Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D has undeleteable save data

The same goes for Super Monkey Ball 3D. You can't even start the games over, in other words. It seems that the industry (or Capcom and Sega, so far, anyway) now has started taking similar "anti-piracy" steps (more like theft from paying customers) as the widespread measures in the PC gaming industry, that make almost all PC games worthless in value, after having been used, once - except you can't even start these games over, yourself.

Is this acceptable?

What does a 3DS game have to do with PC Games in general? There will always be some form of DRM for the PC. The article is talking about the 3DS cartridge.

Yes, that is correct. I'm saying that similar methods now are starting to spread into the videogame industry.

Personally, I myself basically have stopped buying almost all PC games, due to the renting DRM's that they usually use. Unfortunately, I miss out on the few games that do not have it, and likewise, they do not get their games sold enough, despite that they deservedly should, when they do not resort to such methods. There should be some site that lists what PC games you actually *buy*, and do not merely rent. Maybe a similar site soon should be available for videogames... this is even worse than the PC DRM's, in many ways, though... and at least you can use cracks to fix the PC games.
