    I see what they're trying to say, but I don't agree at all.

    To avoid the million stupid arguments, I'll stop now.

    I was readin a piracy argument in SA and it basically degenerated into 'you can't prove piracy is damaging the industry because there are no detailed studies and used games and second hand consoles'

    I like this comic.

    Anti-Piracy tactics do get pretty obnoxious.

    But less people buying the games doesn't really help, either.

    Even worse. Allegedly it kicks you back to the main menu and you insta-lose any unsaved progress.

    It looks like he has no waist here. His arms are too close to his sides so it looks like he's larger.

    And I thought the Dragon Age DLC did this terribly bad. At least there the game doesn't stop, you just temporarily lose DLC stuff when you lose your connection.

    Which can be somewhat impractical if you lose your sword in the middle of a fight
