keeveek: For me, if youve purchased the game, you may do whatever you want (but not uploading to torrent), especially cracking it.
I follow a strict guideline when downloading from the net. If it's currently being sold - I leave it alone (with exception of this instance - but I legally own the game as well) and I don't sit in torrents as a Seeder.

Morally, yes, legally depends where you are. Around here you'd be treading on thin ice.

Don't care. It's also illegal to drink beer in parks, I don't give a shit 'bout that.

There are so many provisions now, typical humang being is making misconduct several times a day.

A sh*tload of them, actually.

C&C3 was a funny story. The game crashed on splash all the time, one patch made it launch 1 out of 3 times, the next one, would make it crash all the time again, rinse, repeat, for appox 6 patches. At one point i contacted support, they were pretty elusive until i told them, the crack fixes the issue, that's when they got really interested in details, like, my name, and EA account info.
Didn't buy an EA game since, and i know, i've missed a lot, and that they're probably different now.
I bought a retail copy of Crysis. It kept crashing in certain places. EA support even gave me a digital deluxe edition to try and solve the problem. It didn't work. I downloaded a crack and voilá! It worked perfectly.

Everything with Starforce in it needs to be cracked. But that goes without saying.

Right. And that's likely the reason there are so very few illegal copies of Windows operating systems out there and only the really smart guys have one, right? (*cough* Sarcasm *coughs*)

hedwards: now it's time to figure out a sustainable business model in light of the fact that you can't get 100% of users to cough up the dough for the product.
I agree. On that note, are there any (reliable) figures released by CDPR on copies of TW2 sold without DRM and (estimated) pirated ones?
I had one game that didn't run at all with the DRM (I think it was securom). I contacted the developer about the issue, and he was very friendly and tried to be helpful. After nothing worked, he gave me a totally DRM-free copy of the game, I even have my name in the start screen's bottom right corner :)
