So glad that I abandoned the PC gaming scene years ago except for WOW. At least Blizzard is honest about how you don't actually own anything when you give them money for WOW. No shifty DRM or dubious EULAs (there is a EULA but it states the obvious); it's an online MMO that you pay to access, but you don't actually own anything.
I can at least respect that, because Blizzard is upfront with what you're paying for. All of these companies "selling you a single-player game" that require the malware SecuROM, online activation, online validation on startup, etc., is downright despicable. Just another reason why I will never buy a non-MMO game for the PC ever again (except maybe SC2 and D3).
As long as consumers continue to support such blatant anti-consumer activities, PC gaming will continue to die a slow death.
