SF is not just a problem for hackers. Legimate gamers are affected too. Now, I not only don't have any of the tools for making copies (e.g. Alcohol 120), I wouldn't even know how to do so if you asked me. Nor would I want to. However, I just spent the last weekend repalacing my failed DVD drive. No, I can't prove that SF was the culprit, but the symptoms were similar to those that others with SF-related drive issues have experienced. This has left me very skeptical of SF, and I have since taken measures to make sure it's nowhere near my computer.
That said, SH3 is an excellent game. Go buy it. I'm glad I did, even with the SF issues. As to StarForce, as others here have noted, there are workarounds.
Once more: Go buy SH3!
Alright, lock 'er up!
