Is Telltale putting any serious thought into replacing or offering an alternative digital purchase/DRM system?
I'm getting heartily sick of having to track down the direct download link and then manually activate each episode of the series I've paid for, and I'm not even behind a firewall. I imagine you guys are getting also sick of having to field the same tech support queries every time you release something with Digital River's wrapper attached.
To be honest, I don't think I have the patience to go through the whole tortuous process for the remaining episodes, especially if at the end of it there are still game-breaking memory leaks to content with.
By contrast, I've never had a problem with Trymedia or Softwrap*, which seem to be the systems that most (virtually all) other game publishers use for digital purchases. I'd be genuinely interested to know the reasoning behind choosing Digital River.
*Or Steam for the most part, but I assume that it's a bit far removed from what Telltale are looking for in a DRM system anyway.
