Impressive. Indirectly claiming to stand on the morally superior ground. You're one piece of work, really.

The key is in my hand guys. Don't let me lock this thread !

Drebbel (with my moderator hat on)

Drebbel, please lock this thread. nothing good can come from leave it open. Maybe even delete it all.

You just have to try harder to make it a nice and interesting thread ! :P

Since SHIII was cracked within 24-48 hours of release it is apparent that StarForce or any other such kind of protection scheme is utterly futile, a waste of resources and investment capital, , and rather than protect the producer only serves to tick off the buyers.

Copy protection works best as a source of arguments and quarrels....other than that it is pretty much worthless.

The most effective copy protection,it seems, is making a product so lousy that nobody but nobody wants to copy it..... :lol: ...see Luftwaffe Commander....

As you know, we are not supposed to delete threads except in rare cases where they are very short and consist of spamming for viagra or some hate speech, or illegal download links. ;) If we delete a thread like this, it will compel people to repeat the same discussion in a new thread.

This thread is boiling. :o

SF is over, at least in Ubi, and SH3 already has SF. We can't change any of those two previous things (well, the second one yes, with some tricks I won't explain here), so why keep it so violent? You should cool down a little, and realise that here, discussing SF as if it still was a problem is a waste of time. No one seems to be changing his opinion (strong ideas, that's good), so why to waste more energy on this? It isn't worth it now. Maybe it was still worth a month ago, when we still thought that SF was going into SH4, but now it doesn't make any sense to keep discussing it here in Subsim, at least in such a hard way.

Cheers :rock:

Same goes for the locks on my house door. A good burglar can get in anyway. So you think I should remove the locks completely ?

:D

Don't remove them but use some cheaper locks so you can change them easily. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No, I´m ten times as worse than him. At least.

oh i wouldnt know, i havent seen many of mga's posts.

Why do you even bother breathing? You're gonna die, eventually, anyway. You are a waste of organic material and atmospheric resources, and to think people wasted so much investments in you to put you in this world, how futile, you should've been donated to a Hot-Dog factory at birth, I'd love to eat your meat while playing SHIII.

:hulk: :/\chop :rotfl:

Steady on, but unless I mis-read that above post, that's getting a teeny bit personal aint it?

"I'd love to eat your meat while playing SHIII" -oooh-eer missus [/frankie howard]

hmmmm... oookay.. step away from the topic :o
