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.
Yep, spot on. If somebody can only afford one game and they want two, one will get copied.
All true. The fact of the matter is: The only person who can't copy a game is a legit user, who has no experience with copying or cracks. These people, and only these people, are the only example of the copy protection doing it's job. And as the copy protection wasn't aimed at them, it's kinda funny <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
