Why aren't these used as much as they used to with regards to preventing illegal downloads of games etc? I don't play them but am I right in thinking they are quite effective in online games because they can limit a key to only one player, but they're pretty much useless in offline games because you don't have to register they key. Correct?
Can they not just make or more a more powerful encryption method and use the classic key system or have they moved onto newer techniques such as Steam? What do you think will be the next big advance with regards to copyright protection in PC gaming?
