I'm sure games were better protected when you had real stuff inside of the box than just 1 copy of the game and nothing else. I remember Silent Hunter or Panzer Commander where you had tons of documentation about the ships or vehicles you were using or fighting plus short stories over events, etc. Today, well.... you know.
This was a problem a while back for those of us who installed Pacific Fighters I don't think it's a problem now because the US version of 1946 plays without being in drive I myself dread having to do a reinstall because I DL'd the SOM and 46 and I have to get my hands on a copy of 46 before I reformat (soon) but at $20 it's worth it. I own the original the Forgotten Battles, Aces Expansion and PF, I also use a no cd rts.dll but that came from UBI after much complaining about the right of a company to use software that makes my burner inoperable or to say what legal programs I have installed are allowed by a game program.
