ED shouldn´t be afraid, if the product is good gamers pay for it.
No matter if the game hasn´t got a copy protection hard, look "Heroes of Might and Magic V" you can download cracked, but look sales, one of the more sold.
Also, i know people that have the cracked version of BS, but in the moment that they can buy, they will buy twice!! and it´s true!!
ED should be afraid, because, they still continue with Starforce, and i know many many people that if BS is protected with him, they would NOT buy BS, and it´s a pity.
There are alternatives to Starforce, but they don´t want.
In the end, the legal user is ****ed, and the pirate not, a pity.
Please ED think it again, if you do the same with DVD, i will be another guy that don´t buy.
Greetings
P.D. A good box edition, with maps, manuals, a figure, cartography of zone, will help too.
