The arcade classics that birthed this industry were often simple enough that many people figured how to play the game in a matter of seconds. Even the more "complex" features of Galaga were demystified by a few minutes of game play and chance shots.

Rethink the game in Gaming JoeUser Forums

Software protection becoming an annoyance in PC Gaming JoeUser Forums

It appears companies are talking a lot lately about the same crappy game restraints we as gamers have been trying get rid of. These wastes of time known my names like "DRM" and "activation" are once again becoming popular conversation pieces in the wrong circles. I get the point, it's to undermine piracy. But let's consider one thing. FACT: The games still get pirated. So what it REALLY does is piss off paying customers. To the point were the adverse effect happens. Take Spore fo
