There was an attempt at making people turn them on instead of off...... happened just a few days ago
and the amount of whining about the game defaulting your settings to off was huge....
"Im sick of noobs whining about not being able to run the game because the settings default is ON, maybe we should set them to default off" whaaa whaaaa whaaaa
next day
"Im sick having to turn my settings on because the default is off, maybe we should set them do default on"
whaaa whaaa whaaa
not pointing at you Dast.......... just pointing out that either way someone is going to have to deal with someone else....... and either way someone is going to whine about it
