Episode 239: This Episode is DRM-freeEpisode 239: This Episode is DRM-free
This week, Paul is too busy unpacking in his new home in California, so it’s just Jonah and Jordan, as the news mainly deals with DRM. The Gaming Flashback this week is the Activision racer The Great American Cross-Country Road Race, while this week’s Gaming History doesn’t focus on a video game company or developer, but a fictional character instead, Mario’s favorite mount, Yoshi.
The news this week includes:
- EA forum bans cause game bans
- Research film states piracy’s up 20% in past 5 years
- GOG sez customers hate DRM
- Steam user database cracked
- Uncharted 3 launches with 1.1M sold in first week
All that plus Reader Feedback and the Question of the Week, “What DRM would you tolerate?”

- Sony appears to have ‘abandoned’ its trademark for The Last Guardian
- Final Fantasy 15: Episode Duscae demo detailed
- Nvidia’s big March 3rd event – is it a gaming phone?

This week we read off some of our Audience Survey Dislikes and requests while plowing through some great community comments. We self-analyze Don to see if he’s really a freak based on some community feedback while tackling some news:
Nintendo Making Users Pay for Wii Hacks- Champions Online Coming July 14th
- Guild Wars Reaches 6 Million Units Sold
- Texas Trying to Entice Game Developers
We’re also taking a flashback peak at Return to Pirate Island and a bit of history on Scott Adams, the interactive fiction game developer (not the Dilbert guy). This week’s question is a reverse take on last weeks, thanks to Jonah Falcon: What games did you give up on, due to difficulty, despite wanting to see how it ended?
