UBI are you listening? This is what happens when you spend time and money trying (in vain) to prevent pirates from playing your games. You do nothing to stop the pirates, all you do is piss off LEGIT OWNERS. And then you rub salt in the wound by releasing such a buggy game. Can you imagine how much more finished this game would have been if they didn't take time out to program all of these anti-nocd crack "mods"?

Could you imagine how good Windows would be if Microsoft didnt have to spend so much time and money patching security flaws because of some people's dishonesty? Makes me wonder what will happen to Mac OS now that its invulnerability is beginning to be challenged.
I'm sure that Ubisoft and other companies would be happy not to have to pay Starforce or Securom for their protection systems, but thanks to a minority of dishonest people we have to deal with cumbersome CD-keys, disc verification systems, and so on.
The noteable example of course is Galactic Civilizations which doesn't incorporate any invasive form of protection. It will certainly be interesting to see if Stardock releases more games if these will have protection or not, beyond the serial number required to register for patches, which I happen to think is a really nice system.
