Rikus Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 We love simulation, this kind of gamers, always pay for his product because we understand that is necesary to this continue. What about if every squadron, request for each member a screenchot of BS buy it with receive and with his face? if he want to join to it It´s a good way to help ED Greetings
Renato71 Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 Not that I'm supporting this or that, but isn't this against some regulations on privacy? Not sure about your country, but in mine it is kinda illegal to ask or demand for public proof of ownership... 1 I'm selling MiG-21 activation key.

Cosmonaut Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I'm afraid I'd borough Viper's script as well if some one asked me to prove I purchased a game. I personally don't subscribe to the whole ID culture of living in fear and treating everyone like criminals. I give people trust until it's time to take it away from them. It just pisses me off each time my life it made more difficult because a few people abuse the system and the worst part is that the thieves are only ones living free becasue they don't have register anything.:mad: Cozmo.

deviletk Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 No problem at all to photoshop something like that. Would be nice though if we could be given an ID when register BS. This ID could be checked somehow to see that its legit. Dont know how it would work, but sure sounds better than taking a picture of your face holding BS in your hand lol. Regards Alex "Snuffer" D.

Avimimus Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 THE most stupid suggestion I've ever heard.. I guess you haven't heard the much then... (no offense intended)
Erdem Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 I'd just draw them a big red "FU" in paint if someone demanded something like that . . .
DTWD Posted October 25, 2008 Posted October 25, 2008 (edited) Nobody is really going to stop piracy, the only thing you can do is to try and minimise it. As far as I am aware FC is pretty secure, which is about all you can hope for and to be honest ED and/or publisher dropped the ball a bit here. I personally would have had a simultaneous world release and protected it the same way as FC. Starforce is fairly good, has had some bad press but touch wood I haven't had any issues with it. Releasing it first into, and I am sorry if I offenend anyone here, one of the hottest areas on the planet for piracy and hoping the language barrier would stop it being widespread is was a little silly, especially when there was that "bug" in it. Suggesting ID'ing everyone who purchases the game is both unworkable and probably against quite a few laws, both international and domestic, in fact you sound like certain western governments do at the moment "quick while everyone is running scared lets erode some civil liberties". My plan of action for this would be to get everyone to get a riggle on, I mean really work there arses off and either get a finished game or decent multilingual demo out the door ASAP and forgo full testing (it should have been tested in full for the CIS release anyway), you would hope language changes should pose a problem for the code. Get at least the same Starforce protection as FC has installed on all new content and set the DRM install level to 3(!) temporarily. Once it's out do your full testing in each language and listen to all the customer feed back on it (releasing a product is the best test phase anyway), release hot fixes for all problems and once a month or so release a proper patch. Do not release a PDF manual publically, require a valid email address and serial to download it. Maybe thing about also requiring people to post on the forum. After a few months pop the install limit up/remove it. If you get any geniune requests for the install increases then take them on a case by case basis. The majority of games get pirated the installed/played within a few months of release, after that it all dies down. At this point anyone playing the game is chances someone who is geniunly wanting to play it/pay for it. If the worst comes to the worst us geniune people prop up the game until the next parts of the DCS come out, as each individual piece comes out and the older parts of the DCS have cycled from being available through piracy the harder it becomes for someone to get a "full" product and they are forced to purchase it if the are geniune fans. Basically BS becomes a loss leader and hopefully brings new people/fans into the fold. Well that's just my idea anyway. Regards Paul Edited October 25, 2008 by DTWD Regards [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
