@AAA-DG @bunchanumbers @Inquisitha @deadly_yank33 @DarkSaber2k No it doesn't. Yes, it has DRM, but I can play my Steam games offline indefinitely.

@Inquisitha @bunchanumbers @deadly_yank33 @DarkSaber2k Actually, all companies have been letting the NSA in whenever they wanted. The only reason Microsoft wrote this letter is because customers are pissed that Snowden reminded everyone about something we learned back in 2006.

Oh, you're absolutely right Bungie. Well, half right.

They look like samurai elites.

The parallels between their PR and abusive relationships is terrifying. We get blamed for their screw ups. They know how much better our ex was and they tell us to go back if we love him so much. Then as we hit the door, they break down crying and beg us to not leave.

Even more terrifying is that some of you will stay.
