Hmm, I wonder if 3DRealms plans on putting this in Duke Nukem Forever. Might give them another 12 months to add to the development time. Wait, hmmmph, oh, that was funny. There is no DNF, never will be. |

it brings up a point. I had to fight for an hour to make the expansion to Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War run on my computer. this however is not a problem with pirated games, which usually never fails to work. if this continues, the publishers literally force people to go the way of pirating to play a game. I was resonably lucky, theres loads and loads of people out there that still cant make the expansion work. securom terminates the process if theres something it doesnt like. which often happens to be nothing illegitimate |

Yea, I've heard of that. I heard Alcohol, a ligitamate CD burning program, was was notorious for setting it off. Even happened to me once. I was mad pissed about that. |

very few game devs do realise that .... if you play many games you often ask yourself if a gamedevellopment looks like this .... " OK guys I got bad news and good news for ya. good one first! OK 90% of the game is done !!! the copy protection works BUT we have spend 50% of all money on that so go and make a really great game !!! " |
