It will be cracked for no other reason than that it is a new challenge. And then it will be downloaded for free by both those who don't want to pay for it, and those who might have bought the game but don't want to deal with this crap.

They're removing the requirement of a CD check from both games, which means there won't be any readily accessable no-cd cracks. As I've seen, there aren't really a lot of groups out there that will actually bother with big cracks if there's no need to make a no-cd. That means that when they update the game, the users may well be left screwed if they didn't pay for it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474991 Tue, 13 May 2008 11:38:47 EDT Re: Treating customers like pirates http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474235 Dogfather : Problem is it ends up in shrinkwrap licensing and you end up fighting the store to take it back plus gas at $4 a gallon. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474235 Tue, 13 May 2008 08:45:05 EDT Re: Treating customers like pirates http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20472107 delt4 :

The thing is this stuff won't even be a speed bump for the pirates.
Exactly, and thats what pisses me off. It does absolutely nothing to actually stop or even slow piracy. But it will create a headache for the people who actually pay for the damn game.
Esp the 3 installs.....screw that. I actually pay for my games and if I can only install it 3 times, I'll either not get the game or look for a way around it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20472107 Mon, 12 May 2008 20:05:56 EDT Re: Treating customers like pirates http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20471034 Camelot One :

I personally like Valve and how they built their Steam client. Play offline after activation just fine, play online as well.

No keys... no rootkits... etc.

Those that wish to pirate always will, stop treating your paying customers like everyone fails.
