Vivendi studios and projects face uncertain future

Hopefully the recent mainstream news coverage about how badly their DRM has blown up in their face will make them reconsider it for future projects. Apparently Spore has broken records as one of the most warezed games ever — talk about opposite the desired effect.

I don't know if that was the most downloaded game EVER, but it surely was the most downloaded this year, by a really large margin too.

Kudos to EA for expanding their EAP program and keeping on investing into new innovative IPs and independent developers. Especially now that it turns out certain titles underperformed and restructuring measures have been announced. Maybe the deal with Double Fine was signed already months ago? Anyway, Tim Schäfer should be happy!

Woot, DRM. I'll be downloading that one, too.

There isn't even an announced PC version of it, is there? Psychonauts was so great on PC, I hope Brutal Legend gets a port too, but with the current industry beliefs, it's not certain...

Riddick? Didn't that game come out 3 years ago?

Don't be riddickulous frie
