Kodiak, thanks for the link. I know what they said but i didn't have an actual link.
The things is, a lot of people don't know and want to ask. This has been the main forum for this game the past few years and we have quite a few newcomers (i see a lot of people with very low post counts the last couple of days) who were probably told that this is the place to get some of their questions answered.
Also, even "long-timers" like us don't know a lot about how this one time activation will work. Is it a limited activation/deactivation scheme or not? Does it have optional automatic or manual patching or is it forced autopatching like RoF? Etc, etc, etc.
Stuff like that is totally unimportant for some but very important for others, so it's good if people know enough before they decide to make a purchase. Better to have enough knowledge and make an informed decision than being disappointed and making bad publicity. A disappointed customer can be more damaging than no customer
That's why i proposed that since people will keep asking no matter if we like or not, maybe it would be a good idea to have a dedicated thread for it. Which brings me to Novotny's point.
Novotny: You won't have to wade through it if there's a single, dedicated DRM thread. Just one thread, not taking over the entire board with similar threads, just containing this discussion in a single one.
Now, if someone saw a dedicated DRM discussion only thread and they decided to click on it, then it obviously means they are interested enough in what is being said in there and they have no further ground to object.
I can understand not wanting comments about DRM popping up all over in irrelevant threads and derailing the discussion, it's not wanting comments about DRM at all that i object to, because as long as people have a concern to voice you can't prevent such comments coming up, day in and day out. Let's keep it in a sticky thread and everyone's happy
