Yes, the oh-so-creative execs. EA has got too big anyway. Feel sorry for the workers, though.

I would buy Rockstar's GTA game because they have been so good and well worth the money. But once again (though not with previous PC GTAs), genuine paying gamers get screwed with having to install all the extra anti-piracy stuff, while pirated versions will be free of all that junkware.

That's a real shame. I remember getting many Transformers and other great toys of the 1980s from Woolworths, before they ever had videogames for sale.

Good ol' Lenslok... It stopped me playing my own game—Cascade Games' 1986 flight simulator, ACE.

I still have that goddamn piece of useless Lenslok plastic for some reason; maybe to remind me how bad copy protection can be to legitimate consumers.
