Why do game companies keep using DRM?

    ...why didn't you just rent the game?
  • DYREDYRE
    Renting games still costs money and requires you to either go to a store or wait for it to come in the mail.  Either way it's more expensive and less convenient than just downloading a ROM.  So... yeah.  There really isn't much of a good reason to rent it.

    People still rent games?
  • DYREDYRE
    No.
  • TnopheliaTnophelia
    YES.avi

    Because downloading Killzone 2 for Valentine's Day would've been stupid.

    Tnoph: I didn't rent because 1) it didn't occur to me, and 2) They mostly stock things like, "My Little Pony Craptacular Video Game" and "Spider Man has been Bastardized". Not sure where they find the crap games (seriously, it isn't any recognizable spider man game. It is one I have never even heard of before)

    To be or not to be? That is the question.
    I used to rent games when I was young, but then I stopped renting them all of a sudden.

    DRM bugs me big time, and I would wish that developers would follow the Galactic Civilizations II option of removing DRM.

    No DRM = free copies for everyone, which is good for gamers because they like getting everything for free and instantly.

    No DRM also means people don't get screwed because they chose to buy it instead of pirating it though, so there's that.

    Also, everyone likes getting everything for free.
