No, not developers, the publisher...
 Developers get like... er... crap(?) out of the final earnings. Out of the $50 a game costs, almost 80% of it goes to the publisher, and correct me if I'm wrong. Imagine if they had to pay for the protection as well...

The publisher earn most of the money you put into a game when you buy it, so its their "mission" to save the game from warez scene and illegal distribution. Guess what, they decide which copy protection to take...I think the developer doesnt want the games to be offered in inet illegal but they get the money from the publishers like Take2 or Vivendi,... and thats all, they get $ from the publisher and the publisher needs to get the money he gave the devs back with paying the game. Which isnt very good if you can get it on inet, kazaa, ... so they use StarForce 3

The publisher can't always use the hardest of SF, it would simply kill the end users machine...imagine Doom III with the toughest version, VM stuff, Hidden filesystem and 50+ pcodes? Pretty much pull the trigger, order pizza, get a beer, get another beer, check what's on TV, take a wuzz, have sex with GF and then *maybe* watch the nice shot hitting the enemy....

I always thought copy protections actually act before playing a game, at the game's startup...
StarForce is running ingame to check the physical and virtual drives ? Yeah, now i guess why CSS and HL2 dont have SF, and Splinter Cell 3 was running like a 1930's movie with 15 frames ^^

i think that we are in a good course. games like silent hunter 3 and soldiers heroes of WW2 have been cracked. reloaded team has done a terrific job against starforce protection. hopefully we will see a splinter cell chaos theory crack
