I hope you’ve never encountered a game protected with StarForce… it’s horrid.
I heard of it, it was for some reason commonly used in Poland. Polish version of Prince of Persia Warrior Within used it. The funniest thing was the crack for it, you literally had to disconnect any physical CD/DVD drive from your computer. But to actually play original copy with Star Force? Luckily never.
Yep. If it found the disk in the unknown drive, it supposed it was an emulated drive. But if it was the only drive, it gave up and let you use that drive…
But it tended to wear down the disk rapidly until it stopped being reconized. -_-
It installed its own disk drive driver into the system, and said driver wasn’t removed upon game removal.
And so on, and so on…
No, it was better, not sure if it was a faulty crack or something, but there had to be LITERALLY no drives, even emulated (I am guessing Star Force, in case of lack of drive, allowed game to run)
And yeah, that was the biggest problem of any cd-based DRM, wearing of the disk
And I heard about that, funniest thing was when Vista came out and the driver was incompatible with the system.
Out of all DRMs I pretty much tolerate only one, Steam’s CEG. I mean, I did buy the game online, so it makes sense I need to be online to play it. Especially since you have ability to tur steam in offline mode and continue playing. Then we have Ubisoft’s uplay, I have no idea how it is ow, but when AC2 came out you had to be connected all the time to the internet, when for any reason connection died the game was pausing and you couldn’t even save it (since saves were stored remotely).

Main reason I am never buying an Ubisoft game or Diablo III, those are probably the highest level of bullshit DRM in Single Player ever. And just because I said I usually pirate doesn’t mean I don’t buy any games. I do have quite a few on Steam etc.
It’s just that generally, new games either have DRM that’s waaaay crappy or are seriously overpriced (let’s take Prototype 2, I enjoyed the game, but it only has a single player mode and if there are goig to be any DLC they won’t bring anything more to the story, so the price they want for it is just too much in my opinion)

And that’s why I generally prefer pirated games! -_-Oh, FINALLY a fellow pirate on tumblr. I also generally pirate games. Borderlands for example was a gift from someone. But aside from that pretty much “YARR HARR FIDDLE DEE DEE, BEIN’ A PIRATE IS ALRIGHT TO BE~!”
I use legal copies if I enjoy the game and it isn’t covered with DRM shit, though.

I forgot to revoke license for one of borderlands DLCs when reinstalling windows. There is 5 time activation limit, so that’s down to 4 :/
