I am going to humbly request that those that want to provide input on the topic please look at all issues involved.

I am seeing people showing signs of "going along to get along".

How many that do this have looked at the threads in question. How many have looked at the initial "cracked" thread, along with all other involved threads.

Yes the initial post dealt with a news article dealing with yet another failure of DRM, a failure that is the result of a crack. However there were no addresses given pertaining to where to get the crack. It was simply an article about the failure of DRM.

The thread from Uber was concerning the closing of this thread. this thread was also closed.

The next thread from uber was asking why that thread had been closed.

The last two threads were no where near being in violation of the rules, and the closing of the second thread is what lead to the ensuing silliness.

Just going "yep yep yep, that's what the rules say, yep yep yep" is not the way to deal with this. You need to look at all items in the discussion. That is the only way we can avoid such situations.

The state of SH5 has really pulled up some bad emotions, and friends have started tearing at each other. I even had someone tell me flat out, they are not here to make friends, which I frankly find sad to say the least. I come here to converse with people with a similar love of a very rare genre of game, one that at the moment is not being served well by its developer.

By the way, this is the post that caused all this silliness.

Don't just look at the title, look at the content of the article itself.

This article is tantamount to a news company covering a break in. The news organization is only covering the effects from the crooks that did the crime. CNET is doing likewise in this article. I have looked at all hyperlinks and could not find one path to the crack in question. It does however give a glimpse into the thought processes of those that break codes. I read what they say, and I see some pompous little asses frankly. This article covers the effect of the crack, which is that DRM is a failure that has resulted in legit players not being able to play, while pirates play all they want...off the net, on lap top, away from internet connection, and so on.
