OK so we all understand that a software company needs to protect his goods from piracy and he needs to try and stop it somehow, fair enough...
I said this in an earlier post, he may put some kind of protection in there but if it fouls up some peoples PC's then eventually the honest buyer won't be buying for fear of something happening to his PC, the only people who will be interested will be the pirates.
We have read on other forums not just this one of these issues so it is widespread, people are having problems through these protection methods, some are PC literate and can resolve the problems, but a lot are not and wonder what has happened to their PC then probably pay a small fortune to get it fixed, all because they bought a game.
Another point I think worth mentioning, some packages say they put a warning on the label about what might happen, not many read it because it is in small print in the bottom corner or not even on the label at all.
If it was printed in BIG BOLD LETTERS how many would buy, I know I wouldn't?
