Re: Treating customers like pirates

Actually, the secondary effect will do a LOT to slow down piracy. 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.

Right, because there are so many titles out there that haven't been cracked.

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.
