But what happens when your internet is down? You can longer play any steam games (even the single player ones).

Steam has always been that way. The only game I've got it to work offline was Codename: Gordon.

You can play non-source games offline, just go to c:\whereeveryouinstalledsteam\steamapps\common then go to the folder of the game you want to play, find its .EXE and tada! no online steam game playing

If you think about it, Blockland's use of a central ID system has curbed piracy for itself. No one can play online nor really play offline to the full extent without a purchased key. The system could/should be used in other games if they really want to halt piracy.

Blockland can be cracked to play online with others.

I doubt that. But if so, has BS been noted?

i use to be a fan of the games made by ea, now they piss me off.
1. I have to get a new driver for ever new game they make.
2.They bought westwood and got rid of them
3.with the Sec stuff being put into command and conquer red alert 3 i can longer enjoy it.
4.EA game put spy ware into battlefield 2142
5. They ruin every game.
I will never buy a game made by Ea again. I would laugh if every one stopped buying from them and they go bankrupt.

Your PC can stop feeling inadequate because it doesn't meet Crysis' high tech specs. Developer Crytek says that future games in the series and from the studio in general will no longer be PC exclisives. The move is being made because of piracy

It's a crappy crack that only lets you play 1.03, so you can't play on public servers, although you can play with friends who also have the cracked version. No, I do not believe Badspot has been noted, but if he would like to be, I would be more than happy to go track it down, and give it to him.
