This is just horrid, I cannot believe this, I still run games like Wolfenstein 3D in Dos. 3 computers (or OS reinstalls) down the road i don't have a game anymore. It's like every form of protectionism in software, it only hurts legal owners.
I bet 5 years down the road "normal" owners of this game are gonna have to learn to apply illegal patches to the game and this will get them introduced to software piracy which will hurt the industry more than if they released a normal locked to original CD type of installer.
For example, I love to support music artists, but due to DRM on downloadable MP3's I will never download an MP3 legally (among other reasons) so I rip from CD to MP3 that way I have MP3's and I support the artists. If they start putting DRM on music CD's (like they already tried to do) and stop MP3 ripping software, guess what, i will no longer support the music industry at all, I have other sources for that media that I'm sure your all aware of.
