Apologies

It is no drm (digital rights management). You are referring to copy protection.

I don't know about you guys but i feel that this time around and i hate to admit this. but I think we lost the drm battle for many of the following reasons.

1.Copy protections keeps getting updated too fast on patch releases and it is getting stronger or harder to bypass. Especially with newer titles.

2.Getting tired of the waiting game to just play the game without the disc. Especially games like Crysis. Which would be a new title to look forward to upon release.

Don't want to even imagine what kind of drm that game is going to have. whichever the case might be i am just going to install it and leave the disc in the drive and forget about it untill i played and beat the game or had enough of it.

thats why its better to have more than one CD/DVD drive just pop in the disc and forget it. its not like you be using the drive for something else. Or if you do need to use it just use the second one or third one problem solved the end.

Thats my strategy for now untill i see a permanent solution that can make both sides happy. This cat & mouse game is getting ridiculous.

Thats one thing i like about steam it uses no optical disc to play and yet its legit you buy and download off their server and register the game, and then you backup your registration file and your good to go.

3. I also feel that most has given in because i am one of them i lost my patience with these copy protections. As per new copy protection being released its getting longer and longer to bypass and that drives me nuts

And i wouldn't be surprise to see a 1.10 patch knowing ea. why because i notice couple of bugs in 1.09 patch so this game is not done being patched yet. At least the game only verifies the disc and everything loads off the hard drive where as consoles have to load off bluray or hd-dvd or dual layer dvd.

And lastly these gaming companies better be taking notes what valve is doing because it works and makes both sides happy. By nature of the PC you really don't need a disc to play they just want to force that upon us to prevent piracy which thats fine and all but this is not the way to do this. I hope there can be a solution to this where you can just solely play without the disc and yet making it difficult to pirate.

You don't have to appologize, since Y.A.S.U. is made on your free time... no free time, no Y.A.S.U.
