hacking games with starforce

[RK]

I have to say, this Starforce 3 protection has been a godsend for games publishers - not having their games ripped and available for download before they are even out on the shelves

I fully endorse whatever they have to do to stem the flow of warez etc

hopefully, with warez on the decrease because of protections such as this we will see the price of games coming down - places like play.com sell the latest releases for £17.99 - thats next to nothing!!!

just my 2 cents!

A godsend? Doubt it. They may have to stop believing their own hype about how many billions of dollars they lost due to piracy. They probably had $1k increase in sales.

Not to forget that even originals sometimes refuse their work. That isn't godsent, that is taking the piss out of legit customers.

Hmmm...I wonder what *company* you were refering to? *w00t*

They say they loose on avg 1 billion a year in sales but they don't take in consideration how many people actually buy software after trying the full versions of their product found all around the net. There was a post on here saying if they can get piracy under control that will lower the cost of games, well I don't see that ever happening as greed is good just look at the record companies they were even sued and had to pay a huge settlement because they were over charging consumers but did it effect the sales price of a cd? heck no theyre still going for $17-22.00 a piece so gaming companies aren't gonna budge either just because they nipped piracy in the butt....temporarily
