Bustin' Doesn't Make Me Feel Good



UPDATE: Atari came out with a bit of shocking honesty, basically saying, "Yeah, we pretty much phoned it in."

Original post: So I spotted this disconcerting story a couple nights ago over on Kotaku, stating that the PC version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game, releasing tomorrow, requires an internet connection for DRM authentication. That's a little irritating, but the worst part about that is that the PC version will not have multiplayer. Internet connection required, but only to make sure you aren't a pirate. That isn't the most non-sensical part, because taking a look at the image of the back of the box, the game apparently does not support dual-core processors or video cards that have 256MB of memory. I half expect to hear it also does not run on computers facing east or will not run for people with mustaches (except Ernie Hudson).

-K.
