StarForce 3 ****Cracked****

[Evil Homer]

Does anyone know why the Game "Restricted Area" which is a StarForce 3 protected game has a working crack on GCW and ***.
A-ray say's it's a StarForce 3 game so is that a mistake or has someone worked out how to crack StarForce 3 now. Hopefully it's the later, Does anyone know?

Different types of SF3. You have easy version, and hard version. Protection difficulty depends upon how much money the game developers are willing to spit out

[DarkLeftos]

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...

Yep thats correct, publisher deals with distribution, they pay the developers a lump sum for the software then royalties on top per sale.

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....
