Biggest threat to the SOW series

[Spinnetti]

I bought the original IL2 and every expansion and version including 1946. I also use the DVD crack, because I play the game a lot and HATE having to have the CD in. When you can pirate a game easier than run in legitimately, you are asking for trouble. When I bought the original Unreal Tournament, the copy protection wouldn't let the cd drive read the disk, and the store wouldn't take it back. My only recourse? - a "pirate" version, but since I bought it it wasn't really pirated - just a countermeasure for a stupid protection attempt. No matter what the method, there is always a crack practically the second a game comes out. If you deliver enough value, people will buy it, just like I bought all the IL2 stuff! BTW, Theatre of War is cracked, though not like I would use or condone that.
