Video Games These Days

Up +21 Down

All right, so, I bought this game a long time ago for PC. Had to jump through a bunch of hoops just to play (codes, accounts, internet access to servers, the works) only to find out that if I can't sync with Microsoft servers(Microsoft didn't even make the game, which confuses me as to why they're in the equation), I can't even play the game I paid for and verified is mine. Whatever. Two years later, I try with a new computer. It synced okay, but, because the old account connected, and which is what I used that long verification code with, I can't play a game I paid full price for. (Spent three hours with tech support on the phone both times, who couldn't me either time.) Seriously, game companies, are you all so damned paranoid that you have to put enough security measures on each game to make a bank vault seem skimpy?! I just want to play the fracking game! We should all go back to N64, where you put the game in played it. And the only problem you had was fixed by blowing into the tape.
