You should read it again - in that post I only said that among other features both Steamworks and Reactor have their DRM solutions - nothing else.

I am saying that both services (Steamworks and Reactor) contain DRM solution. I am in no way comparing those DRM solutions and/or their implementation. If you think so post text where I do so.....

Direct quote from Reactor whitepaper:

Game Object Obfuscation (GOO)

Impulse::Reactor combines digital rights management with copy protection in the form of the digital protection framework.

......

Impulse::Reactor’s Core Features Include:

•  Game Object Obfuscation (GOO)

•  Common Community Platform (CCP)

•  Common Virtual Platform (CVP)

Ractor contain DRM (GOO) -  Its even listed as core feature

In that case LEARN TO READ!!!!!!!!!

I compared Impulse Reactor to Steamworks and said that both contain DRM solution - I didnt say anything else about either DRM solutions.

And in previous post I replied to your claim where you said that Reactor DOESNT contain DRM - which, based on information from Reactor whitepaper is not correct.

To me it looks like you should learn to read what is written in posts to which you reply...... because your replies didnt make any sense.

Shocking, Impulse fanbois cant read

Yes, I agree.

(btw. it would be nice if this forum had multiquote feature )

Companies still use that crap?

Many companies are real afraid to go DRM free.  Companies know Steamworks is pretty restrictive DRM.

Ironically, Capcom uses less DRM on Impulse then they do everywhere else.  I think some other companies do also.

As for Starforce, what games this year used it?  1C is the biggest company I see, and they don't use it on anything sold on DD.  It looks like a bunch of shovelware companies which aren't worth caring about.

Oops try again , reread what i said.

That said, the smaller companies  will take the risks, then the bigger companies will catch up.  Invasive DRM will disappear by the end of this decade in the PC market, in the markets that prove such DRM isn't profitable.  Hopefully the PC market is one of those markets. 

Actually, it's something that primarily occurs in Publically Traded Companies, such as EA, Ubisoft, Activision Blizzard, etc.  With piracy being blamed for everything from poor movie sales, despite terrible movies chocking the industry, to Global Warming, stock-holders demand action be taken against these vile dwellers of the internet.  The easiest thing to do is simply use DRM; it has zero effect on real pirates, and only a marginal one on 'casual piracy', but prevents second hand game sales, thus increasing first party sales - which is what stock holders want to see - thus giving the illusion that a difference was made, and that DRM has 'defeated' piracy.[/quote]

True, large corporations are by their nature risk-averse, and publicly traded corps are by their nature short-sighted.  It's pretty much a standard theory of economics, though I'm unsure how exactly it's handled quantitatively.

That said, the smaller companies  will take the risks, then the bigger companies will catch up.  Invasive DRM will disappear by the end of this decade in the PC market, in the markets that prove such DRM isn't profitable.  Hopefully the PC market is one of those markets. 

I'll have some of that popcorn, if you don't mind.
