Will never support this kind of DRM
If you are going to charge me $20 so that I can start up a client like Steam, download a game, then force me to be online and logged in to play it, as well as monitor and control what computers I install the game on, that is understandable. I don't like it, but it's understandable.
If you are going to charge me $60 for a retail box game that includes an install disc, and force me to be online and logged in to play it, as well as monitor and control what computers I install the game on, that is unforgivable. It should not be supported by anyone.
I would pay $60 for my own copy of the game. I would not pay $60 to rent it.
Down with this kind of DRM. Don't buy the games if they are like this. Don't support them in any way. Don't give them your money whatever you do. If you do, you are telling the company that their DRM schemes are just fine with you.
