Galactic Civilizations II Breaks DRM Mold

Machitis writes "A recent news item at GalCiv2.com says, 'Our license allows you to install the game onto as many machines that you own that you want as long as only one copy is being used at once. How many sales are lost because people want to have a game on their laptop and desktop and don't want to drag CDs around so choose not to buy the game? [...] we were quite disturbed to discover that the company that makes Starforce provided a working URL to a list of pirated GalCiv II torrents. I'm not sure whether what they did was illegal or not, but it's troubling nevertheless and was totally unnecessary.'"

    Well thanks for the info. I was not being sarcastic. So far I just couldn't find no working crack for that (that was last summer tho). No crack on crack sites or eD2k would do it, and from forum posts apparently no-one had succeeded in cracking it.

    As I said, I, for once, am delighted to be proven wrong ;-)
