Yes, and?

hey, you can do what you want
It just seems a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face, is all.
Wouldn't go near a game with Starforce on it. No matter how little i need to put the disc in the drive.
Unfortunately the DCS is aiming to be the be and all and end all simulator. Black Shark is merely the first step. It is also unfortunate that the developers are almost forced to use Star Force because they are so small that they must take every possible option to ensure revenue is revenue, and not lost to piracy.
DCS is already used, under it's pseudonym of The Battle Simulator, by several forces around the globe already.
LockOn v1.1x
and I didn't say it'd be fool proof, they are just taking every possible option - no one has (at least publically) cracked LockOn v1.1x (yet) so it is obviously just raising the effort vs reward bar too high for the community to bother hacking it.
They are making it more difficult to crack. If there was no protection, ala IL2, then anyone can crack it, and little money will be made from it. If it has some protection, then only those who know how to break it can crack it. If it's got as much protection as is possible, then even fewer people can crack it. Just because something is crackable, doesn't mean it is easy to do so, and doesn't mean everyone is going to hold back and not purchase/play the game whilst they wait for a crack. They are trying to minimise the amount of loss due to piracy. I didn't say eradicate it.You're obviously seeing something in his comments that I'm not.
The *only* people who have issues with Starforce are those who pirate media in one form or another, anyway.

The Download version of Lock On:Flamming Cliffs and BS use a type of copy protection that has nothing to do with CD or DVD Drives, I fail to see what the fuss is about?
