Beware the Frog

A une époque je voulais lancer un blog sur les jeux vidéo, et voici le résultat ; je ne poste plus tellement dessus, donc il ne sert pas à grand chose, mais je ne peux pas me résoudre à le fermer.

“Constant Internet Connection Required To Play Command & Conquer 4”

While C&C4 doesn’t include DRM restrictions, the game does require a constant internet connection in order to be played. And similar to the internet requirement applied by Ubisoft to their latest titles, if gamers are playing single-player or multiplayer, and the internet connection drops out, the player is kicked out of the game.

EA has defended this feature by pointing to the need to constantly update user stats.

Is it just me, or did EA manage to cram twice the amount of bullshit Ubisoft had in that explanation? “It’s not DRM.” Oh, that makes it all okay, then.

PC gaming was already dead enough, it really didn’t need all major publishers to actively fuck it deader.
