1.0 out of 5 stars Could have been great. I'll never know., April 10, 2009
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (DVD-ROM)
I will never know if this game is any good because I refuse to buy a game that will eventually cease to work. I'm sure the pirates out there are having a blast with it. Congratulations on accomplishing nothing and losing legitimate business, not to mention, credibility as a publisher. I will think twice before buying Atari software in the future. Thanks Atari, I was actually looking forward to this one.

= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (DVD-ROM)
Yes, this is a DRM based review. Why is this important? Because the major game publishers appear to have decided that even though you are rewarding their efforts with your hard earned money, you don't actually OWN this title. They have decided that they will decide how and where you will use their product. For the record I do not condone piracy, but it is equally unacceptable to limit my legal use of the game or to try to make it difficult or impossible for me to resale the title later. It is unacceptable to install programs on my PC that monitor how I use the game and seek to monitor my compliance with their terms and conditions. The only way to keep the publishers from shackling us with this and making it the "standard practice" is to yell as loud as possible everytime time it happens. If you will let me legally use this however and whenever I want, you will be rewarded with my money, otherwise, not one red cent!

1.0 out of 5 stars Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Consumer Rights, April 8, 2009
= Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (DVD-ROM)
I'll just admit that Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher's Bay (this game's prequel) was an absolutely amazing experience. I couldn't wait to get my hands on this... until I saw the "requires internet connection to play" notice on the back of the package at a local retail store. Needless to say, I put the game back on the shelf pending more research (I will NOT buy games that included limited internet activations). As it turns out, Dark Athena uses the most stupendously draconian DRM the PC gaming world has ever seen: your $50 buys you exactly 3 installs. Period. You don't "get any back" when you uninstall nor can you revoke activations like you can with EA games (which I also refuse to buy since they use limited activations - revoke tools or no). From the moment you buy the game - you can only install it 3 times and then it's done; You can't install it ever again - it just won't run after that. Yup, you are essentially paying full retail for a use-limited rental. Please don't support rentware by purchasing this game. Send Atari the message that you won't stand for this kind of abuse in the only language they'll understand... [lack of] money.

I was a huge fan of the original and a guaranteed buyer for this installment - but Atari lost my business because they don't know how to treat me, a willing, paying customer, with even a modicum of respect. I won't be swindled, abused, or taken advantage of - and I certainly won't PAY for that treatment. SHAME ON YOU, Atari.

To Starbreeze - I'm really, truly sorry that I won't be able to pay you for your hard work on this game. Hopefully you'll be able to arrange a Steam release without the 3rd party DRM... and the sooner the better. I'll await that day with my Amex at the ready.
