just that there's a much stronger correlation between the complainers and pirates than between complainers and non-pirates.
Politely put this way I think it is right.
I'm no pirate at all; I don't even need to, I see no sense in it, consiodering the low prices of games I find in "budget zones" and in second-hand shops and flea markets.
I don't need to pirate, because the prices of budget versions are fairly low. All I need is patience.
But what bugs me is that I must alkways have a CD in the drive while playing. Or a DVD. Which means that I would have to have 10+ drives in my PC considering the amount of games I have currently installed.
But I can only play one at a time, because I have only ONE CD-ROM drive and since the beginning of this month ONE DVD drive.
So, I feel kind of limited.
But I think I'll take the code-wheel out of my Ankh box and play it without the CD, then. Plus, NWN1 with the latest patch doesn't need the CD either.
*sigh* Those where the times when I couzld play Commander Keen freely ... I still have it installed ... But even then, pirating was an issue ...
I sttill have a disquette of an Blues Brothers Jump & Run game somewhere which also had a copy protection. You couldn't play the game without the disj in the drive.
Some things never change.
Oh, and I just had an inspiration: Maybe DRM is a bit like the key you need in order to drive your car ?
