1 edit | It will be cracked Give some of these guys 10 days and it will be cracked.
I have no problem with verifying CD Keys, but what other information is being gathered from your PC when doing this?

| What you should be more worried about is what happens if you activate the game, reinstall the entire OS on the same hardware and then attempt to activate the game a second time?
What happens if you buy the game, decide it's crap and then sell it to someone else. Is there a 10 day delay before the new owner can play the game? Or does your activation tie the game to your computer once and forever more?
What happens if you upgrade from XP to Vista? What number of software/hardware changes trigger a failure in the activation mechanism? |

If Microsoft with it's deep pockets won't keep their DRM servers open for existing customers what makes anyone think these tightwad gaming companies will do any better. Rest assured they have "planned obsolescence" in their accounting, business and marketing plans!

Good thing every piece of software doesn't do this (free or otherwise). I keep trying to get on the internet, but I can get a dam word in edge-wise with all the phone home requests.  |
