NepentheZ Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Sorry for going off topic here, but what is "lawl" ? Also, I'm sure, almost 100% sure you have a phone. And you clearly have internet access. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyprime Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 i dont like the idea of having to spend more money on a phone call to get permission to play the game, luckily thats not the case for me but it would have been last year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker.simon Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Okay How are offline users supposed to play FM 09 when the boxed version comes out?? you need to verify your code so how do people with no online and no phone play FM ???? I would imagine you could do it by post also, like the good old days! TBH the chances of not having internet, home phone or a mobile phone and also not knowing anyone that will let you use theirs are pretty slim! I see your point though, I think its a tad unneccesary that every single copy has to be verified! A better way perhaps would be to still allow play with the cd in the drive, but then have an option of verifying it so you can recieve auto updates IMO PS, I forgot about phone boxes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOP_007 Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Well I hope it says on the box that you need an internet connection or phone to play this game.

Whats to stop someone phoning up to register it to one computer then phoning again with same details but putting it on his mates computer and saying its his office PC, or his LAN PC. Unless there is software imbedded in the game to send details somewhere if a computer goes online (For instance to play a mulitplayer game over IP) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirky Diggler Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Thats **** i can't play Fm 09 this year :@:@:@:@:@:@:@ Well, You could just use a mobile phone, or phone box as has been suggested. Or wait til the 21st when you have got your internet and phone line installed. Could use a friends telephone. Unless the phone line activation is linked to your house number Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirky Diggler Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 Actually thinking about it, It will be similar to Nortons phone activation, so you probably wont be able to use a phone box. U ring they give you a code, You type it into FM, then FM gives you antoher code to give back to the phone then its authenticated. Which would mean Bit of a pain in the Arse if your computer is in another room to your phone (no biggy tho) Not so easy if you wanna use a phone box though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando THFC Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I assume if you validate by phone, you get a code and enter that and you're able to play the game on that computer but I also assume that that code will validate that same CD on any number of computers because there's no way a check can be made (assuming it's not connected to the internet). I'm just pleased I'll be playing it on the Mac. No need to worry, just keep the CD in all year as with every other version. All these anti-piracy measures are just spitting in the wind. They inconvenience the genuine user and, at most, initially delay the pirates by a day or two. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
F77 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 btw, do mac users have to deal with these kind of stuff? cause i usually only hear pc users complain, and mac users saying "s*ck that pc users! now who is smarter?" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil ole me Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 They would probably give you some sort of individual code from the PC box and you enter your OWN number thru PC (like counter strike) and everytime you uninstal, l it automatically knows it is your second install..............I dunno but it could be along those lines. As long as it works and it does not harm my PC then i really don`t give a ****.................bring it on!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross21soccer Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well I wasn't even aware of this 5 install security measure till I read this thread. This is not good. I do not condone piracy but the more games and applications alienate their users the more I can see why piracy will grow. Pay £25 - £30 for a game you can install 5 times and have to phone/register to be able to play the game you own or a pirate copy you do not have that trouble with?? Im going to really consider cancelling my preorder, this is bs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie McMahon's Secret Lover Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Have to agree with Ross on that. I bet the number to ring doesn't start with 0800 either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
