Pirates truly have no shame

^ Well it would be all nice and good if the system actually did work. Wasn't Spore one of the few titles with a new wave of copyright protection scheme up? Look what happened, the game actually went up for torrenting 6 days earlier. Pirates win yet again, people like me who paid their money's worth get screwed.

Another point, what if I want a copy of the game on my rother's computer? We'd share the same CD, but the system would still count it as 2 installs. Then what happens when one of us gets a new computer? I can tell you as soon as my installs get used up and the game fails to install on a computer which either me or my family owns, I will be right there on those torrent sites inflating the numbers even more. I'm not about to buy another copy of a game I already paid for.

P.S. I do blame the alarm for the input code thingy, can't we just get a reliable quick scan thingamajig going with those  things already?

 

You don't have to pirate it, you just call them up and they unlock it for you.  I'd imagine that would be a whole lot easier and quicker than finding the torrent and downloading it.  Even on a quick connection a 4gig download takes longer than a 15 minute phone call.
