[QUOTE="JPelter, post: 128116, member: 623"] It's just one of those things where stricter restrictions seem to make sense till you find out that nothing that anyone has ever come up will actually prevent it as far as I know. Except software that calls home every five seconds maybe, but even then most of that can be bypassed and it is completely infuriating for legitimate customers. Digital distribution is honestly doing more to combat PC piracy than any amount of copy protection attempts ever did since it's actually easier to buy and download a game on steam than it is to get it illegally. DRM on the steam level is just fine since it's almost completely unnoticeable to the end user, and at the same time prevents the 80s style just copy files and send to your friends type piracy. Anything more than that will start hindering buying customers and the people who really want to get their warez will always find a way anyway. On a lighter note I finally figured out how to score well in pinbot and hammered out 88M. Woop! [/QUOTE]
