Luigi Contini Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 Seems a bit odd to allow people to play the game without the disc. What's to prevent people taking back the game after having installed it or just selling it on second hand? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzay Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 thats exactly what i thought, but then again cant the buyer of the 2nd hand game go to that website to deactivate the game on computers to get the seat back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Contini Posted December 12, 2008 Author Share Posted December 12, 2008 I suppose so though I've heard that it's not to easy to deactivate someone else's seat. And if someone returns the game as faulty and gets their money back, what then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzay Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 This is the key flaw of the new way of the discless(if thats a word) playing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
isuckatfm Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 You bring a game back and claim it is faulty, the store people check it on their machine. If it works on theirs then they have grounds to say it is an issue on your end and not with the disc. As far as I know if you return a PC game to some shops they refuse to refund/replace once it's been opened (no plastic wrapping). As for second hand I'm pretty sure whoever designed it came up with some kind of contingency. Unless of course the intention is to wipe out the second hand market The one I can't wrap my head around is the number of machines you can install on. Any tech people know the ins and outs of that one? Purely intellectual curiosity of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purely intellectual curiosity of course. from what i know is u can have it installed on up to 5 machines, but you can deactivate it say on one machine if you have a new one, so you get that activation back and can use it on the new computer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
