Hmm, promoting warez is dangerous in these forum you know. :arrgh!:

YOu have any idea how much money they lost from having StarForce?

Knowone really knows but with the hatred of starforce out there it seems they missed out on selling quite a few copys.

And I saw a pic of it on some site already cracked within a week after its realese.

Who won D? DId UBI no
Did we the paying customers win? No
Did the hackers and the theieves win? Yes they ended up with a SH3 that worked better than our verision.

That is just plain wrong and we must not let it happen again.

Nope

Ah, you asking trick questions now :-)

So what ? sometimes you just have to protect what is yours. Is like getting a lock on your door. Costs money, is annoying, is not good for yourself at all, and you might even get less visitors because that pretty girl from next door thinks you are not home and leaves again.

True, the type of doorlock I have was picked as well, about 2 months after it was on the marked. So I definately gonna get rid of all my doorlocks, they don't work anyway.

Why not ? You stated yourself you have no idea how much SF gained/cost UBIsoft

Yes we probably did. If UBI makes more $$ the could charge less for the games and/or invest more money in the next game.

Yep, the thief that stole my brothere cdplayer also did win, he got one for free. So I say again. Lets get rid of all doorlocks !!

Ah, I agree, the next StarForce must be better, less bugs, and way more difficult to crack. I am so glad that we agree afterall

:D

LOL you are a funny one.

Well Im so glad you feel that way please make your own Support StarForce topic.

Anyway here are summore sigs I hope yall will start to use some of these eventually.

You know, you remember me a lot of the president of Sony BMG : customers don't know what a rootkit is so why should they care about it ?

The need to protect something has a limit which should not be crossed.
As an official of the us department of homeland security said after the Sony BMG rootkit fiasco to the music industry : the music industry has the right to protect their content, but always remeber that the computers are not yours (to do what you want) but your customers.

Nobody here is advocating releasing content without copy protection.
What most of you don't realise is that there are alternative ways to copy protection which are just as effective, are less intrusive than starforce ( which as i recall is a piece of software which tampers (modifies) the operating system) and which don't cripple your customers computers.

Having said this, if you are ok to buy software with starforce protection, be my guest but don't start complaining when your computer bsods, your cd,dvd-drive fails etc....

Hmm, can not stop wondering why you all want to get rid of Starforce. If you all in favor of copyright protection why then not just "demand" a SF of better quality ?

Why make strong statement that you will not buy SHIV if it has SF ?

Because I am sure that when SHIV is released and there are no real problems with the new version of SF you will all forget about your earlier statements and simply go out and buy the game.

Thats right D help StarForce get more of a stranglehold on our computers and well be sure to buy it cause we love SH4 so much.

I know you want UBI to continue the great Silent Hunter Series

To help them do it we are trying to make them see that considering your customers criminals will not insure this.

I have an idea.

What if we had some kind of steam interface.

You know like HL2 has

We have have the multiplayer the fair copy protection and multiplayer all in one program.

But never NEVER!!! will we support starforce again!

Never ???

Oh boy, never say never

If I had to get 1 $ of all people who stated never going to buy SHIII I could have a great vacation trip around the world :D

And of course a great way to let UBI know is to sell your copy of SHIII :-j But you probably will not do that because although SF is in SHIII you are having a great time with it and would not want to miss it.

Basicly you continue to consider us scumbags. You say we wont keep our word.

You are a very offensive person and this has gone out of hand.

Belive what you want but my statement is official I will not buy any product that contains starforce again!!

No I am keeping my copy of SH3 in hopes my idea will be considered then I can play the atlantic campaign in SH4 :P

Because its impossibile to make a better quality starforce.
The way the protection is devised makes your wish about a better quality totaly impossibile to achieve.

I already stated my motives.

No, I'm a simulation fan but I passed on Lock-on because of starforce, passed on Flamming Cliffs because of starforce, passed on silent hunter 3 because of starforce and will pass on silent hunter 4 if it uses starforce.
I renounced to play a lot of games i was interested in because of starforce and i won't change my opinion.

I understand. But what a pitty that you will this non-SF issue spoil all the fun. You missing out on some great games !

Um no there will always be a StarForce issue.

And that is the fact that you must prove your innocence EVERY time you want to play.

Hey atleast steam you activate it and your good to go every time.

SF is gonna die and thats that. They are likely losing buisness already.

And UBI knows this they have felt the sting they read the results. The likeliness is that there wont be StarForce in SH4

Well there are a lot of other great games which are as interesting as the ones i don't play, right now on my hard disk are installed :

Dangerous Waters
Falcon 4 Allied Force
Orbiter (space flight simulator - freeware)
IFH (a space combat game with newtonian flight model - freeware)
Space Shuttle Simulation (freeware remake of the virgin shuttle simulation )
Anacreon (a turn based strategy game - freeware)
The Babylon Project ( an arcade space combat game - freeware)
x-com : Terror form the deep (a turn based strategy game)

and I enjoy every single one of them without having the problem of starforce messing up my computer.

I won't buy it if it uses StarForce (or anything of the SF ilk).

/back to lurking in the iron coffin....

Re: We do not want StarForce in SH4!!!
 

OK guys I am a newbie to this forum. What is Star Force and what does it do?

Does this software exist in SHIII too? I don't own a copy of SHIII yet. ... And if this is what I think it is I won't buy SHIII if it has malware of anykind inside it. That will go for SH IV also
