He said he wasn't picking the game up operiod. Not that he would wait 2 weeks so no, the comment isn't ridiculous it's completely valid.I have to laugh at the 'ridiculous grudge' comment. I'm not sure how repeatedly stupid archaic endeavors that prove to be nothing but issues is ridiculous, but ok.
If the first 2 weeks is truly why, then drop the price by $20 at release for the first 2 weeks and you'll make as many extra in sales as you spent on creating a DRM that likely will only cause people issues who paid for the game. Of course, suits don't look at things in that way. You already have Steam (or is it Origin?) as a DRM, anything on top of that is just asking for issues.
All this news does is make me say, I won't buy the game for at least 2-3 months after all the issues have been worked through - if ever.
Anyone preordering this game at this point is kind of foolish. Grudge or no grudge. If this statement upsets you, well it should.
Rather than just wait, he won't pick up a potentially great game PERIOD.
I'll just wait.
Like I said, gamers hold the most ridiculous grudges.
