FF7 for PC available!

[Kamakazie]

Well, because I spent the $10, I went ahead and tried to install the game. As soon as the install is complete, securom pops up to validate the unlock code and activate the game. After that, the "Square Enix FF7 Launcher" starts up, which then downloads patches to the game, and waits for you to login with your SquareEnix ID or your Facebook account. For grins, I unplugged my network cable and tried launching it. Immediate error and no way to play the game. After that i uninstalled it.

Looks like I wasted that $10.

I cannot see your logic here. You own the game, you've installed the game, you would like to play the game... but because you need to be online to launch it you are not allowing yourself to play? o_O

Too much bother. If it is that convoluted to start a 15 year old game then I wouldn't want to get into it and lose saves/progress due to disconnects. Just get a ps1 emulator and play. The emulators probably offer more graphical options anyway.

I don't get why they're making users jump through all these hoops when they could have just done it like gog.com. I've bought games on there for which I still have the CD somewhere simply because it's so convenient.

I gave it one more try this morning. Can't play it due to a weird bug. The game permanently activates the left arrow key in game. Meaning I can't select anything, and can't control the character. Tried unplugging/replugging the keyboard, etc. No help at all.
