Now another 3DS game gets "UNDELETABLE SAVE" !

First Capcom, now Namco-bandai!

Yet another company is doing this atrocious act! Pac-man is no Resident Evil, but this game is popular with the casual crowd. Would they complain about it like the hardcore player would? Or is that their plan all along?

I'm starting to think that this may be the future of gaming and that makes me sad :(

I know this thread's going to become a "Lets hate on NAMCO thread!"

lets discuss this seriously before the flames hit and render this thread useless!

This better not become a trend. I doubt it will because it's just too obnoxious to last, but it is damn frustrating. This kind of crap isn't helping the struggling 3DS sell units.

Buy a flash kit or a save manager. Then you can buy deeply devalued used copies at lower prices, wipe the saves, and laugh.

In a world where saved games are outlawed, only outlaws will have saved games.

I seriously doubt dedicated save manager kits are illegal, even if flash kits are.

I don't know about the legality of them. All I know is that I don't pirate games unless bad DRM or lack of retail availability drives me to it. Not that I would know how to pirate a 3DS game, or need to since I don't have one.

I just think that if a company is going to deliver a gimped product to paying customers to prevent piracy, then I'm much more interested in finding the pirated version that has those problems removed.

This fucking sucks. It makes me very hesitant to buy 3DS games on day one. If I find out that I bought a game and it has an undeletable save, I will flip my shit.

Fuck Namco-Bandai. They get to join Sony, EA, and Activision.

To stay on-topic: Wow. Horrible decision for Namco

To drift off-topic: More rehashes on the 3DS? Say it ain't so!
