Our game has still not been released in the illegal scene (no matter what other people may say).

- Our sourcecode is protected (cause Starforce isn't just about "copy protection").

"Rectifying" this would mean hacking away at our own backs with double-bladed axes (not to mention having to release a "fix" of hundreds of megabytes). "Yeah, let's crack our own game." <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />


Actually, if you bothered to read a few forums, you'd see that people are avoiding starforce games, even on the illegal scene.

Sounds like starforce is sh1t to me, when people won't even accept an "Unofficial" copy. It's not just that either. People are complaining about invasion of privacy, and the underhanded way it installs behind the scenes. And as you've pointed out, it hasn't been cracked, so all these are legitimate owners of this (and your) software.

People having hardware problems will always be looking for a scapegoat, and the easy target seems to be the "very evil" Starforce. ("Ooh, it won't let me make totally legal copies of the game. Ooh, I had to buy this game. Ooh, it sends all kinds of info to Mickeysoft. Oh wait.")

I'm sorry, but I'm very skeptical when it comes to people claiming their computer doesn't work properly anymore "ever since Starforce was installed". Yes, there is the odd CD-rom player that Starforce does not support, but then still, the Starforce drivers do not render the computer or the drive defunct. Are you always in this much agony whenever you install graphics card drivers? I think those can be much more dangerous...


How can say this is beyond me. How the hell do you what Starforce does to systems? All the creators of starforce combined isn't fully aware of the effect it's having. I find you're attitude very distasteful towards the buyuing public. Perhaps your time would be better spent on getting your own software right the first time, as opposed to releasing patches.
