I think Bakunin couldn't have guessed that the first large-scale revolution in the 21th century would occur because of some crappy videogame.

Don't say that, remember Marie Antoinette, who just said that "let them eat cake insted." and found herself in for a chop soon after.

Someone has got to get chopped now, I just hope this thing gets large enough to make them listen; I mean copy protection opposition seems to be at its peak right now; with Stardock's Bill of Rights for Gamers and all........

Bless 'em. Viva la revolution.

May the gaming gods(I heard Thor is awesome at CS:S) bless everyone of them.
Now if only I could be productive and create an account at Amazon and join them.

Good

I'm one of those thousands of people who were drooling in anticipation of this game. However, I'm not paying $50 for a rental.

What really needs to happen is people need to VOTE WITH THEIR DOLLARS/EUROS/POUNDS/etc. Do NOT buy the game if it comes with this kind of crap! Research before you buy. Etc etc etc.

Vive Stardock! indeed!

I wish I knew about the DRM before I bought it

So do I.

Thirded. Already done two installs. Oh well, at least one is perma-backed up.

Well the 1 star reviews will no doubt stop some people from buying it.

Agreed, this sort of thing must surely be actually starting to make a dent in their sales. I know for a fact if I'm going on Amazon to buy a game, and see it has 700 1-star reviews all saying "DO NOT BUY THIS GAME" it would put me off.

Vive la revolution!

Edit: It's made the BBC website.
