Did a player review of CoD over at Gamespot...

[nearmiss]

I said it before and I'll say it again.

The people that are into software piracy are mad as hell.

They have been driving us nuts talking down on the forums, since the release of BOB COD on steam.

The future will require piracy protection... and the future is now.

All the bit about "I won't buy it, etc" --- LOL ---- They weren't planning to buy it anyway.

Hang on the ride maybe a bit bumpy. The end will be an awesome BOB COD.

Just check on the stats on some of the pirate sites how many illegal downlaods of IL2 there have been.
I remember reviewing such a site several years back, on that one site they had downloaded over 1/2 million copies of IL2 sturmovik 1946.

That is an astronomical theft...

So yeah! something has to be done, done, and done again to protect intellectual property.
