I suppose they made the game, though, so they do deserve it first.

Some people even take it a step further and won't install Armageddon's Blade at all to prevent randomized players ending up with the Conflux. I always consider it an extra challenge when the AI gets the elementals, but I'm nutty and finished a lot of HOMM2 maps on Impossible mode. I can't say I finished ALL of them, though!
If the DRM gets removed completely, that would be good, but I don't really feel a need to run the game from my harddrive as opposed to the DVD drive. However, I
think they did this because many players are having problems with the game detecting the current patch as an emulator somehow. That's why I haven't installed the patch yet, but they may need to remove the DRM to fix it. For whatever reason, it's a plus in my book.
