Tibbs Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Angry? He past that a couple of notches ago. Perhaps some time spent outside of his mom's basement would help?:biggrin: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChuikovChambered Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Alright, Chu-n00b's opinion: That gamer should get off his Bawls drinks, get out of his mom's basement (or maybe stay there in quarantine), realize what copyrights are for, and get a life outside the realm of gaming. After all, without a real life, a person can't have a real gaming life, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarball Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 If it was n00bsnake, there'd be a still in the background, his mom would be yelling at him to get her a pack of cigarettes from the Piggly Wiggly and you'd see a few cars up on blocks out the window. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Btw where is that dude? (Rougesnake)Usually on TS fridays and saturdays :debile2:Oh and all though the guy in the video seriously needs some poon-tang i agree with him 100% the only thing advanced multi layer copyprotection ever does is stop paying customers from playing the game, completely retarded, and the game industry keeps paying for thesee useless copy protection softwares that get cracked the second the game hits the market (sometimes even before that)The only sucessfull way so far has been CD-keys to prevent pirates from playing online.I admit SB PRO PE has a very good copy protection but i doubt we will ever see that for commercial games, to much of a hassle for 14 yo wanting to play the latest CoD game 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for sure that was cracked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted July 1, 2008 Members Share Posted July 1, 2008 The prime purpose of disc based copy protection schemes is to buy the publisher three months to sell of the majority of copies of a game at full price. Afterwards a game would almost always be reduced in price to sell off the remaining stock.Of course, the ones who are hurt most are legitimate customers, which is why it is a stupid move. The alternative is a web based authentification service (but you're screwed if you don't have internet connection when you want to play), and you're totally at the mercy of the publisher to pull the plug from your account anytime (and there's no court of appeals). Not really what I'd call a fair balance between consumer and vendor power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejawolf Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 i read relic has an interesting copy protection scheme, where they only had CD-check for the release version. with the first patch, they include a no-CD patch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
