Re: Damn SF CD
Yeah, but some companies (eg. Sigames) are making back-ups, cd-cracks and cd images against their EULA cos they think it will stamp out piracy (thick fools lol)
Problem is some companies atually believe it works (somehow they fail to consider that their game might not even be good enuf to pirate) so they continue doing it
This however is bad for the consumer as CDs are esily damaged, even if your cd-drive goes a tad too fast, so you have to either cough up more money for a replacement or not be able to play the game again without breaking the law
And they say piracy is destroying the game market, perhaps they should take a closer look at some of their own techniques
Actually I shall give an example
UFO: Aftermath's anti-piracy technology is so strict that I have no choice but to use a cd-crack just cos the game wont play without it, cos if you have a virtual drive or anything that is believe by the game as piracy the CD will not start after you have installed
Now while this is a good way of combating piracy, those of us that use v-cds as a way of preserving these cherished games are suffering
