Remember that id have been pretty generous up till now with no copy protection etc. and writing patches which mean you no longer need the cd. But now that they're writing cd's with copy protection i guess we'll just have to wait and see what the protections like.. Bish

At the end of the day, Id have to make money, if that means we have to buy a copy for each machine on, say, a small LAN, that would be a hefty outlay What would be good, (as Id are selling the game as multiplayer anyway) is if they introduced some form of licensing at 1/4 the price of the full product per licence. As you say, we'll just have to wait and see... :) Bish wrote in message ... >In article <_Yjv2.49$oR7.17...@news.telia.no>, chiller ><chi...@os.telia.no> writes >>How is ID gonna do the cd check stuff this time?? >>In q2 you could play DM without the cd but q3a is only multiplayer, right?? >>So if I have a LAN do I need to buy a new copy for every 'puter??? >> >> >>chiller >> >> >>-- >> >>webmaster / maintainer / news publisher: http://home.telia.no/chiller >> >>ICQ#: 11362056 >> >> >> >> > >-- Hmm, good point.
