In what’s surely one of the top “WTF moments” of the day,Gears of WarPC players were shocked to discover that the game’s digital certificate expired yesterday, meaning no one can currently play the game without adjusting their computer’s clock.
Sounds like a pretty big mistake on Epic’s part, doesn’t it? But before you go questioning the company’s motives or what have you,Shacknews has quotedEpic programmer Joe Graf as saying, “This was a surprise to us too.”
As you might have guessed, the problem is being taken care of. “We have been notified of the issue and are working with Microsoft to get it resolved. Sorry for any problems related to this,” says Graf.
You have to admit, this situation is kind of funny. I suppose if the same problem were to plagueLeft 4 Deador something more recent, it wouldn’t be so comical, but come on — it’s the originalGears of War… on PC.
