danilop Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 Yep, Starforce sucks, big time. It's intrusive, unreliable and generally big pain in the rear for the paying customer as we see in the latest beta patch and MiG-21bis activation blues. BTW, hat off to Leatherneck for they incredible and prompt customer support - but that doesn't change the fact that Starforce is here to punish us - paying customer. And it's relatively trivial to circumvent it, as we see in the other software titles. The fact that DCS modules are not pirated, has nothing to do with Starforce supposed security - it just mean that combat flight simulators are not mainstream product (not interesting enough for cracking groups) and we as a community are enthusiastic and supportive of Eagle Dynamics as a last standing company in Combat Flight Simulator market. On the other hand, we have to understand position of Eagle Dynamics on this matter. Being small company, covering niche market it is extremely important to have low piracy rate. So what to do? What do you think? Is there any other way to protect ED and not punish us - paying customer?
splash Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 My question is why they didn't use the Steam system? One activation for one computer. If someone else try to use your key, it is already asigned to your computer. Simple and easy. I can uninstall the games, format my HD, etc.
