Ayuh. There is nothing on the shelves or on the net that is 100% immune to being pirated. If it is available, somebody will want it for free and somebody will find a way to provide it for free. What is almost as bad is when there are companies who proclaim to the world that their almighty new protections are unbreakable. They seem to have forgotten about the Titanic and how unsinkable she was. *whoops!* We silly humans and our fruitless quest for invincibility.
It was mentioned on the previous page also that PC's do a lot more than just run games... that was the gist of what I picked up on anyway. Indeed. How often do you see a supercluster of gaming consoles crunching data for the USGS? The PC can do a lot more than just run games... it can do a heck of a lot more than a gaming console. It is here to stay for now.
