Starforce Petition!

[Joe Forster/STA]

Fact #1. Most people crack copy protections just for fun and pride, not to make money. (I do. ) Whatever paysite owners, Chinese fake CD/DVD manufacturers or everyday warez users do with cracks is another story...

Fact #2. Today, it is very difficult to publish (even finish!) a game without a publisher. Developing a game costs a lot of time and money, and the publisher loans to the developer during this time period. In change, the developer gets like 2-5% percent of the profit (yeah, you read that right; I read this on this forum and got confirmed by a friend of mine, too!), the rest goes to the publisher and the vendor. A few developers do get their stuff publisher in online downloadable form (Live for Speed; games released via Steam), though, to get rid of the money-hungry publishers and vendors...!

As for fact #2, if you look closely, this is the same with music, as well: it is music publishers that get irrationally rich, not the actual artists that make the music. It is not only game business but the whole economy that is majorly f*cked up, because of only a few greedy millionaires and billionaires...

This is fantastic. The starf**k boycott has really taken off. Every where I serf someones talking about boycotting SF, even on the SF forum itself. The publishers must be feeling the pinch by now, I know game developers are sick to the back teeth with it. Long live the death of StarForce.

The funny thing about Starforce is, it has saved me literally hundreds of dollars. I used to buy games on a wim. I'd see a game box that looked interesting and bam, I'd buy it. I have NEVER downloaded warez. Every game I have is purchased and I have some 500 game discs sitting in two 300 pocket CD holders, but thanks to Starforce, I don't do that anymore. I now see a game that looks interesting and I don't buy it. I go home and look it up on the internet to see if it has Starforce in it. This has stopped me buying many games over the past year or more, and I'm grateful. A lot of the games produced today have huge graphic demands and little gameplay, or they're just crap. Thanks to Starforce, I now get a chance to read the reviews and check the protection before buying the game.

In conclusion: THANK YOU STARFORCE for saving me so much money!!!

I used to buy virtually everything UBI put out. I haven't bought a UBI game in ages!
