Well bugging games with bad CD keys, revoking a CD key if one friend gives it to another etc - that seems a lot more than most companies do.

What companies are those? You have to be kidding. What company using serial keys does any different than that?

The 'key' file is also pretty useless. It helps people re-enter their CD key if they get it wrong, but apart from that I don't see how it displays a lack of security or a softer attitude towards casual piracy/game sharing.

I didnt say that. I said it wasnt all that much effort. It doesnt mean they condone it.

Regardless, what would be the point of playing LAN with one CD-key if only you are allowed to use it? I'm also curious how hotseat with two or more people can be allowed but not two installations on two computers at the same location for SP purposes.

Ummm... because one looks the same as pirate and the other doesnt? They dont mind hotseat play. Whether they mind two machines by the same person for solo play I have no idea but if it shows up then it looks the same as a pirate. If it cant be let thru the protection then its out of the running. Its not like they have to allow it.

Anyway, no complaints from me. I don't entirely agree with the stuff being done to mess with pirates or the attitude towards them but as I said, it's your game.

Well you did say you live in china. Its a very different subject there from what I understand.
