That is your oppionion, i respect that.
I won't mention the fact that this particular software isnt actually the game itself..........Moreover, it is actually more a nuisance than protection, coz we all know how long it takes to crack. Honestly, i cant wait for the crack to come and remove this protection AND the software called StarForce from my system. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/badsmile2.gif" alt="" />
But isnt that illegal? ...Oh and Starforce installing itself without permission is legal? ..oh ofcourse there is no spyware.. well, if it put itself there without my consent AND knowledge, im NOT going to trust that am i!?

I did not ask for it when i bought the game.
If a game is really good, people will buy it if its worth it..
Even if it is cheaper to DL it, i will go out and buy that game because the programmers deserve that credit for their hard work.

Protecting a game is ultimatly really a waste of time, resources, reliability and performance (to me anyway).

The one game that will impress me most, is one without protection at all..
