That kind of "protection" should be illegal. It behaves the same way as a virus does. It's just not beneficial to user or vendor. |

They just don't get it do they ?
Now they'll lose honest customers just because they tried to prevent people like me  from playing their games...

If it isn't another copy-protection scheme. It will miserably fail just like all the others have. The good software release groups will have cracked this before they release their "warez" onto the internet.
This is just another way to keep the honest people honest. It does nothing to deter people who want still want to pirate the "protected" software. They will find a way. |

What crap. Take your money elsewhere -- it got Intuit's attention in a hurry when TurboTax's crazy boot sector hijacking copy protection got publicized and people started switching.
I thought we got over this kind of nonsense after the days when Lotus required a run-time floppy.
Good thing I don't play games. What a boatload of crud you people put up with.
If there were a way to take a chunk of flesh before every game play and verify your DNA, these companies would do it -- and a lot of sheeplike users would comply! (No offense, sheepexplode  .)

Re: Yawn
It reminds me of the hell I went through with Warcraft III and it's patch that surreptiously installed SafeDisc with it...and ruined it. I ended up being on the phone with Blizzard and email tagging them until they released a patch that corrected the problem.

Then just don't buy any games!
If you want to play some games you can always download, besides there is a huge community of cracked servers online.
Spend your money on something worth it

Anyone who had a Commodore 64 back in the day will remember that disks were coded with errors deliberately to foil some copying software. The drawback to that was that the 1541 disk drive which most of us had back then would then literally bang it's read head against itself. Do that enough times, and it would either make the head go out of alignment or become disable altogether. This scheme sort of reminds me of that. |
