Frankly, after my earlier experiences with Starforce messing up my PC, and the promise of more such "protection systems" to come, I just stopped playing games on my system. Surprise, surprise, I haven't really missed them at all, and instead have spent more time doing constructive things with my life.
Today, though, I thought I'd check to see if SH3 is now free of Starforce - it is after all now firmly in the budget category (£9.99 in the UK). But no, we still have to load Starforce if we want to play the game.
What's the point? The pirates crack these games anyway, and the only people who suffer are the genuine customers who have problems with their systems. If they want to kill PC games this is the way to do it.
