Speaking of Starforce... can you believe that UFO: Aftershock's DEMO (!) came with Starforce?!

who puts copy protection on a freely distributable piece of compiled software aimed at SELLING the software?

Digital rights / copy protection is a necessary evil, but the evil has gone too far!

ubisoft is in business to make money not to make us happy. Even with a couple of flaws, SHIII is so much better than anything else, espicially with the wonderful mods and moddlers. I don't think we should keep bitching. I've has so much fun with this game and the mods that I would pay three times what this game cost for SHIV.

Wow, so i guess having happy and satisfied customers is bad business practice ? :hmm:

The funny thing about the sony DRM is that you can use it against itself and hide your favorite ripping programs against it. It's a balance between a developer's time and money. Unfortunately not all developers are like Blizzard, and there are many occasions where "good enough" is the production motto. Where as Blizzard decided to continuously support games 4-5 years post-release, they know that it's an investment on their part to keep customers playing and paying and immersed enough to jump right into the next big product they shell onto the market. Other publishers may not feel the same, and would much rather see some better numbers on the annual report than building a market for 4-5 years from now.

Of course not. But you have to balance that with the fact that some people are just never going to be "happy".

Fact of life.

If your're implying unhappy customer = pirate you're wrong.

Soulcommander · 11-08-05, 01:33 PM

Has nothing to do with pirating. NOTHING.
