Is this the end of no-cd patches?

[Rayder]

Possibly the end of copying, but why would it be the of NoCD? What is it? Is the whole CD one big copy-guard with that protection or something? Does the games with that protection run completely from the disk?

I'm not overly familiar with the various protections and all that techno-babble that I've read about the protections confuses the heck out of me. But that "the end of NoCD" talk disturbs me.


I don't worry about copying a game, just making it so it doesn't need the CD, because that's annoying. I don't give out my games to anyone, so I really don't see the problem with NoCD fixes.
