Pretty much this =\ and for people who have problems with it being connected to the internet all the time, just connect, then start the game and then disconnect and bam there it is.  "

Unless you can't get the internet all the time.  In the student hall where I live, it's hard to impossible to get a console online. I could take it to a friends house to buy it, but then I couldn't actually play it.  For everyone to assume that everyone ALWAYS has the internet, you're being very naive and idiotic. It's a shame, because I WAS going to buy this, but I guess now I'm going to pirate it on PC. Apples and oranges "

Im not saying always on the internet, I never said that, maybe you should have read my post before making snap accusations.  "

I didn't. I was discussing my own personal anecdote, sorry if that wasn't apparent. And to sarcastically call MB a "Genius" was unecessary aswell. Maybe they downloaded it somewhere else. When I bought Pacman CEDX, I bought it at my girlfriends house, then carried on playing it at home. I planned to do this for BCR2, but I guess I can't. "

Anyone know if Rearmed #1 will be on sale price when this releases?  Never got around to trying it, but it looks like fun times.

So people are gonna pirate the PC version now? Why not, you know, BUY the PC version?

If they got rid of all DRM except for a disc check and a CD key then I'm 90% certain sales for any such game would increase.
But the way things happen at the moment is that publishers whack a load of DRM on it, people pirate the game because it's easier than buying it and having a load of trouble, and then the publisher blames the pirates. If you're going to reduce piracy you have to make it easier to buy the game than it is to download, and that means getting rid of DRM.

Too bad it is. Piracy is defined as the any form of unauthorized copying of computer software. Basically it's copyright infringement, which this clearly is.

I'm not copying, or using my account in an unauthorized way. I'm allowed to access my account on 5 systems as limited by PSN. "

I'd rather Sony cuts down the "share" rule to just two PS3s instead of five so that this kind of thing doesn't ever have to happen. I'll admit that I let my brother download stuff from my account, but only because he's not a hardcore gamer, so only like 10% of what I buy is something he might enjoy. Sharing it is better than him not ever doing anything on his PS3 besides play movies / watch Netflix.

Pretty lame. When will developers learn?

Exactly, it's not piracy if you are allowed to do it through the rules, and terms laid out by PSN. Developers just don't like that rule.  Regardless, piracy is still number 1 on the PC. It's way easier to pirate stuff on this PC. Almost as easy as just simply installing a game. It requires jumping through way more hoops on the 360, and even MORE hoops on the PS3 (at least for now). That's why development of games has all but moved over to consoles (unless you're Blizzard), with PC's just sometimes getting ports. "

Checking the connection on start-up is fine by me and, yes I share PSN games with tons of people. 
 
My qualm is if it ends up meaning I always have to have an active connection to keep playing it. Sometimes there's a minor hiccup on my connection and if that kicks me out of the game mid-checkpoint save then that's pretty lame. 
 
Also, I'm not paying 15 bucks for Rearmed. Remember when GRIN asked fans how much they'd pay for a Bionic Commando Rearmed game?
