Starforce Petition!

[Monty Burns]

Just to make one thing sure: I DO BUY all of my games......And yes, almost every protection has to install "drivers" to function properly. SF really made my system to become unstable......and before any "wise man" comes and says something like "Hey, if sf makes your system unstable, you probably have a problem with your configuration", I have to admit that I am a sysop at a rather large company, and I know how to setup a system.

BTW, I have several systems at home, some of them are pure (fast and reliable) scsi systems. I am afraid I am a SCSI fan......but sf3 developers surely don't like me....

The reason why I don't like sf is NOT tht it is very hard to crack....it is more that sf games totally refuse to run on some of my systems cos I DARE to have hardware equipment, which sf does not like. Even if it thinks that I deserve having a look at the game, sf sometimes screws up my system.....

That's my bottom line.....

I had no problem with Starforce when I bought Kill.Switch, that said, I just don't like the idea of us getting screwed over with protections, that do nothing but inconvenience legit consumers of the software. Tages is the only one that gave me problems and am glad Ubisoft decided to stick with other types since putting it on XIII...

Not to mention they decide what software you may have installed on your computer. Does the box state you cant have daemon tools as part of its specs? Dont be surprised if they also start blacklisting websites. "You have visited www.fileforums.com, sorry you can no longer play the game."

Well, I can see class action law suits happening if they continue to push such boundaries. Again the government isn't doing anything, but we already pay taxes on recordable media and burners to pay them for the privilege of making backups. That doesn't stop them from taking our rights away still. Sound unlawful to me... :slant:

There's looks to be a "media/technology" war coming up methinks...
