What happend to the days were games were protected by a serial that could be found everywhere on then internet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" />
The days haven't changed much from then, only difference now is you need to get a cracked exe for the game that bypasses CD protection instead of a serial number. Funny, cuz all this effort is beeing put into stopping pirates, yet the only people it's stopping is legit players who don't want to deal with all that crap. The pirates just get cracks and continue like usual.
Another thing, if somebody is trying to get a game illegally, it's because they can't afford to buy it (or have no interest in spending money on it). So even if some miracle came around that could stop pirates, publishers wouldn't be gaining anything. They are just blowing their money on this CD-protection crap that's not doing anything cept give people headaches.
Not that I've had any problems with this StarForce thing.. yet.
PS: Larian has nothing to do with StarForce being on your CD, this stuff is handled by publishers, AKA "Hip Games". So posting about it here isn't doing anything.
