Re: Network CD-Keys
The game supports multiple machines playing together as long as each machine has a unique CD-key.
The game supports multiple people on one machine (hotseat) allowing them to play all on the same CD-key.
But LAN would require multiple machines all having the same CD-key and some way of recognizing that its on a lan. Not as easy as the other 2. Illwinter has not tried to program that in.
The idea that there is a cost break by not printing a CD and manual in order to provide a cheap CD-key Online (maybe $20) is not a programming question. Its not in Illwinteres territory but is in Shrapnels territory to decide that. Apparently their experience says NO.
