With UBI style DRM pirates have a better product than the honest customers. A very bad situation. I wouldn't be surprised if big greedy companies like UBIsoft decide in future to should down old games after a few years, so that everybody has to buy their newer stuff.

One time activation is totally OK, but DRM is just restriction for the honest customers. |

Well....Collective health insurance rates goes up because people smoke, eat too much and devellop diabetes..., car insurance rates goes up because crazy young drivers cannot behave..., we get searched at airports because some fanatic carry bombs in his loggage, and so on....
 It seems that it is how the world has become, no ? Honnest and good people pay for the rest of the crowd... So what should we do about pirating and illegal copying ? Are WE ,the gamers ,going to find a solution ? Then lets watch small companies like Oleg's go down the drain if nothing is done... Something HAS to be done...It may not be perfect, but it has to start somewhere and then improved.... Salute ! |

They should search for a way that actually works, not DRM that is cracked within a few weeks. Annoy the pirates not their loyal customers. Maybe something like marked versions to more easily track them down or make sure that each new patch won't work with the pirated copies. |

You see, there are options to explore...But it is allways hard for us to evaluate the actual effectiveness of such and such anti-pirating method. I am sure that a lot of our dear members  would scream to death if there was no hard copy of SOW...I've been in the music industry since 1984, and like everyone knows, we do have the same issues...And let me tell you that in the long run, once the business is no longer a business because of piracy, it is the artists that pay the price...and the musicians, recording engineer, and everyone who used to make quality records.... How much would we be willing to pay for top quality sim like SOW ? What would be a realistic price in comparison to other crappy games that sell for $60.00? How much MORE money would we be willing to pay to get SOW without any kind of protection ? Personnaly, I would pay $ 120.00 for SOW if that was to ensure the survival of top quality product like SOW....  Salute ! |
