[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1242620, member: 110816"] This is an aged old story about game companies trying to protect their hard work and gamers looking for convenience. The old DRM method of requiring you to enter some random word from the manual is long gone since people might not be careful with the manual..but using the physical media (CD these days, but floppies from back in the day) to authenticate ownership is more feasible. A few developers opted to use authentication to a server on the Internet for their games and got a lot of backlash from gamers..so there is no clear solution to this..for as long as pirates are out to grab and release games there'll be some sort of DRM in place to TRY to keep honest people honest..
