Episode 513: Delays and TragedyEpisode 513: Delays and Tragedy
Last week’s episode was delayed by Jonah producing a new show (The Jonah Falcon Show), then by the tragedy on Sunday, August 26. Now, the podcast recorded last week and the one recorded this week have been merged into one big 2+ hour show.
Last week’s news items included:
- Devil May Cry 5 arrives in March
- Cyberpunk 2077 quests similar to The Witcher 3 ‘in terms of playtime and complexity’
- Rumor: Nintendo planning big Switch upgrade
- Soulcalibur 6 Story Mode and DLC character announced
This past week’s news was simple:
- EA cancels remaining Madden Classic qualifiers
To be fair, the crew ended up talking about other stuff going on during the week, including the the E3 demo for Cyberpunk 2077 that was finally released to the general public. Gaming still brings smiles to people’s faces.
DRM Free Spore Steams Forward!DRM Free Spore Steams Forward!
Gamers get upset when developers sneak ugly hacks onto their computers when they just want to play video games. Although gamers really only revolt when they know their being exploited, Spore is a fine example of how not to lock down a video game. Using SecuROM was a bad decision on the part of Electronic Arts, no matter what their PR spin tries to tell us.
Imagine a world of DRM free spore and you may be imagining reality using the Valve’s Steam software download architecture.
“The moderator specifically mentioned Spore but it’s possible this extends to other EA games that used SecuROM as well (like Mass Effect). If a game on Steam uses third-party DRM, it’s supposed to be mentioned on the product page.” (cinemablend)
We’ve been complaining about the Spore DRM for month snow on the gaming podcast, perhaps we’ll have to shut our mouths soon enough.
