question about cracks (small)

[ash2dust2]

Its a fine example of the software industries paranoia of changing their distributing business model. They'd rather you got the game weeks or even months later and have you foot the bill for the latest greatest copy protection. And try to give you next to zero technical support.

Meanwhile the warez groups have released the game to the whole world. Which leads the software industry to cry 'woe is me' and hire government thugs to find people to make an example of.

They really need to wake up and stop lining each others pockets keeping status quo. Serial numbers have been the most effective copy protection, especially now that people demand to be able to play games online multiplayer.

Stardock/Strategyfirst have gotten a clue and have decided it was in everyones best interest to make the Galactic Civilization game downloadable besides available for purchase in stores. They just charge for a serial number. Imagine that, multiple middlemen cut out, no CD protection costs, no CD protection tech support calls, no CD production costs/wastes.
You lost the game or missing a file? Download the game again.

BTW Galactic Civilization is suppose to be better than MOO3.
