Sorry for the rant but e-license is a peeve of mine. They just enjoy those games more than the new stuff. There are still a lot of people who play the 'Extreme Wrestling' games, which are about 15 years old and were the precursor to the TEW series that's now out. It's not just one or two people who believe that way about the new releases. I'd load up WMMA2 to check that theory, but of course I'm not able to play that anymore either. I don't know what 5 is like, but personally I wouldn't trade my copy of WMMA3 in for a copy of 4, and as a former owner of WMMA2 (that's the one with the belts as ratings, right?), I'm not convinced that WMMA2 isn't better than both of them. I've never seen any new release from them which is so much better than the previous version as to be worth AAA money. with GDS games newer often doesn't mean better.

I imagine pirates must eat e-license protection for breakfast at this point anyway, so what is it protecting? There's no reason why any developer should be inflicting that 1990's-era copy protection on us anymore. If that's never going to happen, I'll just spend my money on other games. For me, a GDS title needs to be on Steam, and it needs to be on sale before I'll touch it. When I lost WMMA4, then got a snotty reply about it when I wrote something on the site, I decided I was never going to buy another title off the GDS site again. Over the years I must have bought 6 or 7 games directly from GDS's website, and I can no longer play any of them because like most computer users, I've switched e-mails a couple of times and changed PCs.
