Bulletstorm In A Tea Cup - ’DRMsode’


Earlier today(yesterday for me), Destructoid caused a bit of a stir when they posted a news write up that pointed out that EA’s EULA on Bulletstorm implied that an always on internet connection was necessary. A People Can Fly developer, Adrian Chmielarz, later tweeted ‘F**king Internets... No, Bulletstorm PC does not require any constant connection, only for install and for online play (duh!)’, confirming that this whole always on DRM was false and merely a mistake on EA’s part(he later tweeted that ‘the internets’ had a right to complain). So what was this hullabaloo all about? Absolutely nothing! It would have been better if Destructoid asked Epic for clarification on this matter. Bulletstorm will still use Games For Windows LIVE and require an online connection for installation and online play.
