Now I'm not a scientist... and putting aside the fact that a graph does not prove any correlation... am I dumb or the graph actually suggests that there is no correlation at all between Linux and cheat? :neutral:The drop trend started way before the Linux support removal and the trend continued practically unaltered after the removal.

Uhmmmm... it smells like Microsoft is going to pull off another GFWL leveraging Battle.net this time.
Let's hope they do it right this time. It won't (and can't) be worse than EGS that is for sure.

I'm sure the second iteration will be awesome like the first one. I'm more skeptical that the game devs will actually exploit its functionalities when console market is still bound to abxy.

On the other hand these policies make me remember the time when on line stores were not here, you would just buy a CD, in whatever country you wanted, and then download a file with the patch if you wanted.
And yes, I would say this was a hassle. But was it more hussle than what it is (artificially produced) now? I don't think so.
It's a Service Issue, not a technology problem.

Yeah a lot of misinformation on this. Ofc one will always buy just a license. The actual consumer battle is on what this license enables you to do (play on whatever machine you want, mod the game, play off line, perpetual validity, etc). Legislators should just focus on this.
