Them sound like fightin’ words: “Just Cause 2″ developer calls competing developers who make use of “ridiculous” DRM “scared”.

It’s always nice to here someone from the gaming industry speak out over the current course of DRM proliferation. We all have clearly seen the direction Ubisoft wants to go (read: fucking legitimate customers over time and time again). But that doesn’t mean all game developers are bad, stupid, or all of the above. No sir. There still is some hope left. Just Cause 2 developer and Avalanche Studio co-founder, Christofer Sundberg, has come out against the several new forms of “ridiculous DRM”, with obvious hints at Ubi being a company not to follow.

But he doesn’t stop with Ubi…

Blu-ray “Managed Copies”: December 4th. Players that actually support this crap: 0.

Remember high school and all of the various fads and gimmicks that flowed like water out of dam? Ya, it was that evident. Such a comparison can be made with the latest digital rip off titled (politically correct title that is) “Blu-ray Managed Copies”. Essentially it is another way movie studios and labels somehow get away with controlling how we use our purchased content. The way this service works is when copying a Blue-ray disc, the player sends out a signal to the “mother ship” via the internet. That mother ship/server will then relay back to your player the specifics to make the copy and authorize it. Sounds like a legitimate solution that should appease both sides right? Wrong. Epic failure in fact.
