Seems to me according to that article, they are complacent about PC piracy because they view it as a "Dying" platform for gamers. Console game profits are so high, they are at least for now - overlooking PC piracy for the most part.

Just think, if they all switched to Starforce, PC game industry might suddenly look profitable again.

Or the industry could go bankrupt because no one's computer would work correctly anymore.

So instead of Godwin's Law we need to recognize Kobra's Law.

Starforce is the new Nazi.

at least the guys from id realize there is a problem with starforce AND its counterparts in causing performance issues all for the sake of piracy. I know they lose money on piracy but they lose more by alienating their paying customers to stop pirates.

there i got the first pirate pic in the thread.

You aren't going to win the "I'm cooler than anyone who thinks anything besides what I think battle," because its only you fighting.
