How Do Pirates Hack a Game ?

The Storm Eagle DRM model caused me to pass up Jutland. They're such a small studio, I didn't think I could risk getting that final patch to make the game playable, if they went belly up.

Matrix games uses a serial number model. It seems to work pretty well, but they're an even smaller niche than sub sims and their games are cheap to make, relatively, and sell only a few thousand copies.

I don't know the answer to this. Maybe there isn't one. I think it will end with the publishers just getting out of the PC market.
