as someone who spends a fortune buying the biggest and shiniest and newiest hardware, i am delighted that PC gaming is dieing otherwise i would have to face up to my 'habit'.

but, while i applaud online distribution as an excellent way to cut out the publisher and retain profit for the developer, i loath an despise intrusive DRM systems, particularly those that require online authentication.

i dislike the idea of gaming as a service, i want a product that i own, that if i come back to a decade hence and try to install, i won't be asked for an internet connection to a developer six years bust.
