  1. I saw a post online a couple of days ago that stated that your new Online Activation System is basically Starforce's Online Activation System with perhaps an adjustment or two for your purposes. True or False, please?

    Despite the fact that this version of Starforce does not install any drivers on your PC, I'm sure you must be aware that I and MANY OTHER PEOPLE do not want ANYTHING Starforce-related on their PC due to the protection's past reputation. The question is...Is your Online Activation System either in toto or adjusted from Starforce's?

  2. Exactly my point--DRM like this loses more than it gains.

    You can buy the following games, all with simple serial DRM:

    World War One Gold Edition (AgeOD/Matrix)

    The Guns of August (Matrix)

    Commander: The Great War (Slitherine/Matrix)

    or you can put up with this DRM and buy SC: The Great War.

    I've downloaded and tried the demo. Looks like a promising game. Has some features the others don't. Is it better enough to put up with this draconian DRM? No, it's not, so sorry. As the above poster said, the only people this DRM inconveniences are paying customers.

  3. That's exactly the point. If I uninstall/reinstall on the original PC, I've used up an activation. Have to do that more than four times a year on the two PC's I'd have the game on, between them? No soup for me.

    No thanks. The system treats the CUSTOMER like a criminal. Why should I purchase a game from Battlefront, with a system that treats the people who pay like a criminal, instead of purchasing from Slitherine/Matrix, where I can enter my serial, I'm good to go, and if I have to do it again, as many times as I wish? No problem.

    Slitherine/Matrix treats customers like customers.

    Battlefront treats customers like criminals.

    You tell me which is more likely to get my money.

    And I can tell you, from 20+ years of PC gaming, there are a lot of people who feel the way I do.
