| twesterm said: Just curious (this isn't any kind of criticism), why do you change OS's a lot? I would think most people change theirs every 4-5 years and even that is a short estimate. |
Testing computers, sometimes I put my HD in other PC to test some stuff (so basicly, I changed the whole PC), I wanna test Spore in Ubuntu (so, I think I'll have to test loads of emulators, wine, crossover, cedega), I have XP32 and 64. I hate vista, but I have to install vista32 and 64 for some users, etc...
The better solution for piracy is like Blizzard does with Diablo2, you can play offline a pirated edition, but after some days you want to trade some itens online, so you buy a original version. Same think with Steam.
They should make a DRM-free game, even if it is a single playes, put some resources to upgrade online, trade itens, or verify the serial with the server IF you conect (but never make it mandatory). Pirates will have a bad time disconecting every time they play with a invalid serial to avoid been "baned" and will buy the game (except if they didn't have money).
Offcourse, they should AWAYS sell the game online, or at least the serial, if you buy a game in Brazil, you have to pay a stuppid tax for it, downloading VC games on the wii don't, I already spent a good money in VC, but is impossible to import games in CDs...
