Xbox 360’s Fallout 3 Not Safe From Pirates
October 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Just last week in our gaming podcast we were talking about how Gears of War 2 wasn’t going to make a PC debut because it has a bit of a problem with piracy. We were afraid this movement was going to cause game developers and publishers to stick with console’s “big can of DRM” over […]

October 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments
