Its very regrettable that ED has decided to ship BS with SF. There was a poll on the DCS forums and 55% said they wouldn't buy Black Shark if it came coupled with Starforce. A lot of chaps over at Frugalsworld and in the Lock On community who would have snapped it up without a second thought aren't getting it now. ED has just alienated a HUGE portion of the already small flight simulation market. I can't understand the reason why a DOWNLOADED version would contain Starforce? I mean without a disk WHATS THE BLOODY POINT!?!

Saying that, SHIII/LO:FC both contain Starforce and luckily I have encountered no problems as of yet *touch wood* and will be purchasing Black Shark the day it comes out... its just a shame that an awful lot of my flying buddies won't be because of f**king "copy protection" software. I just hope that DCS:BS isn't a complete flop in the West because of it, as it would put future modules in doubt...
