Yeah, they are racists!!!
Would daughter not being able to play TombRaider while I play CIV5 count as a horror story?

Maxvorstadt: ...
I had trouble with TES: Oblivion. Normally, you don`t await troubles when deinstalling a game, without having the disc in the drive, right? Well, Oblivion refused to deinstall without disc.
...
That was my horror story as well.
I had just moved and things were still in boxes (certainly not organized as anyone who packs last minute understands).
I needed room on my drive for something (I can't recall what, but 99% sure it was something nontrivial), and I couldn't uninstall the Oblivion without the 1st disc. I never used those discs again. I did end up buying it on Steam when it was on discount but lost a LOT of faith in Bethesda that day which costs them sales from me for Skyrim and Elder Scrolls Online.

I've stayed away from DRM ever since. My only potential concession has been using Steam recently to support Linux when GOG doesn't provide one. But even then, I check to see if DRM is included beyond the normal Steam checks (I won't be duped into another Securom ever again).

Maxvorstadt: Ah, then I`m happy that I never bought Bioshock 2! I wanted to play it, but I read on the package, that it even doesn`t allow you to save without registration, so I never bought it. Wondering if it is on steam now and if it still needs that?

KiNgBrAdLeY7: 1) It IS on steam.
2) They removed some layers of DRM (didn't bother to search on it, though), back when Batman Asylum and City had that, too.

Bioshock 2 is full of glitches and issues. Many players claim it is not very stable or something (again i didn't bother to search more). Also, its devs gave the finger to pc users by announcing that Minerva's Den and other DLC will be console exclusives, but people made a huge ruckus and they were technically forced to abide by their initial promise, to deliver the extra content on pc, too...

It is a good game, though, as a concept, at least. Out of the entire series, i liked 2 the most. Even though i didn't beat it once, yet. There is a torrent version with all DLCs incorporated, too!
I would love DRM-free versions of both of the first two Bioshock games with all the DLC. I know it's more contentious, but I really like 2 more than 1 due to the overall gameplay improvements, and I think the Minerva's Den DLC probably has the best plot of the whole series.

I wish that companies didn't make it so hard to play certain games by jumping through so many hoops, especially games with an offline campaign.
When I had first installed the demos of Bioshock and Tomb Raider: Anniversary, both had secretly installed SecuROM on my computer. It truly was a nightmare trying to get rid of that horrid DRM. This was around 2007.
I've had my issues with DRM stuff, but I don't know how often it's been because something wasn't labeled properly and more by the fact that it existed.

I was surprised to see how aggressively it was integrated into the e-book scene from the beginning. I completely stopped buying e-books after finding out what a PITA it was to deal with even though I would typically prefer to get books that way.

dtgreene: (Sorry to those not in the US, but they are unfortunately only looking for stories from those in the USA.)
Whatever have I done for this?
I don't have any horror stories, but I do wish them the best.
Hmm, I suppose the DEFCON issue here on GOG sounds like it would count in terms of stories they are looking for.

GOG thankfully made it all good for me (refund) - but it did happen as described in that list:

* Had DRM but wasn't disclosed.
* Caused trouble later
Horror story? No. Pretty-irritated-about-it-at-the-time story? Sure.

I see what you did there...

Why is the OP downvoted? This is an interesting thing to now and something GOGers would be interested in.

That would still count, probably. I'd put it under inadequate disclosure - you didn't realize what a problem it would be, so that's inadequate.

What kind of DRM do e-books have?
I've read about Amazon being able to remove your purchased books remotely.

Steam? And the games are on one account? then no, it is in fact you who are in breach here.

From the original post "Where the DRM's existence and extent were not disclosed". What you describe is against the TOS, and it is quite clear in this regard.
