forum rule #1 has nothing to do with this
and EA charges $10-$15 for a replacement disk... witch we do not even need NOR we require to do in any country by law
no one CAN NOT play 2142 online ranked with out a valid CD-KEY,
and the cracked versions do not need a DVD or an image EVER.
and i'm sure as senior member your well aware of this
i ALWAYS watch what i post... if you want to include not even mentioning certain words i think it would be fair to mention that in rule #1, as it is a bit extreme and unusual, BUT if it would be at least mentioned i would have avoided mentioning names
or if you meant that the one version that is really wrz is USELESS - normally negative comments are allowed about such things - but if that was the reason then i apologize - because that was "discussing"-it just in a negative way
again I’m not criticizing deleting the name or the image, but the comment about rule #1 as i always hold my self in the borders of rules so the boards wont get in trouble
it was not fair comment IMO
what we discussed here IS how to have a LEGAL backup of our 2142, so far i know there are LAWS in any country this game is distributed that one can have at least 1 backup... how you create that backup is irrelevant (even if its downloading)... and again as a senior member you well aware that this image can only used in connection with a legal cd-key
the law DO NOT require us to get a replacement DVD from the manufacturer, in fact its quite the opposite we are protected by law against such things
