Title: Wing Commander - Or Paul Barnett tries something new
Post by: fuser on September 28, 2010, 10:21:27 AM
So to attone for sins commited it seems that Mr Barnett is attempting to release a DRM free copy of WC1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_Commander_(video_game)) for the 20th anniversary. Seems like a test of EA releasing older titles identical to GOG business model on their store. But hey any DRM free prepackaged/patched installer of old games is good by me.

When Kotaku led off their article on this with "Bioware's Paul Barnett", I got the sudden urge to vomit.  I know the company name is diluted a quite a bit now, but still.. yetch.

Diluted? No, it's now concentrated with the flavors of piss and failure.

Bioware is only a Brand name under Electronic Arts now.

Just wait until we get the first "BioWare's Paul Barnett talks about The Old Republic" article: "We've got five star talent and five star drive here at BioWare! ROCKSTAR!".

Quickly followed by feeling a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

I love how f13 can make a free, DRM-free official release of WC1 into a bad thing.

Under? Buried underground perhaps?

Origin's Paul Barnett! Paul Barnett of Bullfrog fame!
