Another method of activating SOW.........

[janpitor]

When you buy the game, you know about the way of protection. You dont want the protection, you dont have to buy. What is not legal about it?

I dont say it is good to be online all the time. I like the way it is now in rof, where after the first online login, you can login offline for offline play and the statistics will be updated online after the next online login. So for offline you dont have to be permanently connected. But I will buy SOW whatsoever because it will be the ultimate WW2 sim.

Are they intitled to? No, not morally nor legally.

The piracy ghost is made up horseshit to give them the "right" to implement any control of an allredy sold item, legal or not. If its not legal they lobby to make it so, and "people" like u make it doable becaus u bye into theire whining about lost revenue when its not even thire buissnes what happens to a product once they sell it.


Once again, do they have a legal leg to stand on? ONLY if we as costumers bye into the garbage.



For fun, name one other company/segment geared towards mainstream consumer who would even get close to getting away with this bs. Cardealerships? Electronics? How about PC`s? Or music?


What so special about game developers?


Edit: Activation key done once when u install a new game is a far cry from constant internet connection. As far as iv read and heard constant internet connection to be able to play a game u bought, offline or online, isnt even legal when push comes to shove.
