What always annoys me is that the genuine purchaser has to keep feeding in CD/DVD's and put up with these programs running in the background, but the pirate can run the game without any of this crap!
Seems all they are doing is promoting piracy! They should just concentrate on protecting the disk from being copied only!

I've never found Starforce to be too bad. At least they didn't use SecuRom for their DRM.

Any protection since the days of the Data Becker -1 sector protection was neutralized within a week. The best they could do was to make a deal with the groups whose sin of life was to kill the protections to suspend spreading their tools for a few months.

I also have that Encore edition it contains Sh2 and SH3 and at the top of the box it says "Strategic Simulations" correct? I'm sure we're talking about the same thing and no it doesn't have starforce

If it doesn't contain SF, that has to be a plus.

Still, isn't it quite simple to remove starforce and play stock, GWX, or whatever without any difficulties at all? :hmm:

You run the risk of reinstalling the bugga when you insert your game disc.
