Right. Id like to purchase DCS series/Rise of flight, but i will definetly not! Some facts:
- You cant buy the software, you only get rights of use and ...
- The duration of your rights depends on each customer! DCS: You dont know wether your keys last for 2 weeks or 10 years! RoF: You are bound to the internet connection. Yes everybody has internet, yes it is fast, BUT it is a waste to use it for artificial requirements without real purpose for the customer and ....
- There IS an additional effort for the customer to manage this kind of "security arangement": RoF/DCS: Internet does definetly not work all the time and EVERYWHERE. DCS: BEGGING for new keys!!
Conclusion: Puplishers disposses its customers. Customers get completly dependend on publishers. This is an development you have to fight against actively!
BTW: Yes i know about EG distributes new keys if you can present a proof of purchase. BUT is there any official and BINDING statement which CONTRACTS EG to do so? No? Then you pay 39 bucks to RENT DCS:Black!
It seems (didnt try but used google) that you can get a pirate copy of black shark (RoF: dont know ^^) with a little effort. So what is the purpose of this copy protection? Does ED want its HONEST customers to pay several times for the keys?!
Furian out!
