I think its easier to pirate..

Evil Koala · 03-02-2007, 07:06 PM

than it is to purchase and own a valid copy of this game.. First, the sprocket bull**** causing crashes.. Now, 1.05 wont run with my previous cracked CD version.. So I try to reinstall the Sprocket version and it says I've already used my activation.. I only get 1? WTF..

So now this question is.. Who will fix it first? Will Sprocket get back to me (though their piles and piles of post patch support emails), or will the crackers make a new crack? Only time will tell..

...I'm starting to miss StarForce.. at least they gave you 3 activations..

Your language and your pro-piracy comments are inappropriate and unwanted here.

I don't think hes encouraging piracy as much as making a point that its probably easier. Most of the people who play this game with pirated versions did pay for it only to find it didn't work as expected.

I'm not sure whats up with your version Evil. A email to softwrap has helped others in your situation but you have to wait for them to get back to you. I've heard mixed reviews on jhow long this takes. If I where you I'd ask for my money back and order the UK 505 version and wait for it in the mail. I don't think it takes that long.

ARRRGGHHH!!! Last time I also buy an online game. I'm having the same issue with the German version. Just emailed Metaboli...expect answer probably sometime next week I bet.

I don't think it is immoral to download a pirate copy and buy the online version solely for the cd key. You get the DVD version without leavin your house plus more money goes to the developers then buying the actual DVD copy.

Evil, I certainly share your frustrations about the implementation of the downloaded versions of this game. However, as Root said, it is important we maintain a high-level of civility here at Tactical Gamer. If you are experiencing issues feel free to participate in one of the existing posts or start one with a less instigating tone.

Feel free to PM if you have any questions.
