Re: Nintendo, PS3...Piracy Tactics
You can't compare singleplayer games with MMOGs. Players pay subscriptions for WoW and alike because they can play together with thousands of other players...and they understand the need for the online service and the costs that come with it...if you have a singleplayer game, and the only need for being online is harassing… -
Re: Nintendo, PS3...Piracy Tactics
I think you miss understand. The Pirates I refer to are organized web criminal rings. Whom have botnets of computers they can control for an attack.

It's not a friendly hand out to paying customers making it easier for the pirates to become paying customers. Its carpet bombing WW2 style, hoping the pirates take a few hits… -
Re: Nintendo, PS3...Piracy Tactics
um, not to promote piracy, but isn't an online heartbeat thing kinda.. simpler to crack than local DRM? I mean packet sniffer, a few legit copies, and a PC acting as a proxy server and you could just create an authorization program to run on a local machine (the proxy server), and have it route all packets destined for the… -
Re: Nintendo, PS3...Piracy Tactics
I know it goes against what many people believe, but I think they should just stop wasting money trying to protect games from piracy. Here's some of my reasoning: 1. Pirating has been going on how long now? At least 25 years that I know of. Way back in the days of Leisure Suit Larry, where you had to answer random…
