You mean you can't get full use out of a game by using Blizz's B.Net servers? Thats...laughable. To prove a point just now I've gone out and downloaded CD-Key creators for Diablo II, D2 Expansion Pack and Starcraft.
I have legal copies of all three of these games, currently installed on my system, all up to date. Went into my registry, cleared out my official CD-Key, and ran each CD-Key Gen 15 times.
Average B.Net Playable CD-Keys I got? 4. So almost a 3rd of the time I got a CD-Key I could use to play on B.Net.
The point of this statement? Blizzard's CD-Key check is worth less then the code it's written in. Just like I tell people who want to secure their machines with every conceivable form of Anti-virus and firewall. If the hacker or cracker(yes there is a difference, dispite what you neanderthalic idiots think) still wants to get into the system, they will get in. No ammount of security, on any site, system or computer in the world, will stop someone who wants in badly enough.
The next thing out of your mouths, well according to you, why even try then? As the old addage goes, locks keep the honest people honest. 90% of the world wouldn't know how to go about programming CD-Key generators using algorithms or even what they are. And without this knowledge, they have no way of doing it. It keeps them honest. Those who still want to, will inevitably, succeed. Those who can't do it on a try or two, it's a passing fancy, no one gets hurt, they give up and go on.
You've never worked for the military have you? *laughs*
Not only do they disassemble you from the mind down and reassemble you into a military non-efficent working machine(it's called basic training aka boot camp) they make you do every meanial degrading and revolting task you could imagine yourself doing, for less then you'd do it in the civvie world and when you're done, they send you over to their friend in C Flight to scrub their toilets too.
Yes, the real world does work like that occasionall decoydog.
