Igor Tishin is not your "dude".
If you want to leave,go ahead.It does not interest any of us here.
But I just have to point this;
Flight sims never sell "tons of",especially Lomac 1.1 which wasn't advertised much.In this little fanbase they have to SELL their products to carry on.If their game gets pirated,that means cut sales by 2/3.So they need a strict copy protection.They're not working for only humanity,you know :)
Oh by the way,I agree that activation thing is frustrating.But not a problem at all if you do everything right.
