Re: Free stuff

said by Karl Bode:

Yeah I'm still not sure what to make of that:

»www.bittorrent.com/users/eidos/t···715a6bc/

A new game, being offered free?

Is that a link to a pirated copy being pushed via 'legit' store front?
Cool a game for free.!! I'll get right on that..NOT!!!

Those who had the distinct pleasure of getting root kitted through the purchase of legit Sony BMI Cd's. One can just imagine, the trojan-ed, root kitted, virus, ad infested mess offered in a free game. Just my opinion though. Thanks, but no thanks

Its the Democrats fault. In fact it is the Speaker of House Polosi fault. Everything is the Democrats fault. Everything. Just like Everything was the Republicans Fault when they were in power.

I have no worries here, I tried one download... it was crap!

Acronis can make it go away if I was to have ran it, but avast didn't like it so it's toast!

Not that it would have been allowed to run anyways... something would have caught it. LOL!

Wanna know something ironic?
The REAL warezed games are clean compared to this! WTF?

Illegal is safer than legal?

Try Media has a new feature 'in game advertising'

Wow I just can't believe I was able to play games without it until now!

Karl the thing is I have invested a lot of time downloading this POS. I could have downloaded a pirated (read working) copy of the game for free.

It's still easier for users to either pirate a game, or order it from Amazon....until they either make DRM transparent (or eliminate it entirely), I just don't see these services doing anything of worth....

LOL, such irony is a beautiful thing.

Warezed games offers a clean bill of health, removes the Cd check. Legally purchased games should come stock this way, because it offers value by protecting the Cd at the same time.

In addition to being fully functional, no activation required, hassle free version, just install then frag the chit out of anything that moves. :P

Edit spelling error correction meant value, not valve.

Agree. Theres too many of "us" in the know that will spread the word of "F DRM."

or if your a medic, heal the chit out of anything that bleeds. =)

I think its also interesting how "updates" and patches are getting their own pirate channels too. As in a certain game, where you've got to DL a critical patch or update, the updates given to you clean or just embedded already. Love these tubes.

Thanks for the info. I will buy that game now and I am not a big fan of it but I want to support DRM free content.

yea Bethesda to a gamble and it payed off
sure it was downloaded ALOT but in the end its one of the best selling PC games EVER

and i will be buying the new expansion pack coming out
friend got me the add-on pack that has all the for download content on one DVD and i got free horse armor when i got mine lol

i hope you have a good PC though its a very demanding game at higher settings but worth it

also i think i payed like 60 for the special edition and i have put in almost 300 hours of game play since it came out
and i still havent "saved the world"

so yea if more game devs would do stuff like that im more likely to go buy it

the other side of the coin when i say vids of X3 (space sim PC game not the x-men movie) i realy wanted to get it
then i heard it had starforce guess what i wont buy it now
though now its on steam and i may get it thay way since that ver does NOT have starforce in it

Steam is your friend if you want some good games with out all the copy protection crap

E6600, 8800GTX and 3 GB of DDRAM should do it

Wow BT should at least tell people it's a demo/trial game.
Also I read the EULA and there was nothing about Try Media, Active Mark or any advertising (it was Eidos and MS DirectX EULA *only*).

I had to download DirectX SDK for the game to start. Only to get that screen.

Yeah I thought it was something like that. A 2 gig download, with no reference that it's a demo.....that's a bit annoying.....

No it's 5.17 GB download. Plus 500 MB for DirectX SDK.
Also I removed Bittorent using Control Panel and the uninstall finished OK.

But Bittorrent was never removed, the folder in Program Files was intact and I had to manually remove it.
