POLL: Subsim Members-- more or less than 65% Pirates?

[Reece]

I'm all for having some sort of hardware chips incorporated into motherboards, that would stop piracy then no other DRM/OSP/starforce etc would be needed, could be used for all games, as long as it stopped there, just imagine if every bit of software used it windows and all, you'd spend half the day feeding in disks!!

Yes, that is the best solution BUT it requires EVERY mobo manufacturer, OS designer (ahem, Windows) and games designer to subscribe to the same format and policy. I can NEVER see PC games going this way, the 3 main involved parties will never agree.

First and foremost, who will manage the security keys and implement their alterations, as the only way this system will work is by dynamic encryption key updates and certificate policy changes.
