The whole problem is explained nicely there my Mr.Biscuit.

Always-on adds no functionality what so ever, it in fact detracts functionality. Why do big names in the industry refuse to understand this?

I.e: Mike Rogers doesn't think it's rape unless the victim knows (s)he has been raped. Sounds legit.

I always figured they understand it's inconvenient but come up with a stance to try to not seem like ****s. This whole thing seems to be driven by the industry's pirating scare. I must say I understand their frustration with the amount of game pirating but they are going about solving this all the wrong ways...
Thanks to GrandMasterD for my sig!

In all honesty big executives in Ubi/EA/whatevs are hurting the gaming industry more than piracy does. Piracy really isn't as bad as it's made out to be. The industry is just using piracy as a scapegoat to mask customer dissatisfaction.

That's nothing compared to how he pronounces 'poor'. He says roughly "po-ur". (note: the word pour is pronounced more like poor than the actual spelling)

Homophones... English has so many of them. Dutch barely has any but then again, we dismissed all logic!
