No, Gizzmoe, it isn't hard to understand. But I think that it isn't too hard to understand that your answer was too harsh, either...
I guess that if he owns a legal copy of SHIII and he's trying to use the crack, there's a reason for it...that means the stock game doesn't work either.
So you can say "Hey, why don't you ask for help to play the game without the no-DVD thing? I ask it because we can't lend you any help if you try to run the game with the no-DVD .exe, as it is forbidden by the rules"...that way you're constructive ,friendly, and are actually offering your help while warning this is not a place to publicly discuss warez things...
but by saying:
"This isn´t a support forum for cracked versions of SH3!"
seems you're off to bite him!!
.
I concur, this is not a place to ask for help with cracked versions of a game as there are rules that forbid it. However I know for experience (been able to play the game properly just since last Sunday) I can tell you that you get really desperate when you have a problem like this, and that you do whatever it takes to get it running. Sometimes you can even go too far and do really stupid things like asking in public how to avoid Starforce protection by toying with your registry...
At least, I was that stupid, and I did it
.
What I mean is- don't be too harsh with him...there are ways to say things harshly and ways to say things friendly. I think you were a tad too harsh in your answer, maybe because you really don't know the feeling of paying for a game which doesn't work when it should... nothing else
