I might have bought Mass Effect 2 or Bioshock 2 for the PC, and been really fucking pissed that I paid to be stuffed around: and those who don&#8217;t pay have all the fun and no inconvenience! Admittedly I won&#8217;t buy these games for PC, although I WILL buy them to play on xbox 360 quite cheerily. I&#8217;ll be looking very closely at what might be done to Supreme Commander 2 just prior to release and may actually wait a day or so now, and see what comes up on the internet from the early adopters! Certainly I won&#8217;t buy Supreme Commander 2 for the console, but if I&#8217;m going to be inconvenienced for legitimately buying a game I would previously genuinely have bought unseen, I think not! Now it&#8217;s got to the point for me that I have to wait and see what crap others have to put up with before I go out to buy a PC game. Seems that saves me a fair bit of grief nowadays. And let&#8217;s face it, those who know me, know I&#8217;ve not been shy of buying games over the years.
