The sad thing about DRM is that it stops absolutely -0- piracy. The only people that ever even *see* the DRM are people A) Cracking it for a scene release or B) Legitimate customers that payed for it who don’t yet know about a no-cd crack for it… everyone else downloads the file from somewhere and applies the cracks and never has to deal with DRM. I really can’t understand why publishers and developers can’t get it through their head that DRM is a no win for anyone.

Yeah and those “IDIOTS” save up alot of money for me every year, you stupid. its just unbelievable, instead of thanking this group for the good job they do, which is saving my money and permit me to buy a new iphone, you insult them.

firstly the “crack” is their code to begin with thats stolen by the crackers – they removed code and put it out there for download.

so;

1. They got idiots to do their job for free
2. Its originally their product so they didnt steal anything

I forgot to add: I’d buy a lot more stuff if it didn’t contain DRM. For instance, I bought GalCiv 2 even though I don’t play it that much. I would be more inclined to buy other games if they didn’t have the DRM. I bought GalCiv 2 over them because of it’s lack of DRM.

For every single game I own, I always download a crack to break the DRM. I hate that crap. I don’t want to have to search for my cd to play my game and I don’t want to have to have to go online and log in to a service in order to play a game (like Half-Life 2) offline. I hate activation as well because I reformat my computers a lot.

Now a days, unless the product is extremely good and I really like it a whole lot, I refuse to purchase (and instead pirate) things that have DRM on them. Why should I buy something legitimately when I get punished for it?

reloaded never cracked a R6V2 patch.
so basically ubisoft not only used a cracked exe to fix their cd-check problem but also downgraded the game exe of updated games to the retail version. that’s brilliant work by ubisoft’s support team.

Well this is truely tough shit for Ubi!

I don’t think it was an experienced programmer’s error. I can imagine a noob marketting/support/sales person making the obvious mistake thinking it was either the right fix or that it would at least temporarily help out the gamers without doing other harm.

Either case, just goes to show that the scene DOES have a value. Most of the old sceners are todays game developers anyway..
