All this bu****t about legitimate customers blah blah.....
This game will be able to be bought from shops around the world do you REALLY think that ONLY "legitimate innocent honest" people will buy this game.
Piracy of software is EVERYWHERE (EVERY COUNTRY).
And anyway who are some people on the internet to say that there shouldn't be an increase in protection (of a obviously insecure product) because we are "Innocent cute cuddly honest people".
About the whole "it got cracked before so whats the point" ???????? WHAT??
Wife: You know the people next door got robbed and murderd the other day and our alarm systems broken.
Husband: Really!! Gosh lets save us the hastle and money in getting ours fixed and improved, we gonna be robbed and killed anyway, Oh well.
This is a good point though, but I am sure a plan can be made as even when a company goes under (doubt they will but anyway), the software and rights to it are still worth alot and will probably be bought where either the service will be continued at a low level or some other plan OR they drop the service completely and your F***ED.
