    well, this is one way to deal with a situation like this! no idea how this is going to shake out, but i'm going to guess this will probably deter people from trying this with other games that bomb.

      It will deter some. But most will just hop behind a decent VPN and have their fun.

        Ah, that makes sense. Didn't know such a mechanism existed.
