I am utterly annoyed with this new amazing protection in the game. so much so I was having problems authenticating my legitimately purchased copy while people who had illegally downloaded their copies were merrily playing the game. Every year, I dont mind that I pay for this game when seemingly a lot of people get for free illegally, but this time not being able to play something i legitimately own, whilst others who havent paid a bean for their 'copy' are sat there rubbing it in my face how great the game is. it proper wound me up.

SI, please, in future, either get your games like fort knox so bill gates himself would have no idea how to get round the protection or make it at least feasible that legitimate owners of the game have less of a problem getting the thing installed and working than the people who pirate it for nothing.
