Yeah? If the bank thieves are able to easily crack people's pin codes and steal their money--yes, you would have to come in every time you need to make a withdrawl and do a live biometric scan. And you would be glad to do it!

This is the part that vexes me. To my knowedge, Steam works. Having the game phone home once in a blue moon to verify legitimacy, I have no problem with that. I think most of us here would be okay with that. It's the constant connection business that is the deal breaker for a lot of us. Even folks with the crappiest Internet can play Steam games.

The pirates may have provoked all this, but UBI made the conscious choice to shut us out when there were many other less exclusive options out there.

Neal, this does fall on UBI.

Either Ubi wants to run their own Steam system (not sure that's smart), or they have heard that Steam games are cracked on Day 1 (everyone claims this).

sabre, I say it falls on pirates, but we can disagree here, and I am not going to try and talk you out of your position.

Lol, yeah, but the problem is, who to throw them at? That's one reason why the rules here ask that we don't discuss pirated games, so no one feels pressured to come forward and get stoned...
