I assume this game has been such a great financial success so the publisher doesn't care about pirates anymore. More precisely: the costs of making customers, unsatisfied about of the game not working because of the copy protection, happy is now more than the (assumed) loss, made by pirate copies.

The CD Key Authentication is still there I think as it wants to connect to the net still, so you can either block it in your firewall or let it 'phone home'.

I wish all games would do this..use online cd key authentication (even in a single player game) rather than some crappy copy protection that is only going to be eventually bypassed anyway.

I agree tottally with you Talus, but they wont do that because they know theyll loose business with people that dont have internet and also it can be defeated, look at half life 2.

I strongly disagree. Have the online authentication for multiplayer but definitely NOT for single player. I'd like to be able to install and play the game a year from now, after the company has gone out of business, without finding that there is no authentication server around anymore.

Good thinking, agreed! Although, similarly, how about a multiplayer game (obviously, on LAN) when the publisher/developer went out of business?
