Starforce PRO protects nearly all files, that's the problem.
A crack would include the entire game.

you can scan the game with a-ray scanner and see which files are protected

Yes but these are only the main files.
The protection itself is much more complex.
you can compare it with mold in a glass of marmalade. You only see what's at the top but it's nearly everywhere. Starforce does the same. If you change one file (exe) than the checksum changes too and you have to change all files.

We got beaten by a group of Anti-Nocd freaks
Whats killing me is that they are 10-20 persons and we are an entire community spanning thousands of people and yet theres no way we can beat their defences.

Yeah, but this is their work! They earn money with this.
What do earn the cracker or the community?
We've also other things to do. We have a real life

But don't give up your hopes
Some day, StarForce and Co. will finally be beaten

You used the "We" have a life sentence, does that mean you are a cracker ?
Anyways...
Sure they get money of a protection but when 20 guys or so manage to outsmart thousands well there must be a problem right ?
Not all things come down to money. Personally if i had a cracking .exe files experience i would like to beat a protection for various reasons but mainly to prove that they aint smarter than me.
Im sure others can find even better reasons than mine or money.

No, I'm not a cracker. But sometimes I wish to be a cracker
I used the "We", because you used it, too
And I think I am a member of the community.

Me and many other people (not crackers, the community) also can waste their time, with trying to beat the copy protections with steps like:
- opening tower and unplugging drives
- installing software like StarForce Nightmare
- installing a game, only to check if a modified-exe would work
- searching daily for information

and so on.

People have so many reasons, to crack something.
Your mainly point would be also a reason for me!

Yeah you have a 32-bit OS and he has a 64-bit OS.
The CPU isn't important here.
And why should reinstall work?
64 bit is 64 bit.

lol? MegaGames has added the ACT:"Crack".
Don't they test any cracks??
