I can respect your stance on Piracy but can you respect FD stance on providing DRM-free/offline game?
No Single Player Offline Mode then? [Part 2]

Uh, well, okay, name me some online only mmo's that allow you to mod their game.
What SybSynk said and: The definition of culture does not include FREE
1. the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.
2. that which is excellent in the arts, manners, etc.
3. a particular form or stage of civilization, as that of a certain nation or period:
Greek culture.
4. development or improvement of the mind by education or training.
5. the behaviors and beliefs characteristic of a particular social, ethnic, or age group:
the youth culture; the drug culture.
6. Anthropology. the sum total of ways of living built up by a group of human beings and transmitted from one generation to another.

Well when you spend half your life come big up with the next big idea and see it taken by people that believe it is theirs by right then come back and say if you still believe this.
I might be wrong, but Wolfenstien?
If that was what you were initially trying to argue then I wouldn't have said it was tosh. You were suggesting that anti-piracy measures prevent modding. Nice try.

Bait and switched his argument, irony is delicious.
This is the XXI century.
I expect people not to have to work whatsoever.
A whuffie-based economy would probably be a good compromise, though.
It's free publicity.
And if I'm getting it for free (and if people want something that can be infinitely copied for free no amount of DRM is going to stop them) it'll be because I don't think it's worth more (or because I'm not given the opportunity to pay what I would consider a fair price).
In any case, I'll share Gaiman's video again:

Sorry don't understand. I need enlightenment on this point.
Sorry, don't try to tell me what I was writing. I was talking in reference to THIS game. No offline means no modding. So, nice try.
It's not true in other online games, why should it be true here?
What I'm trying to explain you is that clicking "I agree" doesn't mean a thing for clauses that contradict existing laws and madates.
In the EU there has been a decision that resale of digital game downloads are permitted. So you can definitely sell a game. If the game is "tied" to an account, I guess that the onus is on the company to "untie" it. Otherwise it denies you your legal right on selling the game.
And yes, the bundled account thing is still a bit blurry. But historically, EU judicial system sides with the consumer on such disputes.
That is sooo ouch. I've seen ebooks I have written being sold by the same online retailer for 10 times the cost of what I'm selling it for. I didn't include DRM in the costs.
I don't care if its the 31st century its still theft!
To have the century quoted as though it makes a difference to their argument by someone arguing for a offline mode in a multiplayer game tho is a tad silly, don't you think?
Remove the word "culture" then, if you want:
What makes us human (as opposed to most other animals) is the free exchange of information, to the mutual enrichment of all involved (society).
Trying to restrict that goes against against progress, against basic human nature.
And it doesn't work, anyway.
If it still benefits everyone (which includes me), why not? (I'd still like attribution, though, but that's just my personal vanity.)
If they restrict it though, then that's precisely the situation I was criticising in the first place.
When will all the refunds be complete and all these people's accounts deleted?
Still surprised by human vices? You should probably give Marquis de Sade a try. And don't worry, it's an 100% offline experience ;-)
Not sure, you know what would be a great idea? You should email Frontier Developments and ask that question! You can even ask them to please hurry up!!!!

That sounds rather Stalinistic don't you think?
