Voila > developers: pirates 1:0 You're forgetting the professional piracy houses over in Asia that can sell you a copy of *any* piece of software for under US$10? The so-called casual-piracy, making a copy for your friend type of thing, is also a problem but no where near as damaging to the industry as just one of those sidewalk stands in Asia selling movies for $2-3/each or software for $5-10. > And those who boycotted this game are for me same like pirates - just big > vermins in this industry. I only support good games and good developers and > will buy any good game regarding of copy protection. All other is a crap. If the game's going to damage my system, I'm not buying it. Period. As mentioned, there's plenty of games being released nowadays. If one comapny doesn't want my business, it's not like I'll be without other stuff to buy. -- Win cash and giftcards just for clicking your mouse! http://www.netwinner.com/?signupCode=amuro98
