Jeff Green said that Command and Conquer is unplayable
EA.com's editor-in-chief and blogger Jeff Green has
written in his blog that he has been burnt by Command & Conquer 4's DRM.
EA created a storm when it required users to be online at
all times to play. Green wrote on his Twitter account that he has had to
boot twice and lost his progress because his DSL connection dropped.
He said that the DRM was a fail and EA needed new
solutions. Green wrote that he tried to be open-minded. But his net
connection is finicky and the constant disruption of my C&C4 SP game makes
this unplayable.
He said that the story is fun, the gameplay is
interesting and different but if you suffer from shaky/unreliable DSL you have
been warned. Green said that periodic online checks or checks on
loading and quitting would be an improvement, or going farther, caching
progress for upload at a later time.
