That's just worthless, I wish this game was released on Steam instead of having this dumb DRM system, it's gonna get cracked anyway, deal with it.

Give me an example ?
Because Assassin's Creed 2 for example needed a permanent internet connection (if you have even a small desynchrnisation for 1 second, the game pauses)
But it was cracked... (using a virtual server on your own machine)
Every popular game available on Steam has been cracked too... (modifying steam's .dll)...

Not sure - SB Pro PE was never cracked either, afaik.

Had a look around for info on the Tages DRM.

Apparently Tages has been cracked a total of three times, but because of the way Tages' system works the games that got cracked were the ones where the devs didn't put much effort into implementing it.

The good news is that Tages seems to be regarded as being fairly non-intrusive.

In case not everyone's looked at the link on the first post.

Wrong Statements



We have seen a few wrong or inaccurate statements related to TAGES™ on some web sites. Here below some of these statements and our reply:


Statement: 'A tool that is able to make a 1/1 copy of a TAGES™ protected CD exists.'


Answer: This is an urban legend.


Statement: 'TAGES™ Software is incompatible with virtual drives (Daemon Tools, Alcohol, ...). You must disable and/or un-install your virtual drives to enable the TAGES™ protected title to run.'


Answer: Emulator blacklisting is, from our point of view, not the right approach and therefore, we do not blacklist such emulation tools. So of course, we do not introduce any software incompatibility.

Regarding virtual drives, you can have a mounted image of a "not TAGES™ protected title", and run your "TAGES™ protected title" with your original CD without problems.
Uninstalling /Reinstalling software may lead to system instability.
