What's the difference? The protection, whether StarForce or SafeDisc (rus) is poorly implemented, so 100% chances that the crack works. The setup program does not install SF drivers, just DON'T run the game, copy the crack first. Then remove the "protect" files and you're clean. You might use the starforce cleaners just to make sure.
The game - although SP only - is worth all the hassle. Even though the intro is crappy, like a B-class movie or worse. The game really is worth it.
Now listen up. All this starforce boycotting crap will not produce significant results. All goes down to waiting for cracks.
A crack gets released? Buy the game, no matter the protection - if it's worth it. A cracked prot does nothing to your PC...
