If by "buying", you mean "happen to be transferring the bits from multiple sources that wonderfully arrange themselves in such delicate fashion so as to reproduce aforementionned electronic entity", then yes. -------------

yeah, torrents are nice, I find irc to be more reliable sometimes had CoD2 in a few hours, it's nice when you find good bots ------------- Teh Nibblies

| you know.. i often dowload my games by Torrents, but if i actualy LIKE the game, and start to play it, i will go out and buy it. after all, we will soon get to the point where evrebody and anybody can dowload torrents, if we dont start buying them, no games will be left. at least, no games without montly fees... :/ |

They don't really "lose" any money because of me downloading it, because I wasn't going to buy the game if I didn't get it from irc. Game prices are too high anyway. When you can spend over $100 dollars on two games, thats not right. Drop game prices down to a reasonable price, and maybe I'll start buying more

Lawl yes, its IS getting harder to crack the myriad of securerom etcs, like my current issue with Empire At War. That alone probably forced several hundred to just give up and go buy it if they want it bad enough.
Thing is, the only games I buy are online-BF2, PS, WOW(mistake) etc. You can't just download those and get them to work really.
However, FEAR, Imperial Glory, RTW etc, play the crap out fo those singleplayer focused games. ------------- |

Many tricks to get it to work: Using Alcohol 120 to make a DVD disc - best Until a working no-CD comes out... it's all luck and frustration. -------------

Hehe, yeah, with Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, they were using StarForce protection, which was brand new at the time. You needed to disable drives, mount the image via a USB DVD, then use a keygen, run a proxy to bypass the online key authentication... in the end I just bought the game for 49.99 and enjoyed a fast legit copy (I'm a huge Splinter Cell fan btw, so it's ok to buy!) The game's cracked now, and in bargain bins for 12$... but at the time, it was so worth it. -------------

Reloaded released a fixed EXE. You still need to mount the image (or have a CD in your drive), but it removes the SecuROM protection. I tested it, works. First, patch to 1.02 Then, replace files in the GameData folder with http://www.1cmm.net/files/rld-sweaw.rar - these ones . -------------

remember when they asked you for the 1st word of the 3rd paragraph on the 67th page of the game manual so you could load the game? none of this mounting, cloning, copying nonsense |
