security key
Hello,
Today, to my astonishment, i've been asked by Satr fury to type a new security key because i added 1g of ram.
Ok i understand the piracy issues but...
Do we actually have to contact strategy first everytime we change some hardware?
Isn't that a little bit...ehm...over the top?
Thanks for your time

Re: security key
The Shrapnel version of Starfury doesn't have such restrictions; you'll need to complain at Strategy First.
And yeah, its a bit moronic.

Re: security key
Well i did...not a complain...just a new key request.
I've got the game for free with SEV pre-order but i like it a lot and i hope this key issue is not going to be a problem in the future.

IMO, you should complain. If nobody complains about badly designed anti-piracy measures, companies won't have any incentive to code better ones.

Re: security key
Everything has its pros and cons. Did you have an alternative?
Its simple programming to control an install from being zipped up and sent to all your buddies by having it examine the machine its on and treat any new major hardware config as a new machine. I agree that its an irritation to provide the serial again when you change your hardware but I dont really have an alternative that isnt more of an irritation.
