When will they ever learn

After the SPORE fiasco, you would think that companies would learn something.

Apparently not.

I have just bought a copy of Football Manager 2009 and guess what? Due to the DRM whereby I have to autheticate with the servers online, I can't play the game I spent good money on. The authentication servers are down. And while I'm stuck here with an expensive coaster, people who have downloaded the game are happily playing it.

DRM rarely work. It's Murphy's law, sod's law. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

I am just so pissed right now.
