Any info on what DRM tgey are going to use?

Manhunt 2 is a fun one to me. It's like, "Okay, we're making several boatloads of money putting out games that center around shredding people in new and fun ways, but this one....this one is over the line, even for us." Rockstar seems to have turned into pussies real quick when that AO rating came down the pipe and the media wanted to use it as their madness trigger scapegoat d' jour. Just remembered, though. I have a computer with XP now, so I'm gonna find and buy the hell out of that when I can. Actually....maybe one copy for myself, then a copy to give away to a local church or something. Something fun.

I believe it's going to be tied to Steam.

Since gog is pretty much the only digital distributor that has the balls to carry AO-rated titles (I'm looking at you, Magna Cum Laude and Fahrenheit!), it would be a perfect fit!

Would certainly be preferable to buying it through some half-assed inferior service. Granted, I was able to find a legal download for it, but the combo of DRM, region-locking to the point of blocking people outside the U.S. from buying it all together, AND needing another account to juggle? Screw that. Only downside is, GOG could end up having to spend time and energy fending off deluded halfwits who think they're infernal harbingers for choosing to sell it.

Several Ubisoft titles like the Prince of Persia series. (Boxed copies.) The back of the boxes claim that they install somekind of software that prevents copying. I think it was StarForce? (Heard a lot of bad things about it messing over computers, thus avoided.)

The whole must be connected to UPlay to play Assassin’s Creed 2+ has kept me away from that series as well. >_>

Anything with GFWL... with the exclusion of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition. That game was the first and last game I bought with GFWL. (Never registered with GFWL so I didn't really get much out of that game... Shouldn't have had to install GFWL just so that I could save offline during single player.) >_<

I'd love to see a DRM free version of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition - Colonies Edition on GOG though, from what I briefly played of it the game looked fun. ^_^
(If I remember correctly the original release of Lost Planet itself doesn't require GFWL, only the Colonies Edition.)

When it first came out I avoided [url=http://www.gog.com/game/risen ]Risen[/url] because of it using DRM. Glad to see it in the GOG catalog. -_^

Anything with limited numbers of installs automatically causes me to lose interest. -_-

Nothing else comes immediately to mind but as a rule if the game requires me to create an account with one or more sites just to play it (Especially if it is single player) I avoid it. Also if the game installs some kind of strange 3rd part program as part of its DRM that runs even if the game itself is not running I will never buy it... >_<

Sorry for the rant. XD

Most specifically I would say the Total War games after Empire TW was released as Steam only. I have all the previous games and because of that I could not complete collecting them. It was disappointing to have to abandon this franchise.

I only got Steam because of Skyrim, not knowing the physical disc version required Steam. So now I only have a few games on Steam, and only limited to FPS or third person isometric shooter or melee type games that can use a gamepad. So, any of the strategy or space/flight simulation type games, and most RPGs I won’t ever buy because of the lingering disappointment of the TW franchise...

after my experience with two worlds 2, any game that have limited activation ( which is barely working) def on my red warning list

The last game I bought which had DRM was Skyrim, so...

Activation limits and GFWL have prevented me from buying games. The big ones I missed out on -
Borderlands DLC
Anno games
Dawn of War 2
Bioshock 2 (apparently switched to Steamworks recently. I'll likely get it at some point.)

The Borderlands games were designed for co-op multiplayer, but you can access all the DLC content in offline mode. I got the GOTY version of the first game and did not ever play the co-op part of the game, mostly due to people editing weapon stats. If you have and like the base game, do yourself a favor and get the DLC in a Steam sale.

I did pass on BlazBlue recently when it turned up on Steam. Looking like a good move on my part today.

Just thought of some other ones: Singularity (Mostly being uncertain what kind it uses.)
F.E.A.R.
Rage (Among other problems)
Dishonored
Sniper Elite V2
Okay, I think I've covered them all now.
Unreal Tournament III (Mostly because no one seems to know what kind it uses)

I skipped ARMA3 entirely because of this.

A long time I didn't look at Skyrim for the same reason, then I gave in and created a Steam account. Now I am back here :P

p.s. that doesn't mean I am against Steam or the company Valve behind it. The opposite, they made Half-Life, the base for the Counterstrike mod, which brought lots of joy and pain to my life. The engine became open source for development of many other versions of the game AND they actively try to port more games to other software platforms like Linux. It really comes down to these restrictions and every single second you play a game is recorded in their statistics etc.
