Yes I can see where you are comming from, as this topic took me by surprise & its what I had 1st impressions of what they should do, but after you pointing that out with me its not as good as I 1st thought.

As they say there is always another way wether it's better or for worse, I reckon that Protections on Games will always be around...

Gotta think about what the guy thinks about his own Copy Protection when it comes to buying a Game with his own Protection Creation on it ? LoL

1. Does he get rid of his protection in the Game to play without it

or

2. Does he live with it & use the Original Disk all the time (I Bet Not)

or

3. Does he get the Game without the Protection on it ?

What do you think... What would you do in this sitsuation. Especially if you created the Protection for the Game you bought.

sounds all good,but if i had to ring a phone number everytime i bought a game i just wouldnt bother anymore.

people dont like hassle.

hell i never even rang microsoft for my activation code,i just cracked it.(before i had the net)

Yea ok But what if the Phone Call was free for the 1st Time only just to get your Code ?

[glenbo]

like they would pay operators and not get anything in return... and if they did,it wouldnt be many,so there would be like 5 hour cues.

also,the more hassle that comes with a game,the less people buy it,look at teh awful sells of chaos theory as evidence.

also if each key was protected,what would teh point be of these forums,because you wouldnt be able to make a backup.

Good point

I'll rest my case, it just go's to show that Protections just might stay around for a long time comming, the only problem being is that it will just get worse, just look at StartForce & Tages.
