If I buy a product, I'm entitled to install it as many times as I want to, even 10 years from now.
Something that with the present copy protection is not possibile.
How hard is it to learn from Stardock, or from THQ who released COH without copy protection.
Or even Supreme Commander whose copy protection was officially eliminated after some patches.
Same thing with Epic and Id games.
I find it a nonsense to piss off your legitimate customers, you know the guys that actually spend those 40-50$ to buy the game.  |
Yeah - that is one thing that ticks me off about BioSHock to no end - suppose 10 years from now and I want to run it for old times sake, and they no longer have an activation server running? How is that benefitting me exactly? The pirates still have their cracks and can play fine, but I'm out in the cold. I'm still ticked by that.
