No thx
Strange. I've just arrived to preorder. Thankfully now I know better.
I've been through this online check ordeal with Paradox+VP Ltd's strategy games. Now I can't play some of them because I've changed my Mac more than 2 times (checked on start), and they refused to issue new codes to me, even banned me from their forum for being outraged - therefore I have to use manual quirks to play aforementioned games.
Also, Windows 7 has this Microsoft Games subsystem (gameux.dll) that requires internet connection, and falls in an endless 100% cpu usage loop if there isn't one, forcing me to start the game again (now it would start), then use the Task Manager to quit the first instance. Yes, this is the case with SH3, as my gamer PC does not have any net connection, why should it.
Maybe I'll buy SH5 after spending 1 year with the cracked version, and still being satisfied.
