Has anyone considered that pirates succeed in large part because they release a superior product? Why was Ubi forced to release a previously pirated version of SH3? It was a superior product which consented to run on more hardware and without the aggravation of the original DRM.
Same with SH4. First Ubi released patch 1.3 with no DRM at all. Then for inexplicable reasons, they refanged SecuRom for the UBM release. It now scans your running processes for programs Sony doesn't like, including legitimate programs by Microsoft having nothing whatever to do with piracy. This invasion of my sovereignty is unacceptable.
Once the pirates are done with a program it runs quicker on more variations of hardware, is smaller, takes fewer system resources....it is just a superior product. If it were in Wal-Mart it would outsell the original.
Thank God for DRM free SH4 Gold!
