HI ALL.
FIRST TIME POSTER HERE. SO DONT GO ALL FANBOY ON ME... (OR GIRL).
The way I see's things is that Pirates have been around well, since the days of pirates I suppose. No matter how many Ships the King put in the water to combat it, they still would not go away.
Today pirates are still arround and will continue to be around no matter what "security" is put in place. Personally I think the developer/publisher has a right to protect their property from all that is evil, but however I think copy protection really does suck.
It would not deter me from buying the game however as I think this game really will be the best thing since sliced sliced bread!!! Yes that good.
In the UK it is retailing at on average £29, God knows how many attempts at installing this game or howmany times you have to "authenticate" on line but seriously though ,how often do you replace or even upgrade your desktop? Heres is an idea... buy it after you've bought/upgraded your PC.... or buy your self a boat... if you catch my drift
PS.. why have EA/MAXIS NOT RESPONDED not responded to similar topics?
BYE.
