Impressive. Indirectly claiming to stand on the morally superior ground. You're one piece of work, really.

Since SHIII was cracked within 24-48 hours of release it is apparent that StarForce or any other such kind of protection scheme is utterly futile, a waste of resources and investment capital, , and rather than protect the producer only serves to tick off the buyers.

Copy protection works best as a source of arguments and quarrels....other than that it is pretty much worthless.

The most effective copy protection,it seems, is making a product so lousy that nobody but nobody wants to copy it..... Laughing ...see Luftwaffe Commander....

As you know, we are not supposed to delete threads except in rare cases where they are very short and consist of spamming for viagra or some hate speech, or illegal download links. Wink If we delete a thread like this, it will compel people to repeat the same discussion in a new thread.

This thread is boiling. Surprised

SF is over, at least in Ubi, and SH3 already has SF. We can't change any of those two previous things (well, the second one yes, with some tricks I won't explain here), so why keep it so violent? You should cool down a little, and realise that here, discussing SF as if it still was a problem is a waste of time. No one seems to be changing his opinion (strong ideas, that's good), so why to waste more energy on this? It isn't worth it now. Maybe it was still worth a month ago, when we still thought that SF was going into SH4, but now it doesn't make any sense to keep discussing it here in Subsim, at least in such a hard way.

Cheers Rock

Same goes for the locks on my house door. A good burglar can get in anyway. So you think I should remove the locks completely ?

Very Happy

Don't remove them but use some cheaper locks so you can change them easily. Laughing Laughing Laughing

Why do you even bother breathing? You're gonna die, eventually, anyway. You are a waste of organic material and atmospheric resources, and to think people wasted so much investments in you to put you in this world, how futile, you should've been donated to a Hot-Dog factory at birth, I'd love to eat your meat while playing SHIII.
