Konrad0611 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Hi, I've read the post on this forum about how the game is going to be released this year and I have a question: As SI are going back to having a game which is validated by having the DVD in the computer, won't that expose the game to internet pirates again?

weeeman27bob Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The game will always be exposed to internet pirates, whatever activation SI use. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad0611 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Really? I thought the online activation went a great way to eradicating it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konrad0611 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Well even being more difficult is surely better than it being relatively easy? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Theres a sticky post at the top of the forum about DRM. Si was very silly last year, they knew they had to offer a way to validate the game by phone method for a small minority of customers with no net access and pirates lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konrad0611 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Yeah I know, I read it. I'm just thinking that it seems like a step backwards in SI's struggle to get paid for their work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtyscarab Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 It is a shame - but it's inevitable that FM2010 will end up on torrent sites. I don't know about the rest of ya, but I'd gladly pay 50% more for the game if it helps SI's coffers... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI do very well, they are one of the best selling PC games every year on the most pirated format! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HectorSpector Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Giants like Microsoft cannot even put out versions of Windows that don't get cracked. There's only so much that can be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpico Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I understand your concerns and that you had the best of motives when starting this thread but overall we'd prefer no discussion about FM piracy on the forums please. Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
