Have fun trying to play the game you bought in 5 years when the activation servers go down. I'll be playing my DRM free games like Sins of a Solar Empire and Demigod.

I still play fallout 2 and all my black isle games. Even though the companies do not exist anymore, a good game doesn't age.

Think today's publishers care if you can play the game 5 years after the launch? Admit it: you are RENTING the game for $50 for an indeterminate amount of time.

Agreed. Now if the publishers would just be honest enough to call it a rental, and charge about $5 to $10 for those 5 limited activation, then I would not complain.

Yes, exactly.
