Then there's also a problem with the security of the purchase - what if the serial gets generated by some online generator? It's gonna be hard to prove that you didn't post it somewhere. Also, 3 installs is pretty limited. I've installed on my desktop and laptop, and I'm upgrading my desktop soon (got new cpu). I might also replace notebook in a few months. So I've pretty much exhausted all my 3 installs, all in a week or so since the purchase, and if I got for a new laptop, I won't be able to install the game I own on a computer I own? I'd say, this is not fair to paying customers who have to jump through the hoops to use what they paid for, all the while the warez users have the time of their life. Lets face - ME will be cracked, sooner or later, and those who pirate the game, won't have a single issue, while us, the paying customers, will have a ton of limitations on the fair use of the product. If Gamecopyworld does not see that online checks are pretty much the same thing as cd-checks, well then, I'm pretty sure we'll have another site like this one, but with cracks for new games, while GCW will gradually become obsolete
I have to admit you have been listening to people who think they know what they are talking about when they dont.

Your unique serial being made by a Key Generator is a very very very low chance of yours getting picked.

Seeing as most Key Generators will develop a key from either the last digits of the key or totally generated from scratch, the odds are very very high for yours getting matched. Even if it does by some coincedence you have the proof of purchase and serial which you can prove is yours.

And online checks are nothing like cd-checks. Cd-checks requires a cd/dvd-rom and media to be used while online checks are just a simple software check.

And yeah GCW has been around alot longer than most of the "other" sites.
