Hmm, not to be mean, but as the name indicates, SIrus Online is an MMO.
I don't see how you could play an MMO without an Internet connection personally, but if you have ideas, feel free to enlighten us.
By DRM-free I'm guessing they mean as DRM free as an MMO can get, i.e. no Steamworks or other DRM on top of the internet connection.

Don't get me wrong I'm thoroughly unimpressed with that bundle too, and groupees as well, but bashing an MMO for requiring an internet connection is the height of stupidity imo.

With their preorder option they should just go ahead and properly rename this (and all) bundles to Pig In A Poke.

Nope. They have featured other games in the past (like Frozen Hearth) which required online activation or somesuch and they didn't use the DRM-Free icon. I'm not "bashing" the game for this; I'm just bashing Groupees.

WDN confirmed all games are Steam or Steam greenlight.

Dropping another $1.25 in the swear jar.

I don't see how requiring an internet connection is DRM for a game that you can only play online. We're not talking about an online activation for a single player game here.
The "Online" is right there in the title, it's not like it isn't completely obvious that the game will require an internet connection.

Maybe they shouldn't have labelled it DRM-free by your exacting standards, but in my opinion if an MMO only requires an internet connection and has no other DRM, it can label itself as DRM-free. So no, Groupees's not at fault here, at least for that.
They are definitely at fault for making a bundle that's so bad, however.

Wrong. Phantasy Star Online can be played offline. Naming isn't everything, you know.

I disagree, but let's leave it at that.

If you have Xboxes today's the last day to get the 6 freebies for April.

Arg. Next time I'll find somewhere to web copy paste this from. That was work. Who knew Activision had so many awful and very similar games! I miss River Raid and [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitfall_II:_Lost_Caverns]Pitfall II[/url]

You still had to authenticate with their patch server before starting the game though.

Not on the Gamecube, you don't.

That's right, my mistake. Still, the examples are few and far between. Most games that have online in the title mean just that.

I know, but there are always the damn exceptions. :)

Humble Weeklies were really good for me for months. It's all junk these days. (I use junk as a synonym for drm'd, already have on gog, or junk.)

Add games and books, comics or movies that have been bundled more than three times as junk, please.

Back OT again, more steam junk:
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell - 33% - $13.50
Saints Row 4: Game of Century - 75% - $7.50

All the Saints Row games - 75% - $14. Says 49 items, don't know exactly how much DLC you get, though. They could have missed some. DLC is 50% off, if you don't want to buy the whole thing again.

I just tried an experiment.

The new Humble Weekly is all Steam-junk, and I already have Race the Sun here on GOG. FarSky looked okay though...

So I bought the bundle for one penny.

It worked! I now have a DRM-free download of FarSky (and Race the Sun) added to my shelf. Nice doing business with you, Humble.
