said:Then why does Sony allow game sharing in the first place? Like I said, that's messed up. Sony is a closed platform; they have complete control and should disable game sharing if they and the publishers don't want people using it. Don't keep the feature enabled and cram the rules (saying you can actually never use said feature) in a bunch of legalese.

Oh I agree, just pointing out that there are cases where one couldn't play XBLA games without being connected.Wario64 said:Which is the user's fault at that point for not transferring the licenses. Unless you switched X360s twice within a year for whatever reason.

So it is going to have Master Chef, Sam Fisher, Altair, and John Madden! Amazing!vocab said:Half Life 2: Episode 3 comes with Steamworks, GWFL, TAGES, Securom, Starforce, Ubisoft drm, EA periodic check DRM. With a 1 time activation!
I disagree. I really don't think this decision was made by the actual team which designed this game. Those guys have seen enough failures and this is one of their last chances, I'd imagine. BCR was fantastic and this type of game deserves support even in the face of shitty DRM.Mrbob said:When will these companies learn screwing customers with lame DRM never works?
Bomb away now, BCR2. You don't deserve any sales.
Fatshark? Have they made anything other than this and Lead & Gold (which did quite well from my understanding)?dark10x said:I disagree.

It's all ex-Grin employees, though, and they all came off of quite a few failures.notworksafe said:Fatshark? Have they made anything other than this and Lead & Gold (which did quite well from my understanding)?

It was my understanding that the studio only took a few of the lead dudes from GRIN.dark10x said:It's all ex-Grin employees, though, and they all came off of quite a few failures.
snorggy said:i hate DRM that requires me to jump through hoops as much as the next guy, but asking you to keep yourself logged into psn while you play the game isn't asking a whole lot...

So I guess you can also only play this one with the account which bought it?
