SKYRIM PATCH ADDS NOTHING BUT DRM…THANKS.

One of the best things about PC gaming is the fact that on the majority of games, modding the game to your tastes can be achieved without too much dificulty. Even on games that haven’t been designed to be modded, the community usually finds a way. Well it seems like Steam and Bethesda have just teamed up and patched Skyrim adding nothing to the game, in fact they took stuff away.

Yup, I won't be buying it

Haha wow they really just hit the pc gamers hard

No. No, not at all. Hey, I made to somewhere around 100. And can still to go places I've already been. It's only the new areas that won't load. You'll be fine if you just make a separate character for each quest line and don't wander off exploring lots of unrelated areas.

Well, I'm glad now I picked it up for Xbox because my PC couldn't run it. Other then the system crawling to a halt when during certain dragon fights, I've had no problems.

I was reading how ubisoft announed that they arent going to release Ghost recon Future soldire on PC either due to "Piracy" which is aload of @#$@#$.

The reason why they wont want to release it is becuase console peeps pay a lot more for games than PC gamers are willing too. A console player sees a $30-$40 game and says bargain! A PC player sees that price and says ill wait till it drops to $10-$20.

I think its a whole bunch of spin to say that consoles dont pirate when in relaity there is just as much piracy on consoles with chips.

The difference is PC gamers I think, have a higher expectation from games than console players. So its a lot harder for a game to be successful on PC than it is console. So when execs look at a game and say ok we can publish this on x,y or z, they go with which one they can make the most money out of with the least effort. Just my 2 cents.

LAA for Skyrim has now been made to work without modifying the TESV.exe

This means mods or tweaks such as uGrids will work again.

Doing the PC Gamers over this badly is only going to make them end up being pirated more. I don't understand the stupidity behind this! And I don't understand the whole it's going to get pirated thing on PC. Even if 50% of pc gamers pirate their game. They still get the other 50% on the PC, on top of all the console sales. Or am I getting something wrong here?

Steam is already DRM... why add more?

[thulfiqaar]

Turns out the DRM is steam itself and it was a mistake that they made by not adding that in the first place. So I'm going to buy it but probably during christmas.

[gengis]

i will get it at some stage but the game has definitely gone from "must buy during sales" to "when the price is right" for me.

Your still avoiding the fact that the patch did nothing but take good stuff away fromt he game, regardless of whether it was meant to be there or not. Bad patch is bad

Ubisoft just love DRM

[OpxaH]

wait, what is DRM? also ,about the modding in skyrim i read something about steam workshop coming to skyrim just like tf2.i thinks thats more than enough for downloading and installing mods, especially for people like me having trouble installing minecraft mods

Welcome to the forums Opxah

DRM is Digital Rights Management. Basically they add copy protection on games. Some are in the form of a one time cd Key activation and the nasty ones are the "only online play".

The online only play actually hurts the proper gamers who buy the game honestly.
