Why online activation sucks

[TippeX]

this topics quickly devolved into the other one again..

drm exists because of piracy, there's no argument there.. the securom product activation (and other activation style drm) i've had 0 problems with, sure it requires an inet connection but most offer other methods..

as for the reliance on daemon tools etc in 2,5,10 years to run the games, thats quite a blinkered view.. remember when vista arrived and how many games had problems with it? the same will happen in 2,5,10 years when new operating systems are out... and even if daemon doesnt work, you should still have the originals...

lets stay on focus, the topic was about gamejackal changing their licensing system, not drm, not activation servers etc.. otherwise we'll go round and round and round in circles again
