Will not buy due to StarForce

[Wellington]

Dear 1C. I must say XIII seems like an excellent game. That said, I will never buy it due to you using intrusive and unethical DRM, and the worst of them all: StarForce. Draconian DRM like this is unacceptable and turning away would-be customers. It is not stopping copyright infringers and only hurting legitimate customers.

I would like to point you to the Gamer's Bill of Rights, proposed by Brad Wardell of Stardock games. Their Sins of a Solar Empire have now sold over 500 000 copies and is totally devoid of DRM.

I hope you will come to your senses and remove DRM from your games and so stop alienating would-be customers by treating them as criminals before the fact. Then I might consider purchasing from you. But never will I install any game the infiltrates my system with hidden malware.
