My new favorite: offline solo games that still want you to be online to run, and completely crash just after telling you so.
@Takanu In this case it's an indie free to play with no online feature at all, not even progress sync. I'm amazed.
@jkb Oh wow. 💀
@jkb Actually, to be fair on them there would be no way to prevent people from hacking all their goodies otherwise, but i can understand the frustration :S
@Takanu Yeah, to be honest I'm more amused/irritated/frustrated by the game crashing and burning when it could just gracefully recover, especially as it just displayed me an appropriate failure message.
@jkb Mmm, if a developer is going to use DRM, they should make it as seamless as possible...
@jkb Game publishers have the best ideas for their customers, always 👌
