My point? Well, Starforce 3 has been cracked before and I can guarantee you that it will not be long before it will be cracked here too.

Yes, and there's a huge difference whether it's cracked before or shortly after the release and months after the game has been released...
So, yes, a copy-protection is worthwhile.

I am speaking for myself, not for Larian Studios, but here ends my share, because this is a never-ending story. Don't feel offended, it's just the way I see it.
